* FranchiseKiller: ''Corpse Party: Blood Drive'' ''[[DamnedByFaintPraise technically]]'' [[DamnedByFaintPraise didn't kill the franchise]], but the fallout of that game was bad enough to have left the series in such a state of stagnation that it might as well be. Billed as the GrandFinale to the Heavenly Host saga fresh after the {{Anthology}} VisualNovel ''Book of Shadows'', ''Blood Drive'' it got utterly trashed critically and commercially, retroactively ruining the first game for many with the amount of [[TheReveal Reveals]] that paint the game in a worse light retroactively. While the original, ''much'' more highly-regarded ''Corpse Party'' still sees ports to this day, there hasn't been a new entry to the ''Corpse Party'' franchise that wasn't a milking of the first game in '''ten years'''; with the first chapter of ''VideoGame/CorpseParty2DeadPatient'' being released in 2013 and only seeing one port of the first chapter since then, it's not unreasonable to suggest the series would qualify as a FranchiseZombie hadn't the ports of the first game become literally the ''only'' thing still keeping the series alive.

Billed as the GrandFinale to the Heavenly Host saga fresh after the {{Anthology}} VisualNovel ''Book of Shadows'', ''Blood Drive'' took everything that made the first game great and the second one alright and splattered it across the wall at supersonic speed. Extremely long loading times, a borderline-nonsensical story that if anything is more akin to ''UrbanFantasy'' at this point than the J-horror that the franchise built itself on, some downright baffling [[{{Retcon}} Retcons]] such as [[StringyHairedGhostGirl Sachiko Shinozaki]] [[spoiler:having an EvilTwin [[RememberTheNewGuy that had no introducion to the series beforehand]]]], irritating gameplay coupled by much of the new cast being extremely unlikable, and while the old cast's characterization is thankfully in-tact, the entire game's plot ends up becoming an IdiotPlot [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot kicked off by the stupid actions]] of Ayumi. To add insult to injury, [[NeverTrustATrailer it doesn't even bring back all the characters that have died in the first game like marketing promised it would]], instead having [[spoiler:the RetGone effect of dying in Heavenly Host reversed at the cost of Ayumi becoming a vegetable and she and Yoshiki being Ret-Goned themselves in order to seal off Heavenly Host]]. All of this above has led to the game getting utterly trashed critically and commercially, retroactively ruining the first game for many with the amount of [[TheReveal Reveals]] that paint the game in a worse light retroactively.

* NoDubForYou: The North America releases keep the original Japanese voice acting, with no option for English voices. Creator/XSEEDGames said this is because of how difficult it would be to copy the special "3D" audio the series has if it was given a dub.

* AscendedFanon: ''VisualNovel/CorpsePartyZero'', a fanmade prequel for ''Blood Covered''. Makoto Kedouin loved it so much he incorporated the characters as corpse name tags you could find in ''Blood Drive''.

* NoExportForYou: ''2U''. Which makes ''Blood Drive'' more difficult to grasp for those who stuck to only the English releases. This is because ''Blood Drive'' makes references to ''2U'', most notably by giving the fates of the four Sugatani students, opening up the gym, and showing Sachiko's necklace.
** {{Averted}} as of April 10, 2019 (albeit only for the PC), 3 and a half years after ''Blood Drive'''s original English release.
