what’s a little death between friends?
If you’ve played Corpse Party, this game holds nothing new to you, but fans of the franchise will love it. There are some changes to the game play that improve on the previous entry, something I am very grateful for after playing through Book of Shadows countless times. This is probably one of the best ways to experience Corpse Party if you haven’t played the first one, but if you already have it’s still a great game and worth checking out.
Takes place immediately after the events of Corpse Party: Book Of Shadows, and tells an even more terrifying tale than its predecessorThe sequel picks up where its predecessor left off. The survivors of Heavenly Host Elementary School approach their highschool lives. However, the nightmare has not yet ended for Ayumi Shinozaki and her friends. It is said that one who suffers a tragic death in Heavenly Host Elementary School may never be able to escape its curse. The horrifying conclusion of Blood Covered will finally be told!The opening song of Corpse Party 2nd was just released by Team GrisGris on their official SoundCloud page.

Corpse Party : Blood Drive is set to have gameplay similar to previous games in the series, with improvements made on the flow of the game. New elements will be added on top of this, which was showcased during the conference with a new “Corpse Call” feature – when characters are close enough to each other, they can communicate with each other using the Vita’s microphone. XSEED Games’ representatives confirmed that players will be able to use Corpse Calls in order to call out for help when trying to escape Heavenly Host Elementary School, and the calls can also be used by characters who are separated from each other.
Blood Drive promises bigger plot points than any previous game in the series, with even more twists and turns. The game is set to be 2 ½ times larger than Book of Shadows , with much more text to read through – all of which will offer plenty of insight into each character’s personality. Just like Corpse Party : Book of Shadows , Blood Drive will have CG cutscenes that are unlocked by finding items in the game.
Corpse Party : Blood Drive will have a brand new opening song for the game, with XSEED Games’ reps saying they are very fond of it, and that fans who enjoyed the previous title’s songs will be pleased as well.
