Music Monday: It’s My Party and I’ll Die If I Want To

A few months ago, XSEED games announced that they were porting a download-only horror game for the PSP entitled Corpse Party (a port of the originally-titled Corpse Party: Blood-Covered for the PC). It came out last month, and I simply can’t put it down, so I thought I’d share it with my dear readers.

The game revolves around a group of students who, while telling ghost stories in their school one night, find themselves trapped in the building after a strange earthquake. When the dust settles, the students quickly find that they’ve actually been transported to a different version of their school, one populated by the vengeful ghosts of students who had been murdered in the past.

The set-up may sound silly, but the game is anything but. It’s bloody. It’s gruesome. It can screw with your mind if you’re not careful, and composer Mao Hamamoto’s (remastered) music certainly helps pave the way, drawing you in with both its quiet and frantic moments.
