* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness:
** Ayumi's plan to resurrect their fallen friends is conceived immediately after their return, and carried out that very same night, with a spell book that isn't even fully translated. This goes about as well as you'd expect.
** Later, when Ayumi manages to [[HesBack find her resolve again]], she refuses to heed any signs that her plan might not go as planned.
* ActionPrologue: ''D2'' opens with Ayumi and Satoshi attempting to bring their lost friends back from the dead.

* RedemptionDemotion: This is justified with [[spoiler:Sachiko: not only is she no longer bound to the cursed school, but the form she takes was meant to be a temporary body]]. As a result, they're ''MUCH'' more vulnerable, and barely able to defend themselves should the need arise.

Notably, while based off of the original version of the game, ''D2'' brings in several of the additional classmates introduced in ''Blood Covered''. It also more closely follows the graphical style of those games, with similar sprite work, larger {{Character Portrait}}s, and event CGs.

A 2013 FanSequel to the original ''VisualNovel/CorpseParty'', designed by Jackkel Dragon and illustrated by Katagayri. Like its fellow fan game ''VisualNovel/CorpsePartyIf'', ''Corpse Party D2: Depths of Despair'' expands upon one of the MultipleEndings to ''VideoGame/CorpsePartyPC98''. Specifically, Ending D-2, where Yoshiki and Yuka were killed in Heavenly Host. Unable to accept this, Ayumi convinced Satoshi that they should try to change their friends' fate...

Six years later, Ayumi is invited to join several of her old classmates at a reunion held in their old classroom. But the past comes roaring back to haunt them, as Ayumi once more finds herself stranded in the cursed halls of Heavenly Host.

!!This Fan Game contains instances of:

