Corpse Party releases Book of Shadows for Vita and PSP

It has been almost two weeks since the release of Corpse Party: Book of Shadows on the Vita and PSP. Corpse Party is a mystery tale in the way of traditional Japanese horror classics which joins a teacher and eight students who conjure a curse that places them in a constantly changing mirror of their school, Heavenly Host. The visual style is that of retro-styled 2D art, original Japanese voice work, and over two dozen possible endings in this story driven horror game.

While the gameplay style was not to my liking as it was more of an interactive graphic novel and the story takes advantage of the Nature rating. While the writing while I was able to play it seemed interesting, awkward, and over the top, it was the amount of reading to the lack of interactivity that didn’t keep my interest. As the gameplay style is that of searching environments for clues to uncover the mystery before it is too late.

Book of Shadows is available now for download on the PlayStation Network for $19.99.
