Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko's Hysteric Birthday Bash Critic Reviews

An interesting divergence from the usual gory terror of the Corpse Party franchise. It's also a gargantuan crossover event that might leave players feeling lost or confused if they aren't caught up on every piece of Corpse Party media so far. Still, despite the somewhat daunting amount of catching up you'd have to do if you wanted to be totally in the loop, the latest Corpse Party is a wacky and absurd treat that any visual novel fan is sure to get a kick out of.

Die-hards may love these new stories with their beloved cast, but anyone else may find Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash’s story lacking and weak.

A darkly humorous and entertaining addition to the series, with a charming assortment of unique characters and a host of interesting choices that doesn’t always translate well into the visual novel format. Fans of the series will enjoy seeing their favorite characters in outlandish scenarios, but the lack of any lasting consequences ultimately detracts from the title’s overall impact.
