The game is a less linear than Digital Pictures' traditional output, allowed you to access a map as well as choose how and when to tackle the available missions. But in the end, it's still a FullMotionVideo game, which limits the actual gameplay to ShootingGallery segments, albeit with actual light gun support if you so chose.

''Corpse Killer'' is a 1995 CD-ROM game produced by Creator/DigitalPictures for various platforms and eventually given a remastered edition for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 and UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}.
Dr. Hellman (Creator/VincentSchiavelli), from the safety of his tropical island, has created an elixir which can raise the dead, and he plans to use it to amass an army of zombies to threaten the world. Players control a nameless Marine who air-drops with some other soldiers in a covert operation to take him out, but the player-character is bitten by a zombie and his comrades are all MIA shortly afterwards. Saved by a Rastafarian named Winston, the pair then save a freelance journalist named Julie who is GoingForTheBigScoop and offers information on Hellman in exchange for being escorted on personal errands. Winston, similarly, offers to help the Marine with his mission if he will provide support in Winston's treasure hunting so that he can upgrade from a [[ProductPlacement Jeep to a Hummer]], as well as using local datura plants to provide an antidote for the Marine's necrotizing condition.
The game is a less linear than Digital Pictures' traditional output, allowed you to access a map as well as choose how and when to tackle the available missions. But in the end, it's still a FullMotionVideo game, which limits the actual gameplay to ShootingGallery segments, albeit with actual light gun support if you so chose.

!!This game provides examples of:
* BottomlessMagazines: Played straight and subverted. The Marine's gun can fire off endless streams of normal bullets, but there's two more varieties which ''are'' limited -- armor-piercing rounds and [[DepletedPhlebotinumShells Datura bullets]] (and [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Datura armor-piercing rounds]]).
* EliteMooks: Comes in a few varieties. There are [[DarkIsEvil Shadowmen]] that turn from pitch black to pure white and back again[[note]]If you hit them when they're all white, they act like a SmartBomb; any other time, and you take damage instead[[/note]], and there are special masked zombies called Black Magic Strawmen and Reapers, which can only be put down with armor-piercing rounds or better.
* FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler:Hellman converts the Marine's comrades into super zombies that must be stopped in boss fights. They're immune to normal bullets.]]
* FirstPersonGhost: We never see what the Marine looks like, and they're a HeroicMime to boot.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: [[spoiler:The other Marines all sport glowing eyes once Hellman has turned them into super zombies.]]
* GovernmentConspiracy: Hellman had the Pentagon's support with his ideas for creating a limitless supply of ground troops, until he took it ''just'' a bit too far...
* HealingHerb: Datura counteracts the zombies, whether it's to restore your health with a beverage known as "Breath" or to put down the stronger zombies by coating your bullets in its essence.
* HollywoodVoodoo: Winston uses bones to tell people's fortunes.
* HomeBase: Winston brings you to the Graveyard between missions, and it's where you retreat to if you abort a mission in progress.
* InGameTV: Occasionally the Marine watches "Hellman TV", transmissions straight from the doctor, on a portable screen.
* LargeHam: Winston loves to chew the scenery. Hellman is pretty subdued by comparison, but he still [[EvilIsHammy has his moments]].
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Winston and Julie bicker whenever they share a scene.
* MookThemedLevel: Each area is home to a specific "brand" of zombie. Hellman's fortress has ones dressed like prisoners that movie extremely fast, the swamp has hippie-dressed ones that are slower, and so on.
* NintendoHard: Between the game throwing ''so'' many zombies at you and the need to collect the right kinds of ammo to defeat the otherwise-invincible elite zombies, it becomes very easy to die, or to get stuck in a loop of farming Datura for bullets and Breath such that you make no actual progress.
* NotQuiteFlight: Oddly, some zombies seem to fly straight at you, but the arcs suggest they could just be massive leaps, too.
* PirateBooty: Winston is on the hunt for this to fund his Hummer.
* POVCam: The whole game is from the Marine's point-of-view.
* {{Sidequest}}: The missions to help Julie and Winston with their personal affairs. They're normally be an EscortMission, but they're never in any actual danger.
* SingleUseShield: Juju Sticks guard you from a single attack by EliteMooks.
* TropicalIslandAdventure: The game is set on the fictional Caribbean island of Cay Noir. In real life, most of the footage used was shot in Puerto Rico and around the area.
* UpdatedRerelease: Even before the 2019 remaster, the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn was home to ''Corpse Killer: Graveyard Edition'', which added power-ups dropping during the shooting gallery portions and new zombie attacks where they get up close and personal, as well as a difficulty selection.
