The Corpse Party: Tetralogy Pack Brings Four Horror Visual Novels To Switch

XSEED Games has announced that Corpse Party: Tetralogy Pack is coming to Switch consoles in the US on October 28. The Corpse Party: Tetralogy Pack collects the four visual novels in the Heavenly Host saga–which includes Corpse Party, Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash, and Corpse Party: Blood Drive. It also marks the first time Corpse Party: Book of Shadows and Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash will be playable on Switch. All four games in the collection are presented with their original Japanese voiceover and English subtitles and are enhanced with high-definition graphics and audio. Preorders are available now for $50 exclusively at Amazon. The Corpse Party series rarely gets physical releases, so we’re expecting the collection to sell out quickly.

$50 | Releases October 28

The Corpse Party: Tetralogy Pack includes all four remastered visual novels in the collection on a physical Nintendo Switch card. Once again, the four games included are:

Corpse Party (2021)
Corpse Party: Book of Shadows (2011)
Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash (2012)
Corpse Party: Blood Drive (2014)

Like other Switch releases, the physical edition will also be playable on Nintendo Switch. Physical copies for this collection are available exclusively at Amazon. Digital preorders are also available.

For those unfamiliar, Corpse Party is a series of supernatural horror visual novels with branching outcomes, multiple endings, and plenty of scares and gruesome murders. The first game, Corpse Party, tells the story of a friendship ritual gone horrifically awry after it transports high school student Ayumi Shinozaki and her friends to an alternate reality. Exploring the Heavenly Host Elementary institution, the group has to risk their sanity and safety to uncover the truth behind bone-chilling murders that occurred at the location, if they ever want to return home again. The version included in the collection is the 2021 version of the game that was released for PC, which itself is actually the third remake of Corpse Party originally released for the PS Vita in 2010.

The next game, Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, is an ambitious anthology series released in 2011 that served as a sequel, prequel, midquel, and an alternate universe tale, all in one package. It builds on the events of the first game, offering players new perspectives on several of the original game’s most critical events.

2012’s Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash is billed as a midquel set that takes place during the events of Corpse Party and Corpse Party: Book of Shadows. It tells the story of the ghost of Sachiko Shinozaki’s murderous birthday party at Heavenly Host Elementary.

Finally, Corpse Party: Blood Drive was released in 2014 and is set two months after Book of Shadows. Designed to be the ultimate conclusion to the Heavenly Host story arc, the story revolves around black magic, the end of the world, and a mission to resurrect fallen friends.

While Corpse Party: Blood Drive was the final game in the Heavenly Host story arc, it’s not the end of the franchise. A spiritual sequel, Corpse Party 2: Darkness Distortion, is set to launch in Jun 2026–giving you enough time to catch up on the previous four games with the new collection. Darkness Distortion will once again be a visual novel, this time following three high school friends as they explore the Amare Est Vivere Hospital to see if a local urban legend is true. Fans can preorder physical Switch and PS5 editions of the game for $50, or preorder the$80 Ayame Mercy Limited Edition that includes a reversible cover for the box, a 64-page art book, an art card, an “evidence kit” containing items from the game, and a “candlelight” housing a blue LED, all wrapped up inside of an Amare Est Vivre Medical Kit metal outer case.
