This is my first review here and I dont write reviews often. I apologize if this is a weird mix of everything and not coherent. Wanted to get my thoughts out there. Corpse Party: Musume is a pretty odd entry in the Corpse Party series. Its a retelling of the original PC98 Corpse Party while having a few original elements and elements from Corpse Party: Blood Covered. For those whos only experience with Corpse Party is through its PSP release Blood Covered Musume will be a new experience for those people. Its not a bad retelling in fact now that Ive played through the PC98 game I think its pretty good but it does have some weird and questionable choices I dont agree with. If you havent played the PC98 game to give a short summary/explanation its story is different from Blood Covered but its cast is similar. Though you dont have all the characters from Blood Covered like Seiko Morishige Mayu and Ms. Yui. Because of its limitations and the engine it used the story isnt as indepth like it is in the manga or its newer release Blood Covered but for what it is and all the endings you can get Id say its one of the better PC98 games. The story starts off similar to Blood Covered. We have Satoshi Naomi Yuka Ayumi Yoshiki and a Musume exclusive character: Miyu Shinohara. They are all listening to Ayumi telling ghost stories after school until they are suddenly pulled into a different universe. Theres no charm or curse they are just randomly pulled in. From there thats when the story truly starts. The artist is the same one who did the art for the Book of Shadows manga and I think it looks really great and fits the setting somewhat. What I liked the most is that they used the designs of Blood Covered as a base instead of their original PC98 designs though Yoshiki is a weird mix of PC98 and BC but I do like it. Though since Im talking about the art now I want to get this out of the way: I dont like the unnecessary amount of fanservice. It gives a weird and jarring experience between the genuine good horror and a random panty shot or groping scenes. Aside from that It starts off weird and it doesnt really hook you until later on. Now the cast is trapped in this abandoned school and all split up. Naomi and Satoshi are with each other and are still getting their bearings. Shortly after Ayumi and Yoshiki find them and they meet up. But both parties agree its still a good idea to split up and find Miyu and Yuka since they are still missing. Then we get a perspective change to Miyu and Yuka and we have a nice moment to ease the tension. It feels nice and natural despite it not happening in the original like it fits right in. I dont want to spoil the rest but afterwards it really does follow somewhat closely to the PC98 og and even includes elements from the other endings and thankfully its not a weird mixmash. They arent adapting every ending of course but different scenes that flow well together to give the full story. Like I mentioned before Musume has some original content which includes more context about the school the main villain and how things got this way of course. It even includes a bit of fan content from its enhanced release Rebuilt which included a demo to a fangame prequel called Corpse Party Zero. BC players will probably be confused cause a lot of this doesnt happen there. After thinking on it now and playing the original before writing this review it really does a lot of good and enhances what is an already good story. I recommend giving Musume a read if youve already played the PC98 original. I read this before I played it a few years back and I didnt enjoy it too much. Its supplement material at the end of the day and shouldnt be a replacement. And if youve only played Blood Covered give the original PC98 game a go as well just to see how the series started.
