Another FanSequel to the ''VisualNovel/CorpseParty'' series, ''Corpse Party: Cross Fear'' by AMISOGUMI serves as both a {{Sequel}} to ''VisualNovel/CorpsePartyZero'' and a {{Prequel}} to their previous work, ''VisualNovel/CorpsePartyIf''.
Five years after the A Ending of ''Corpse Party Zero'', Kaori Hasegawa still grapples with the tragic loss of her sister. Her claims that her sister was murdered by evil spirits have only landed her in a psychatric hospital, where her only friend is a young boy who was abused by his parents. To make matters worse, her doctor is a ManipulativeBastard who puts on a good face for the world while abusing and terrifying his patients behind closed doors. Pushed to the breaking point, Kaori soon finds herself transported back to the cursed school once more...
A [[http://www.memoriesoffear.com/games_corpsepartycrossfear/index.html translation of the game]] was released by Memories of Fear in October 2013.

!!This Fan Game contains instances of:
* AbusiveParents: Seita Kanemoto was abused heavily by his own parents.
* AdultsAreUseless: Dr. Amagasaki, the oldest of the four who get sucked into the cursed school this time, is an utterly useless {{Jerkass}}.
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: As in ''VideoGame/CorpsePartyPC98'', our heroes are split into two groups that the player must switch back and forth between.
* AttemptedRape: Dr. Amagasaki's threats are only thwarted when Kaori deliberately tells the story that will transport them to the cursed schoolhouse.
* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: Kaori still has this, now towards Seita as well.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Satoshi]]'s timely intervention helps avoid one Bad End.

* CassandraTruth: Nobody believes Kaori's story about what happened to her little sister.
* CatapultNightmare: When Kaori dreams about finding Shiho in the cursed schoolhouse, only to find [[spoiler:she's missing her face]].
* ChainedByFashion: Due to how she's lashed out at the hospital staff, Kaori has been forced to wear manacles connected by a chain.
* {{Character Portrait}}s: Though most lines are simply accompanied by the speaker's name, portraits sometimes appear during certain exchanges. The player gets their first chance to see this when given a chance to view everybody's bios before the main game begins.
* ContinuityNod: The game is filled with nods to what happens in the related routes of ''Corpse Party PC 98'' and ''Zero''.
* DontLookBack: No matter what, don't look back while you're in the corridor of light.

* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:The postliminary demon]]. Like the PC-98 game and ''If'', this is the only battle in the game.
* ForegoneConclusion: Since ''Corpse Party If'' came out before this, players familiar with that already know [[spoiler:why Sayako is in the school, and what will happen to her]].
* GoAmongMadPeople: Getting stuck in an asylum, with the truth about what happened to her sister repeatedly ignored or used as 'proof' that she's unwell, has hardened Kaori considerably.
* ImprovisedWeapon:
** Sayako uses [[spoiler:the Iron Lever]] like this.
** During the climax, [[spoiler:Kaori manufactures a bow in the Art Room before taking on the postliminary demon]].
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: PlayedWith. Like all others who have died there, [[spoiler:Satoshi]] is affected by the school's corruptive influence that drives them to envy the living. However, they state that they "could never truly hate anyone," and have chosen to avoid a full FaceHeelTurn by refusing to get involved with any new victims drawn into the school.
* InfantImmortality: {{Averted}}; the twelve-year old Seita can suffer just as horrible deaths as anyone else in the Bad Ends.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Dr. Amagasaki.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Kaori tells the story she knows draws others to the cursed school in order to escape Dr. Amagasaki and [[TakingYouWithMe drag him along]]. Unfortunately, Seita wanders in at just the wrong time...
