All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.
Much like the sequel to Evil Dead, Corpse Party: Book of Shadows opens up to a very familiar scene. In fact, it’s basically the same start to the previous game. Unlike that second Evil Dead, the characters in this story are vaguely aware that they’ve been in this situation before, but not soon enough to seal their collective fates once again. Yep, it’s back to the cursed and deadly Heavenly Host Elementary school. If you're into Japanese culture, you'll notice a lot of plot devices involving déjà vu. This whole game feels like one massive case of déjà vu, and I’m just not feeling it this time around.

The big news is that after a mere twenty eight hours, the goal of $400,000 has already been exceeded and is still rising steadily.
The PC port will be available via Steam.
The PC version of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is official and it will include more than its console brethren. Michel Gagne and Joe Olson of Shadow Planet Productions revealed that it will include the cooperative "Shadow Hunters" downloadable content for free.
Despite the retail setbacks of the first game, Grasshopper wants another crack at it.
Last year’s Shadows of the Damned was well-known for two things. The Grasshopper Manufacture game was a dream collaboration of Suda 51 (No More Heroes), Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill), and Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil). It was also a colossal flop, selling a meager 24,000 copies in its first week on store shelves. Not a company to be held down by disappointing sales, it sounds like Grasshopper is eager to do another chapter in the life of Garcia F’ing Hotspur.
The industry's favorite business model is starting to collapse. It's time to change.
