Line #5 Trivia/CorpseParty


1	* AscendedFanon: ''VideoGame/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''.
2	* BannedInChina: The franchise is not allowed to be sold in China due to the brutal content.
3	* 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 have been. Billed as the GrandFinale to the Heavenly Host saga fresh after the {{Anthology}} VisualNovel ''Book of Shadows'', ''Blood Drive'' was utterly trashed critically and commercially, retroactively ruining the first game for many with the amount of [[FanDislikedExplanation Fan-Disliked Explanations]] that paint the game in a worse light in hindsight. While the original, ''much'' more highly-regarded ''Corpse Party'' and even the [[ContestedSequel divisive, but still liked]] ''Book of Shadows'' still has its fandoms, the backlash to ''Blood Drive'' saw any potentially new installments to the franchise be driven to a screeching halt for the foreseeable future. The original ''Corpse Party'' may still get ports to this day, but there hasn't been a new entry to the ''Corpse Party'' franchise that wasn't a milking of the first game in almost '''ten years'''; with the first chapter of ''VideoGame/CorpseParty2DeadPatient'' being released in 2013 and only seeing one polished-up port of the first chapter since then. As a result, 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 relevant and alive.
4	* 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" / binaural audio the series has if it was given a dub.
5	* LateExportForYou: ''2U'' wasn't released until April 10, 2019 (and only for the PC), three and a half years after ''Blood Drive''[='s=] original English release. This made ''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.
6	* ScheduleSlip: The 3DS version of the game was originally planned for release on August 30th, 2016 in the US. It ended up being released October 25th. However, the physical LE was still called the "Back to School edition", despite school in the states starting in August to early September.
7	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Satsuki was planned to be the protagonist of an official sequel to the original Corpse Party. It was ultimately canned, though it does live on through a [[VideoGame/CorpseParty2SatsukisHeart fan remake.]]
