as the little sister of mad father this isn't as interesting an experience as that one but as one of the classic rpg maker it sure is a cool way to get into the meat of the genre

while I have never played this game myself I literally remembered every single scene from seeing it on YouTube which I thought wouldn't happen since I completely forgot about this game for 10 years of my life but whatever

you know the deal already 1) high school setting 2) bullied girl ghost petty revenge 3) horror inter dimensional shit and you have the recipe for the one and only . corpse party gasp sfx sorry umh I meant to say misao yeah misao haha whatever

first of all the story premise is dumb but not really uninteresting there are some cool story beats here and there and these developers just love to put flashbacks fucking everywhere you will see what misao went through and why her ghost is trying to get you into the super mario galaxy horror dimension

so yeah the story is like this girl has unresolved issues with characters and so she decides to kill everyone and your only mission is to exercise the shit out of her

good setting but characters fall flat in this one maybe they're not as comically bad as ao oni ones but they're bland as shit and even when they're getting their heads chopped off one by one you're like umh ok

plus the protagonist is also a receptacle of either lesbian undertext with misao or straight anime cliche so yeah nothing too weird but choosing between the guy or the girl changes some things up like the girl being absolutely fucking feral and just killing everything in front of her thats fucking funny

that being said the main gameplay is always the same rpg maker stuff you go around get items solve puzzles do shit my only issue is that since the fucking school is like 5 stories tall if you don't know what you're doing youre gonna go up and down the pole like 30 damn times just for you to find a hidden key in a drawer what the fuck

and another main gimmick is like just going around and seeing how many death scenes are there there's a TON of death scenes here and funnily enough after some time of backtracking and shit I would forget the death cue and just die again this is insane but yeah whatever there's a fast save option so youre gonna be fine

umh do yeah nothing that groundbreaking but it is good and the final segment of the game can either be interesting to you or fucking bullshit mainly because why would you give a sexual predator and pedophile a redemption arc is beyond me but alright do your thing romanticise the shit out of this go on you killing stalking type of reader (i read killing stalking to the end im guilty too)

so whatever if you want to play 1 rpgmaker in your life look at this game as a contender of absolutely fucking not