* [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fangirl]]: Ayumi's become an illustrator, and was recently commissioned to work on the cover for Naho and Kibiki's next book.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: A {{Flashback}} in Chapter 2 shows how [[spoiler:Ayumi and Yoshiki first met, she distracted a {{Jerkass}} teacher and gave Yoshiki a pep talk, encouraging him to stay in school despite his struggles]].
* BlackComedy: Many of the notices pinned up around Heavenly Host have this flavor.
* BlackMagic: Ayumi hoped to use this to bring back their dead friends...
* BigBrotherInstinct: Ayumi played upon this to get Satoshi to agree to attempting the ritual.
* BloodyHandprint: Seen on the Wrong End screen.
* BloodyMurder: The burning blood found in [[spoiler:the shower]].
* BroadStrokes: While based off of ''VideoGame/CorpsePartyPC98'', the other classmates introduced in ''Blood Covered'' appear. [[spoiler:Satoshi's fate]] also won't surprise players familiar with ''Book of Shadows''...
* BrokenBird: Poor Ayumi...
* TheCanKickedHim: The tradition continues; one of the first Wrong Ends involves [[spoiler:taking a deadly shower]].
* ColorCodedCharacters:
** Blue spirits are helpful, while red spirits... aren't.
** Ms. Yui and the Kisaragi students who weren't involved in the first trip all wear brighter, more cheerful outfits. Ayumi, by contrast, wears a dark black top and brown jacket, with only a scruchie for color. Naomi, who seems to have coped better with what happened while still being affected, has a beige sweater on, that paired with her brown hair and eyes gives her a comparatively muted look.
* CoolKey: Very few of the doors in Heavenly Host actually use traditional keys; instead, Ayumi must find other items based off of hints left by helpful notices.
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: The first time she examines a corpse, Ayumi comments on this:
-->'''Ayumi:''' I hardly feel anything when I see corpses now... I used to be so afraid of them... What has this place done to me?
* CannotSpitItOut:
** Yoshiki couldn't tell Ayumi how he felt, with tragic consequences.
** [[spoiler:Sachiko]] can't seem to just tell Ayumi what she needs to hear; however, they state that this is because [[spoiler:Ayumi isn't ready/willing to listen]].
* TheCorruption: Being trapped in Heavenly Host isn't especially kind to your sanity. Spirits are especially vulnerable to this effect, growing so jealous and spiteful towards the living that they'll eagerly try to condemn them to the same hellish fate.
* CreepyShadowedUnderEyes: Those six years haven't treated Ayumi too well...
* TheEmpath: Her sensitivity to spirits means that Ayumi can sense the negative emotions filling the cursed school all too well, to the point where she can sense what type of pain or agony is emenating from an area.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou
* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:Ayumi and Satoshi found this out the hard way.]]
* HairDecs:
** Mayu still wears a pink ribbon in her hair, while Ayumi's switched out her GirlishPigtails for a single ponytail held back by a simple scrunchie.
** [[spoiler:Yuka's corrupted spirit appears without her headband; Ayumi finds it later.]]
* IronicEcho: In Chapter 2, Ayumi comments to [[spoiler:Yoshiki in a memory]] that they never seem to think before they talk. Later, [[spoiler:Corrupted!Yoshiki turns that back around on her]].
* [[TheManyDeathsOfYou The Many Deaths of Ayumi]]
* MonochromePast: Whenever Ayumi flashes back to past events, the screen takes on a reddish-sepia hue.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Ayumi doesn't take [[spoiler:Yoshiki's big reveal in Chapter 2]] well at ALL.
* MythologyGag: Several of the posted notices contain references to ways you can die in the canon games.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Ayumi's attempt to save Yoshiki and Yuka only left her even more broken and [[spoiler:Satoshi with a bad case of dead]].
** Chapter 2 reveals that [[spoiler:it's far worse than that. Her ritual DID bring them back; unfortunately, since Satoshi died during it and wasn't the caster, they were trapped in her head and spent the next six years giving her nightmares. Coming back to someplace like Heavenly Host set them free again...]].
* ObliviousToLove: In Chapter 2, [[spoiler:Ayumi gets to watch Yoshiki's heart breaking in slow motion by reliving his memories of trying -- and failing -- to get her attention]].
* PoorCommunicationKills:
** [[spoiler:Sachiko appears to honestly want to ''help'' Ayumi; unfortunately, Ayumi tends to be rather bull-headed whenever she pops up, and Sachiko even points out that she 'isn't ready to listen yet'.]]
** In Chapter 2, [[spoiler:witnessing Yoshiki's memories gives Ayumi the resolve to try and free both him and Yuka from the school]]. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:he mistakes this for trying to 'get rid of him for good']].
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** [[spoiler:Evil!Yuka]] gives Ayumi a blistering one after revealing their identity, calling her out for [[spoiler:letting her brother die]].
** Seen in {{Flashback}} in Chapter 2, when [[spoiler:a teacher catches Yoshiki smoking and takes the chance to insult not only him, but the way his parents raised him]].
* SacrificialLamb: Referenced; one door requires you to "Honor the memory of the sacrifical lamb" by [[spoiler:finding Kishimura's student ID]].
* ScrewDestiny: Ayumi declared this six years ago, and enlisted Satoshi's help to try and save their friends. [[YouCantFightFate It went poorly]].
* SoundtrackDissonance: In Chapter 2, a cheerful, upbeat melody plays while Ayumi [[spoiler:watches painful memories of her first visit get reenacted in a shadow play]].
* StepfordSmiler: While Naomi appears to have dealt with the losses better than Ayumi, she states that her primary coping method is to just avoid thinking about it and throw herself into her work as a nurse.
* StrippedToTheBone: [[spoiler:Poor Satoshi]]'s fate.
* SurvivorGuilt: Ayumi struggles with this, not simply because she managed to escape while the others didn't, but due to how [[spoiler:both Yoshiki and Satoshi sacrificed themselves to save her]].
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:When the ritual went awry, Satoshi shoved Ayumi out of the summoning circle and wound up dying in her place.]]
* TermsOfEndangerment: [[spoiler:Evil!Yuka]] playfully calls Ayumi 'Ayumy'.
