[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/corpse_party_cover.png]]

* GirlishPigtails: Ayumi Shinozaki. Seiko has hers in [[MegaTwintails curls]].

* ADayInTheLimelight:
** ''Book of Shadows'' includes chapters from [[spoiler:Suzumoto]] and [[spoiler:Morishige]]'s viewpoints, both of whom were OutOfFocus in ''Blood Covered''.
** ''Corpse Party Cemetery'' focuses on Naho and her paranormal investigations.

* AssholeVictim: Among others, [[spoiler:Principal Takamine in both versions as one of the major reasons behind Sachiko’s misery is forced into eternal torment, [[TheSociopath Kizami]] is turned into an anatomical model, and [[BigBadWannabe Misuto]] is [[OffWithHisHead beheaded]] by Magari]]. Taken UpToEleven in ''Another Child'', where the BigBad Saki ends up being ''more'' sympathetic than [[TheBully the people]] [[BullyHunter she kills]], to the point where [[RootingForTheEmpire it’s hard not to root for her]].

** The ''Tortured Souls'' OVA manages to be this in a series that was [[UpToEleven already incredibly bloody and gory to begin with]].

* HotterAndSexier: Despite the occasional PantyShot and breast fondling, none of the games, OVA and main manga got too far in the erotic department; ''Musume'' though brings the sexuality in with a vengeance, and mostly not in pleasant way, it is FanDisservice as a matter of fact, with [[spoiler:Naomi’s bare breasts being shown when she is being possessed by the Darkening, Miyu being anally raped to death by the Darkening, and a possessed Ayumi stabbing her privates with a pen]].

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Appears in the first chapter, with Seiko: "Where are we?! And where are our friends?! And Ms.Yui?"

* Naho Saenoki - A [[{{Meganekko}} bespectacled]] student from Paulowina Academy who doubles as a paranormal researcher, author, and [[HeroWorship Ayumi’s idol]].

* PantyShot: [[{{Fanservice}} Almost every (young) female character gets this]], be it in the games, the manga, the anime, or extra art. Victims are Naomi Nakashima, Ayumi Shinozaki, Mayu Suzumoto, Yuka Mochida, Sachiko Shinozaki, Naho Saenoki, Sayaka Ooue, Aiko Niwa, Mitsuki Yamamoto, Azusa Takai, Magari Mizuki, Miyu Shinohara, Akari Roen, Tamaki Minase, Erina Yuzuki, and Yuma Okita.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: The same "NOW LOADING" screen will appear for every scene transition in ''Blood Drive'', including opening the main menu and navigating to/from the various sub-menus. Even if it doesn't last more than a few seconds, expect to see it a lot.

* TookTheWifesName: The [[spoiler:Shinozaki]] family that maintained its spiritual power by marrying men willing to throw away their own family names for the sake of love. [[spoiler:All of the men died within a few years of their children being born, and all of them had daughters, with the notable exception of Ayumi and Hinoe's grandfather, who had a son (their father), but still died.]]

* HeirClubForMen: Inverted with the Shinozaki family. [[spoiler:The family head was female, and had three daughters, all of whom had daughters of their own. The family maintained its spiritual power by marrying men willing to [[TheMaidenNameDebate throw away their own family names for the sake of love]]. All of the men died within a few years of their children being born, and all of them had daughters, with the notable exception of Ayumi and Hinoe's grandfather, who had a son (their father), but still died.]]

** In ''Blood Covered'' and ''Book Of Shadows'', Yoshikazu Yanagihori, [[EvilTeacher once an elementary school teacher]], is the master of the AlternateDimension Heavenly Host Elementary School keeping everyone trapped inside, and is also the killer of [[WouldHurtAChild three of his students]] in an incident from Heavenly Host's past. [[spoiler:[[DiscOneFinalBoss Except Yoshikazu was framed for the crime]] by Sachiko the Girl in Red, who is the [[EnemyWithout incarnation of Sachiko Shinozaki’s hatred after being killed horribly]]]].

** [[spoiler:[[SchoolgirlLesbians Poor Seiko]], who confesses her love to Naomi shortly before being hanged by her (in a [[DemonicPossesion possessed]] state)]].

* SchoolgirlLesbian: Seiko Shinohara. [[spoiler:Too bad Naomi doesn't reciprocate her feelings.]] Invoked as EasterEgg: [[spoiler:In Chapter 4, when regaining control of Satoshi and Naomi, you find Seiko's mobile phone in front of the janitor's room. Instead of picking it up right away, return to the toilet where Seiko died to see a small event. After that, pick it up and go to the school infirmary to trigger a dream sequence where Naomi will rest on the bed. Seiko appears in her dream and tells her that she's sorry about their fight and wants to make up for it before she finally leaves this world. You then have the option to let Naomi grant Seiko her final wish: A kiss.]]

* [[VideoGame/CorpsePartyPC98 The original]] ''[[VideoGame/CorpsePartyPC98 Corpse Party]]'' was a UsefulNotes/PC98 game made with RPG Tsukuru Dante[=98=]. It was later adapted into a PC game released in chapters, titled ''Corpse Party: Blood Covered'', with a reworked plot and new characters. ''Blood Covered'' was later released on the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] and [[UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS 3DS]] as ''Corpse Party: Blood Covered ...Repeated Fear'', with new art, event [=CG=]s, and a different voice cast. This version was localized and released on the UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation Network}} by Creator/XSEEDGames on November 22, 2011.

** Each chapter of ''Blood Covered'' has a "True End" and a few "Wrong End"s. The use of "True End" rather than "Good End" should give you a hint about the overall tone.

** [[TheyWouldCutYouUp Being dissected alive.]]

* InfantImmortality: Considering that antagonists are ghosts of children and the brutal manner in which they were all murdered, it's definitely safe to say that this was [[AvertedTrope averted]].

* [[spoiler:DiscOneFinalBoss: In ''Blood Covered'' Yoshikazu turns out to be an unwilling accomplice to Sachiko, the supposed survivor. And in ''Blood Drive'' Misuto is killed off long before the finale, and Sachi follows suit.]]

** More obvious if you came from the PC-98 version [[spoiler:which had the yellow liquid bucket, but just had a single moment where Yuka had to go to the bathroom when they already know where one is, rather than the game-spanning issue in Blood Covered.]]

* SchoolSettingSimulation: The games' primary setting, Heavenly Host Elementary School, is a decrepit, haunted schoolhouse that exists within another realm of reality. It is inhabited by the violent, vengeful ghosts of the students that were slaughtered there, and traps all people, dead or alive, there for all eternity.

'''Warning'''- due to the [[SpoileredRotten nature of the plot]], it might be best to experience the full series before going any further.
