Line 29:
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: ''Book of Shadows'' includes chapters from {{spoiler|Suzumoto}} and {{spoiler|Morishige}}'s viewpoints, both of whom were [[Out of Focus]] in ''Blood Covered''.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Satomi Arai]] voices Seiko Shinohara, a [[Genki Girl|cheerful]] and [[Covert Pervert|perverted]] [[Schoolgirl Lesbian]] who has a crush on her best friend Naomi Nakashima who is voiced by [[Rina Satou]], similar to ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]''.
** [[Onee-Sama|ONEE-SAMA!!!]]
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: ''Corpse Party: Blood Covered'' significantly reworked the story from the original version, with more characters and a more complex plot.
* [[Arbitrary Headcount Limit]]: In the PC-98 game, you can only bring three of the five survivors to the [[Final Boss]].
Line 41:
* [[Another Dimension]]: The Tenjin Elementary they find themselves in is described as an alternate dimension created by spirits to ensnare living beings.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]:
** To put it bluntly, {{spoiler|There were originally five characters in the PC-98 version. Everyone has the possibility of dying. However, anyone else added to the later adaptations that are trapped ''will'' die no matter what.}}
* [[Apocalyptic Log]]
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: In the manga, {{spoiler|Satoshi, Yoshiki, Naomi and Ayumi show up just in time to save Yuka from Kizami. Especially impressive in that we're initially led to think they'd walked by the Science Room without realizing Yuka was in there. Earlier, Kurosaki (who we initially think is dead when Yuka finds him) prevents Kizami from killing Yuka by revealing himself to be alive and punching him. Unfortunately, this leads to Kurosaki's real death.}}
Line 57:
* [[Creepy Child]]: The giggling ghosts.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: In a very literal sense, the entire haunted school is one giant black hole made of despair, sucking in people who, when they die, become a part of the problem (usually by becoming a vengeful and/or pain-filled ghost). Most people caught in the school crack and go completely nuts if they aren't killed either by the ghosts or one another.
* {{spoiler|[[Downer Ending]]: Even in the True Ending only Satoshi, Naomi, Ayumi, Yoshiki and Yuka survive. Yep, about half of the main cast consists of [[Doomed Protagonist|Doomed Protagonists]] and can't be saved by any means whatsoever. And don't get started with all the secondary characters that die or have died. Oh, and it's still possible for others to fuck up the ritual and get thrown into the Nightmare School Dimension even if Sachiko passes on. Not to mention that the friends they lost will not only relive their deaths in eternal suffering, but they [[Ret-Gone|also are completely forgotten by the world at large except their friends who survived]]. Quite possibly one of the harshest, most horrifying afterlives anyone could exist in, to be sure. And in the sequel... well, the protagonists only manage to [[It Got Worse|mess things even more.]]}}
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Not for any of the characters, but in the English release, the dreaded school is called "Heavenly Host Elementary."
** Anyone who's read the New Testament will never take the name so peacefully ever again.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: While the basic plot of the original PC-98 game was the same, there were originally only five students: Satoshi, Yuka, Naomi, Yoshiki, and Ayumi. The whole cast had black hair and eyes, although each had certain traits already in place (like Yoshiki's [[Face of a Thug|face]] and Ayumi's [[Girlish Pigtails|hairstyle]]). Instead of being separated during the transfer, they ended up all in the same place, and only wound up dividing into two groups accidentally. Satoshi's status as the Main Character made more sense, as he was leader of the main party. There were plenty of spirits, but only one major threat, a single [[Stringy
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]: One of the reasons the horror and setting in the game are especially effective. There are ghosts everywhere, both core vengeful spirits and hundreds of hapless victims out to get you in hideous ways. The school itself is a [[Genius Loci]] re-arranging itself or creating traps to both directly and/or indirectly get you murdered. The Curse is always working on you and can and WILL kill you just for giving in to the despairing nature of the place and situation, or worse, causing darkening. Or making you kill yourself. The other living people there often snap and try to kill you, even before falling to the curse. And even your basic Human nature will kill you terribly without food, water, or any other amenities. And all that's if you don't kill yourself.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Accidentally run into the ghost {{spoiler|who lacks one of her eyes}}? Have fun watching your characters getting paralyzed {{spoiler|and stabbed into their eye sockets with a scissor while listening to their screams.}} Okay, you don't actually '''see''' what is going on, [[Hell Is That Noise|but you]] '''[[Hell Is That Noise|hear]]''' [[Hell Is That Noise|it]], which makes the whole incident even ''worse''. The text describing the event doesn't help, either.
Line 72:
* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]]: {{spoiler|Sakutarou when he realizes that the corpse picture which fascinates him the most is of Mayu.}}
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Getting the True End for later chapters can be difficult at times.
** Hell, most of the game is this, due to being kind of a [[Hidden Object Game]] and screwing with your sense of logic on what to do. Here's a [http://www.gamefaqs.com/psp/989995-corpse-party/faqs/63426 spoiler free guide] if you ever get too stuck.
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: The dialogue boxes are ''very'' detailed when somebody dies...
* [[Hidden Object Game]]
Line 101:
** [[Tomokazu Sugita]] as Yuuya Kizami and Shimoda
** [[Yuka Nanri]] as Mayu Suzumoto
** [[Ikue Ohtani]] as Sachiko Shinozaki. (Yeah, they got Pikachu's voice actor play her. Wrap your head around that.)
** [[Tsubasa Yonaga]] as Kensuke Kurosaki
** [[Nobuhiko Okamoto]] as Tsukasa Mikuni
Line 131:
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: The opening shows CGs and characters that are HUGE parts of the story.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]
* [[Stringy
* [[Stupidity Is the Only Option]]: You have to ignore several warnings throughout the game in order to get the True Endings.
* [[There Is Another]]: {{spoiler|The students of 2-9 aren't the only ones ''currently'' wandering through Tenjin...}}
Line 150:
** Chapter 3: {{spoiler|Satoshi is separated from Yuka and Naho appears to tell him that they were brought to Heavenly Host because they did the charm wrong.}}
** Chapter 4: {{spoiler|Ayumi and Yoshiki get Yuki's tongue back, and are teleported back to the classroom. Yuki then appears and Ayumi asks Yuki to show her what really happened on the day of her murder. Through an [[Exposition Beam]], we learn through Yuki's eyes that she was actually murdered by Sachiko(the fourth supposed surviving child), and not Yoshikazu (the supposed killer. All while Sachiko stabs out Yuki's eye.}}
** Chapter 5: {{spoiler|Satoshi, Naomi, Yoshiki, Yuka, and Naomi escape, but they later learn the next day that those who died had their existences erased and that the five are the only ones who remember them.}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: When Ayumi and Yoshiki {{spoiler|are returned to the classroom by Yuki Kanno, Ayumi asks to return to save the others. In a certain Wrong End, Yoshiki protests this}}. Ayumi calls him out, {{spoiler|saying that he doesn't care whether their friends die}}. Yoshiki in turn calls ''her'' out, {{spoiler|accusing her of only caring about Satoshi}}. It ends with a {{spoiler|love confession on Yoshiki's part}}.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Yoshiki.
