Oh my Corpse Party fans, we have some great news! If you haven’t heard by now, we are finally getting another game, Corpse Party 2: Darkness Distortion.
Game Description:
“The cult Japanese horror franchise returns with new characters, a new setting, and a terrifying new curse. In this standalone adventure, a colorful cast of high schoolers find themselves trapped in an eerie, abandoned hospital connected to an urban legend called “Ayame’s Mercy,” where they must use stealth and cunning to survive a multitude of gruesome ends.
Combining the Japanese horror aesthetic that made the original a cult classic with immersive adventure gameplay and an updated presentation, Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion introduces players to a whole new set of horrors that will have them begging for mercy.”
“Get the Party Re-Started
Corpse Party returns with an all-new entry featuring refreshed presentation and additional gameplay depth. It’s the perfect entry point for new players, and features plenty of nods for longtime fans too.
Japanese Horror Elevated
Explore the halls of Amare Est Vivere freely in both first- and third-person, providing new perspectives for players brave enough to take a closer look.
Spine-tingling Terror
Sensational storytelling in visual novel format with evocative and terrifying descriptions combined with smothering binaural audio and spine-tingling Japanese voiceover will have players on the edge of their seats.
Riveting Paranormal Mystery
Told across six chapters, with eight additional scenarios and a plethora of gruesome Wrong Ends, it’s up to you to uncover the horrifying truth behind “Ayame’s Mercy”— if you hope to earn the “true” ending.”
Thoughts
This really came out of nowhere for me, and I had even begun to question if Corpse Party was going to fade into nothingness, but I am sure glad it hasn’t. Given I just recently bought Dead Patient, I think I’ll be playing it soon in anticipation of this new release. I’ve even bought the LE for the new game, and am greatly looking forward to receiving it.
Bit of History
Corpse Party has actually been around for quite some time, and has spawned a few games by this point. The original game took place in a school where a ton of awful events occurred called Heavenly Host. It’s worth played the original series before this new game releases, so I’ll link to the Steam page, but here’s the description as well:
“A friendship ritual gone awry transports high school student Ayumi Shinozaki and her friends to an alternate reality version of a tragedy-stricken institution that stood on the site of their own school long ago. As the vengeful spirits of elementary school students threaten their lives and their sanity, their only hope of survival–much less escape–is to uncover the chilling details surrounding the murders of those trapped before them.”
This is the newest version of the game that was released in 2021. It’s every bit of the original game with updates. It’s also on the PS4, Xbox and Switch for those interested.
Final Words
Coming from a fan of Corpse Party but also horror games, this is a pretty big announcement in my eyes. I’m already looking forward to getting my hands on Corpse Party 2: Darkness Distortion this Fall and I hope a lot of others are as well.
