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. ### 2/5 — Was disappointed *2021-01-11, version 1.02* The screen is pitch black during cutscenes and intro, and it doesn’t fit my screen. I’ve played this game on a psp, but on my iphone its really buggy. Hopefully it will get fixed! ### 4/5 — It’s great BUT *2020-03-16, version 1.02* The amount of types I have to repeat dialogue is insane- there needs to be more save stations and a way to skip scenes if I have to keep retrying. Also very difficult to get it to pause ### 2/5 — Crashes in chapter 5 *2020-02-24* Love this game, played it when I was younger on my PSP and it’s exactly the same version. The only thing I hate is that it keeps crashing!! It’ll keep crashing right after I get Yuka to safety in chapter 5 when there’s a whole bunch of scenes so I can’t save. So I keep having to start over and get away from Kurosaki only to have it crash and not save. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work on XR *2019-12-30, version 1.02* The game centre pop up stops me from even starting the game ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2019-10-13, version 1.02* I love this game cause it’s horror and I love horror and creepy plus I’m a kid ### 5/5 — Quite honestly the best game ever. *2019-07-26, version 1.02* That’s it. ### 2/5 — Please make compatible for the X *2018-11-17* Please update this game compatible for the X. Even if it's just to make the bars bigger, anything is better than the smaller screen caused by the home bar. This game is amazing and the story has captivated me. I find myself obsessed with the story and devour any bit of information I can find on it. The characters are full of development. I recommend playing both games on the app store. They're both well worth it and feel like full games. Not at all like the IAP junk that releases daily and are killing the gaming industry. If you hate them as much as I do, buy both these games that deserve it. Stop spending money on those games that charge $5 for a character that could be a repeat 3*. Book of Shadows (the sequel) does not yet have an English version, but there's not much a reason for it not to be. It's already translated on the PSP. Please release the second game in English. It is pretty much all text without the same gameplay as this one but I'd still like to play it. ### 5/5 — Worth the Experience! *2018-11-10, version 1.02* It’s like watching a horror film! The combination of visual novel story telling with great voice acting and adventure exploration gameplay with object interaction will mean you never tire of the experience, I certainly didn’t. If you’re a fan of horror - especially psychological horror - then this certainly is a party you’ll want an invitation to! ### 4/5 — Amazing...... *2018-06-16, version 1.02* This game will make me SO mad. But I love this game. I can’t find glitches and the price was really good for such a great game! ### 5/5 — Surprisingly Good *2018-05-24* This game runs exactly like it does on the computer, I’m completely surprised at how well it does. I expected a kind of knockoff or failed attempt to try it, but it is EXACTLY the same. Completely worth the money and for those who want to play Corpse Party but can’t because they own a Mac, this is a very good alternative! ### 4/5 — Fantastic... More or less... *2018-02-28* This is basically the exact same game as the PSP Version, but a few things... bother me. One: the typeface is set to either Arial or Times New Roman, one of the two. It doesn’t really look good at all. Two: The game is seemingly locked at like, 300 FPS. Everything is way too fast, to the point where the Wrong End screen gets cut off VERY fast. Otherwise, it’s the same game with relatively few changes. ### 2/5 — Great game, horrible controls *2018-02-02, version 1.02* I’ve played this game on the psp and pc so I decided to give this a try on the phone. My biggest complaint were the controls, it makes the game unplayable and the fact they won’t allow you to refund your almost $20 you spend to get this game is rubbish. ### 5/5 — Arguably the best game available on iOS *2017-11-21* This game has the story, the music, and the lore to be a top notch game that would be worth $40 as a handheld full price game. $20 for this game is a steal, I’d highly recommend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game Issues *2020-04-23* For some reason it won’t let me finish chapter 1. No matter what I do or what choices I make, it ends up killing my characters and saying “bad ending” when I have no idea why. It also cuts from when they leave the infirmary straight to the bathroom scene. If it does not get fixed soon I’ll definitely be demanding a refund for my money. ### 1/5 — Bugs on IPhone X! *2020-04-05, version 1.02* I am having issues with data not saving, the intro screen being black while audio is playing, and the game itself not being fitted to my screen on my device. My phone is the IPhone X, a newer phone with an updated OS! Please fix this! ### 1/5 — Not working!! *2020-03-10, version 1.02* I can’t get past the home page when the Game Center pop up comes up. I keep restarting the app and it goes through the intro and music but once I “press to start”, the Game Center pop up comes on and is an unresponsive screen. Worst $2 ever spent. Definitely a rip off! ### 1/5 — No Audio *2020-03-08, version 1.02* Game doesn’t have audio on iOS 10 and above please patch! ### 1/5 — Help. Keeps crashing! *2019-05-23, version 1.02* I can’t even play the game! I spent 18$ on this game and I can’t even get passed the introduction cause it keeps crashing over and over and over! This is not right! 18$ and I can’t even play it! This on an iPhone X ### 1/5 — Unbelievable *2017-03-19, version 1.02* The game is $24.99 but yet it won't even download I was going to do a lets play and give your game a shout out for others to buy it until this happened ### 1/5 — Hope you can read Japanese *2017-02-03, version 1.02* If you want the whole story you will need to read Japanese. This is the only game in the series aside for the last one that's in English. ### 1/5 — Fix chapter 1 *2015-12-28, version 1.01* There is a bug or something in chapter 1 and it won't let me move on after I escaped the infirmary and I find seiko hanging. Naomi swallows the scissors every time no matter what I do.I have been wanting this game for a long time and I spent $20 on this and it's such a disappointment that this happened. ### 1/5 — Corpse party *2015-09-12, version 1.01* Game closes in chapter 3, making it impossible to finish. Paid too much, for a game I can only play half of. ### 1/5 — Don't buy til it's updated *2014-08-17, version 1.0* Right now it has a 100% consistent crash bug in Chapter 3 that prevents you from continuing. Pretty crappy for such an expensive game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Speedy Gurls!? *2020-03-22* Happy to finally have one of my favorite video games on my phone thanks to the sale you had, and everything is going perfectly for me so far other than the fact that it’s pretty sped up, making the characters walk pretty fast which sometimes makes it difficult to navigate, but other than that...5 stars! ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2020-03-14, version 1.02* Not usually into anime-styled games but I fell in love with this. So much so that I played until the end and purchased the sequel right away. The only thing that sucked is the ending crashed and my backup didn’t restore- but it was at the end and the 20+hours it worked fine!
