For a franchise featuring such cute characters, 5pb’s visual novel series Corpse Party is anything but adorable. As such, faint-hearted players need not apply to Corpse Party: Blood Drive, the latest instalment in the hideous horror brand. Due out on 24th July in Japan, this outing aims to render the scares in 3D for the first time – but the protagonists remain as innocent looking as ever.
The title takes place two months after the events of Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, and will put you in control of Ayumi Shinozaki, a young girl who must use a dark tome to resurrect her murdered friends. Given previous entries – and the embedded screenshots – we’re going to assume that not everything goes to plan.
There’s no word on a Western release date just yet, but seeing as both of the PlayStation Portable titles were localised by Xseed, we’re hopeful that this will ghost its predecessors and arrive overseas. Do you think that you can handle this latest tense tale? Try not to scream too loudly in the comments section below.

I hope this sees an overseas release as the first game had me petrified of everything. The new graphics can only make it even worse.
I hope this is coming West...
Xseed have already announce that they will be bring Corpse Party to the West but, they wait on Japanese release date.
I know it's a horror game, but as someone who likes good stories I can't stand how Corpse Party constantly has things happening "because horror" and really for no other reason. It's not that I have a problem with fiction, but when bad things are happening in Corpse Party you clearly understand "it's happening because it's a horror game" and not for any other reason, certainly not one the game explains to you. Your decisions don't really make a difference other than seeing different bad endings, as there is no good ending.
Corpse Party certainly is not unique in this writing technique for horror but I guess it's because I can't accept "horror" as an explanation for events that I've never been a fan of most horror genre media in general.
I like to watch yuriofwind's lets play of one of the older corpse party's, but I'm not that interested in playing it myself.
