Corpse Party/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Considering it's a game about murder, it's little wonder that Corpse Party has some moments that just make you cry.


  • Seiko's death. Seeing Naomi try in vain to save her best friend is heart wrenching.
  • Yuka's Heroic Sacrifice in one of the Extra Ends. She confesses her love to Satoshi and begs him to tell her he loves her, even if it's a lie. She dies in her big brother's arms as Yoshiki and Ayumi curse their inability to do anything.
  • Yui's Heroic Sacrifice in the Good Ending. She manages to hold on to the ledge (despite her terrible injuries!) with Ayumi clinging to her legs. When Ayumi is pulled up, she demands that they hurry and run, and tells them to live. Yui-sensei is awesome.
  • One Wrong End sees Satoshi crossing the Despair Event Horizon after discovering Yuka's body. This turns into Heroic Sacrifice as he gives Naomi his paper doll scrap -- one that's rendered meaningless when Ayumi kills her for it.
  • Yuki Kanno (one of the murdered children) is a not a happy figure. She had a fight with her mother one morning and didn't want to go home after school. She ended up telling all of this to her teacher, Yoshikazu Yanagihori, who ended up kidnapping her on Sachiko's orders. This led to her being horrifically murdered. It's hard enough to imagine being a child going through that, but imagine what it was like for her mother, who didn't know that a little argument with her daughter would be the last time she spoke to her.
  • Book of Shadows has a major one when Naomi discovers Seiko's corpse. Sachiko appears and taunts her, claiming that anyone who's died there before will die again and again, no matter what. And each death will be worse than the last, meaning that Naomi's attempt to save Seiko just means she suffered even more. This sends her into a major Heroic BSOD, screaming for someone to save her...
