A 2011 FanSequel to the original ''VisualNovel/CorpseParty'' produced by the group AMISOGUMI, ''Corpse Party if...'' picks up after one of the bad endings of ''VideoGame/CorpsePartyPC98''. Specifically, it focuses on a world where Yoshiki Kishinuma ended up the SoleSurvivor following the events of Ending C. Now twenty-five years old, he's become a teacher at his old school, still haunted by his failures.
Unfortunately, when he recounts his tale to one of his students, the two of them are promptly pulled into the abandoned schoolhouse. Can Yoshiki escape once more and put his demons to rest, or will he finally be reunited with his old friends the hard way...?

* InterfaceScrew: When fleeing from [[spoiler:the anatomical model]], the screen keeps getting tinted different colors, with the controls getting mixed up each time.
* ItsAllMyFault:
** Yoshiki still feels this way about the deaths of all his friends, lamenting his inability to protect anyone.
** [[spoiler:Ayumi's spirit blames herself for growing so jealous of the new life Yoshiki was putting together that she tried killing him.]]
* ItWasADarkAndStormyNight: Just like the original, the game begins with a storm raging outside the school.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: A display katana's still sharp enough to [[spoiler:cleave right through the anatomical model's waist]].

* MalevolentArchitecture: A blue spirit explains that the grudges and hatred that fill the school constantly warp the school, and warns Yoshiki not to assume it's the same as before.
* [[spoiler:ManicPixieDreamGirl: Sayako had shades of this when she dragged Yoshiki out of his depression and into the kendo club.]]
* MultipleEndings: There's two:
** Bad End: [[spoiler:Yoshiki tells Akari to flee to Classroom 2-9 while he fights Sayako. Sadly, he loses the battle, and the malice pervading the school turns him into an evil spirit. Though Akari manages to make it to 2-9, Yoshiki's corrupted spirit tricks her into turning around and being consumed by the light.]]
** Good End: [[spoiler:With the support of all his friends' spirits, Yoshiki's able to defeat and free Sayako's spirit. The jealous-ridden red spirits try to turn him into one of them, but he takes his own life with the Demon-Slaying Sword first. Though the spirits try to tempt Akari into looking back, his spirit protects her, enabling her to escape safely.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: When Ayumi needed his help the most, Yoshiki [[DirtyCoward ran away]]...

* SayMyName: When finally confronting [[spoiler:Sayako]], Yoshiki repeats their name over and over until [[spoiler:she attacks]].
* SenselessSacrifice: As in the original game, [[spoiler:the sacrifices made by Sayako and Yoshiki]] are rendered moot in the Bad End when [[spoiler:Sayako kills Yoshiki, turning him into an evil spirit who then promptly causes Akari's death.]]
