He gets a minor role in episode three and that’s the end of his role in this game entirely. Satoshi, by the way, never gets his own story in this game. Instead, he just flips and resigns himself to doing the ritual so he can at least help try to do something in Heavenly Host. He explains that they’re in a time loop, but doesn’t actually convey any important information or try to destroy the paper doll or anything. He panics and says it’s a horrible idea because, somehow, Satoshi is the only one who has memories of Heavenly Host right now. The one difference is that Satoshi starts freaking out when Ayumi brings up the Sachiko Ever After ritual. Then, when they get to school the following day, the events of the first game start to transpire. Naomi notices a strange bruise forming on Seiko’s neck, but they don’t think much of it. They enjoyed their first ever sleepover together and bonded more. Much of the story shows what happened with Naomi and Seiko before the events of the first game. How do you build a story out of this type of ending? They are damned to suffer the events of Heavenly Host over and over for all eternity. The Wrong End that they’re basing this game off of involves several of the characters surviving the events of Heavenly Host and leaving, but, tragically, they find themselves caught in a time loop. The real story is about the time loop the characters are currently in. However, that’s just a blip at the beginning. Naomi did suffer from a breakdown due to the events of the first game and is desperately trying to cope with the fact that her best friend and love interest, Seiko, is not only dead, but her existence was wiped from the world. The first episode does pickup where the opening cutscene left off, kinda. It’s just a lot of different stories bundled together. No episode intersects with another nor is there any cohesion in creating an overall plot. It’s basically a longer version of what we got at the end of Tortured Souls.Įach episode covers a different story. And that’s strange because the cutscene that plays each time you load the game is directly following the events of the first game (in one of the Wrong Ends – 6*8, which leads the Kisaragi students through a time loop of the events of Heavenly Host.) Naomi is near catatonic, and her mother is distraught because she keeps talking about her ‘imaginary’ friend, Seiko, when Seiko’s existence was wiped from the earth after dying in Heavenly Host. The game isn’t really a sequel so much as it is a pre-mid-sequel. So I played through the whole thing and I’m uhm….Kinda…confused. A good place to start from there appeared to be Corpse Party: Book of Shadows since that was a direct sequel to the original game (though, again, remade again). Recently, I reviewed the anime Corpse Party: Tortured Souls for Animating Halloween, and it got me wanting to play some of the other Corpse Party games since I really hadn’t played any of them besides the first game and basically a retooled version of the first game…again. Note: I am not a video game reviewer, so forgive my terrible format and analysis as a game.
