### 5/5 — This game man…

*2024-10-04*

Ok so it is great but I don’t understand how to do the part where there is a spirit and every time you go to one side it’s on the other side and it doesn’t work. Update: ok the glitch is fixed and I am really enjoying the game! But just in case you don’t like super dark games, warning this game is really dark, spoiler alert! One of the kids hangs them self in this game. But over all this is an amazing game!

### 5/5 — Corpse party is awesome horror game

*2024-03-02, version 1.02*

The game it’s self was worth the time and play through even though there’s no English dub I’m ok with English sub I like listening and reading but the game it’s self is amazing for horror fans I recommend it

### 5/5 — Need more endings

*2023-08-03, version 1.02*

Seiko is a really good girl , she should be alive at the end . I feel so sad that no way to save her.

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2022-09-10*

I saw this  game on berleezy channel and I fell in love with it I wanted to play the game but Can’t finish chapter 1, every time and I get out of the infirmary I’m brought to the seiko bathroom scene and killed by three ghosts in the end I know that isn’t supposed to happen and also the joystick is hard to control which makes running away or dodging the ghosts hard please fix this bug I really want to play this game. If it weren’t for that I probably give this five stars

### 4/5 — Needs to be updated for current OS

*2021-11-06*

I’ve had the game for years - kudos for it still running despite several OS updates - but now when I play it the character walks at double speed for some reason, making it harder to control. I don’t recall this being the case in the past. The game is still great after all this time.

### 5/5 — Great horror game

*2021-10-26*

This game is more like a visual novel but it’s still a really good one. It’s about a group of high school students who perform a ‘friendship charm’ they found on the internet in hopes that they will stay friends forever, but of course it goes wrong. They all end up being transported to a haunted elementary school full of spirits and dead bodies, split up into groups, and nearly all of the windows and doors leading outside are fake or cannot be opened. The voice acting is great and really brings the characters to life, the soundtrack is pretty nice too.

### 5/5 — Fun Game - No Issues

*2021-07-31*

I wasn’t expecting this to be so enjoyable. I’m only just venturing into the world of phone games and this was pleasantly surprising. I didn’t experience any bugs. Gameplay was smooth. Story was fun. Great overall.

### 5/5 — Love the PC version!

*2021-03-25*

Anyway you all could make it available for the newer phones? I bought it for my iPad and it’s like the screen doesn’t celebrate my touch correctly. Anyway thanks for a great game!

### 5/5 — I love this game but I need help

*2021-03-04*

So basically when I get to The Who seiko hanging scene when I tried placing the bucket it says she died then three ghosts appear and I get the scissor ending is there a way around that?

### 5/5 — PLEASE PLAY THIS GAME

*2021-02-11*

definitely worth your money . i loved every bit of this game ,, definitely had a fun time playing along with my friend !! some parts are confusing and definitely pay attention to detail
