I had heard bad things about this one, but I went in with an open mind. It, unfortunately, was as bad as I'd heard. The story is a really lackluster follow up to the previous Corpse Party games, and after a certain point stops being any kinda horror and just feels like your typical shounen or JRPG plot. Don't get me wrong, love a good "chosen one saves the world" from time to time, but that's not what I want from this series. The newcomers feel pretty out of place for the most part, and the whole story has things ending off worse for the core five than at the start.

Gameplay wise, it's clunky, annoying, and tedious for the most part. I can understand wanting to do more than just the "walk around and figure it out (with occasional chases)" of the previous ones, but this was not the way to do it. If you wanna be tormented by shadow people chasing you down to beat the fuck outta you, I'd recommend mixing alcohol and benadryl, it'd be more fun. And those floor hazards are just a pain in the ass. Achievement hunters, be prepared for a pain in the ass.

Anyway, I don't have a good conclusion, but neither does this game, or the Heavenly Host saga as a whole, so it's only fitting.
