As you try to find your way out of Heavenly Host Elementary, you won't only find bodies of children (!) everywhere, you'll find mysterious buckets of congealed mystery substances, bloody scissors, and scratchy notes about the inevitability of killing your friends. Those familiar elements are then dropped into an inescapable nightmare dimension where small groups of people occupy the same space but can't see each other (and thus can't find each other), where doors don't work and windows are often blocked by thick walls of human hair, and where evidence of horrific murders is absolutely everywhere. It also relies on mostly stereotypical characters, of the "anime" variety - like the inappropriately upbeat "genki girl" and the aloof cool guy. Team GrisGris's Corpse Party began its miserable life as a fan-made RPG Maker project, and while it's been updated since then, it retains the look of a 16-bit RPG (and the gameplay of an adventure game). It may look cutesy and SNES-like, but the cognitive dissonance between that presentation and what is happening only serves to amplify the profound wrongness of every single moment of this game. ![]() Technically, Corpse Party is a full-sized PSP game that just happens to be PSN-only, but it is a downloadable portable game, so I'm using this column as a convenient venue to talk about it. ![]() In each installment, we'll tell you about a downloadable game on the iPhone, iPad, Android device, DSi, 3DS, PSP, etc. Did you know that you can download handheld games now? That's amazingly convenient! The only inconvenient part of it is finding the right games to buy - and that's where we come in, with our Portabliss column.
