Once, where this school now stands, was an old schoolhouse... And on this very floor stood a very simple girl. The everyday, ordinary kind of girl. One day she had a little accident... She slipped, fell, and cracked open her head. The damage was extensive. Cerebral fluid and blood poured out. There was so much, her body almost floated in the pool that formed. Anyone could tell she was dead just from a glance. She calmly stood up and muttered... "More... more..." She then cackled maniacally... and vanished. Even now, in this new school... She wanders. On Dec 17th, 1992, a Japanese group called ASCII released a program titled RPG Tkool Dante 98 for the Japanese exclusive home system known as NEC PC-9801 which allowed people to develop their own role-playing games. They further promoted their tool by publishing a monthly magazine titled LOGIN Sofcom where amateur developers could submit their creations. On April 22nd, 1996, an adventure game called CORPSE-PARTY was published in the Spring 1996 edition of LOGIN Sofcom No.6. It was made by a 22-year-old college student by the name of Makoto Kedouin, who typically stylizes his surname as Kedwin. On Feb 26th, 1997, Kedwin won second place in the Second Annual ASCII ENTERTAINMENT competition, netting him 5 million yen [$61,675.00 USD].
An anonymous member of a Japanese message board took it upon himself to faithfully recreate the original PC-98 version of CORPSE-PARTY in RPG Tkool XP as CORPSE PARTY -Rebuilded-. Fast forward to April 22nd, 2012, an American group called "Memories of Fear" translated his RPG Tkool XP recreation of CORPSE PARTY and released it to the public as CORPSE PARTY -Rebuilt-. After 16 years, the English-speaking community can get a chance to experience the classic version of CORPSE-PARTY for the very first time. |
