Corpse Party: Tortured Souls

Nine classmates stay late at Kisaragi Academy to say goodbye to a friend and, like many students, take part in a bonding ritual using small paper doll charms meant to keep them connected. The harmless gesture goes terribly wrong when the charms prove linked to Heavenly Host Academy—an elementary school long ago erased by a string of brutal murders, buried beneath the very ground their school stands on.

Pulled into a warped, isolated realm haunted by the grudges of the dead, the students are forced to rely on one another to find a way out before they’re claimed by the same fate. *Corpse Party: Tortured Souls* pairs mystery with relentless gore, circling themes of sacrifice and the inescapable weight of the past.
