So what do you think of when someone mentions the Corpse Party game series? XSEED Games recently released Corpse Party to English shores and in my opinion it was an easily ambitious horror game that provided a somewhat interesting storyline alongside a more simplistic gameplay that did not distract from the aforementioned storyline. However, for the third game in the PSP releases for the series, 5pb and Team GrisGris seem to be changing from horror to comedy with the announcement of Corpse Party -The Anthology-: Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Game of Love 2U.
The storyline goes that Sachiko’s curse over Heavenly Host Elementary weakens on her birthday, and characters who previously survived or died at her hands return in order to participate in a Cultural Festival. Unlike previous games, this seems to be more of a comical and romantic themed than actual horror-based, but until we have more details it is hard to say what they are planning. From the looks of it as well, the game system will be changing once again to a more simplistic visual novel system in lieu of the previous two games.
