* AnotherSideAnotherStory: ~Rebirth~ has two additional side stories starring new characters:
** Extra Chapter: MayuMori - This chapter stars the characters Mayu and Morishige, from Blood Covered. After sharing the ghost story, the two are dragged into Heavenly Host [[spoiler:by Yuki Kanno, hailing from Blood Covered]] and need to find a way to escape. This story sets up certain events that take place in the main game.
** Extra Chapter: Sachiko - This is a prequel that follows the good half of the Vengeful Spirit, during the time when the dreaded Heavenly Host was first created. Currently, this chapter has yet to be finished.

The original game has never been released in English or outside of Japan, but it's had three notable [[VideoGameRemake remakes]] so far that have been localized: an official adaptation into a PC game, titled ''Corpse Party: Blood Covered'' which expanded the story and reworked the characters; a [[FanRemake fan made faithful remake]] by an anonymous member of a Japanese message board with the permission of the original developers, titled ''[[https://memoriesoffear.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=46 Corpse-Party =Rebuilt=]]'', an update of said remake with additional content and endings inspired by the rest of the franchise, titled ''[[https://zwataketa.itch.io/cprebirth Corpse-Party ~Rebirth~]]''; and finally ''[[VisualNovel/CorpseParty Corpse Party: Blood Covered ...Repeated Fear]]'', the second official remake, this time for the [[UsefulNotes/PlaystationPortable PSP]]. This page covers tropes for the original and ''Rebuilt''.

Added DiffLines:

***~Rebirth~ removes some parts of this ending but adds a post-credits scene [[spoiler:in which Shiho, now the girl in red, asks her sister to perpetuate the cycle of hatred by telling the ghost story to many people, likely leading to Ending B from Corpse-Party Zero. The reason for the removal of the scenes is because a "true ending" will be added that brings them back.]]


Added DiffLines:

***In ~Rebirth~ this ending is changed and takes place from [[spoiler:Yoshiki's]] perspective. [[spoiler:Yoshiki goes to Ayumi's house to check on her, only to find her stabbing herself with scissors for the same ritual as in Ending D-2, except more violently as she is crushed by the guilt of telling the ghost story which led to her friends' deaths.]]


Added DiffLines:

**~Rebirth~ brings the ending count up to 15, plus a few "extra" endings.
*** E-1: [[spoiler:Everyone except Yoshiki dies. Yoshiki learns that Satoshi was killed by his sister after escaping and wonders when Ayumi will do the same to him. He then meets Sayako and gets scouted to join a Kendo club, leading to the events of Corpse Party if...]]
*** E-2: [[spoiler:Everyone except Ayumi dies. Echoing Ending B from Zero, Ayumi decides that her friends must be lonely in Heavenly Host. Years later, an older Ayumi is found telling the same ghost story to a couple of girls, continuing the cycle of hatred.]]
*** F-1: [[spoiler:Naomi is the only one killed. The process for getting this ending is that same as the standard Ending C route, except that Yuka needs to hold the charm. In ~Rebirth~, the ending is changed to show that rather than an evil spirit taking her body, Naomi herself has turned evil. After returning home, Yuka finds Satoshi murdered by Naomi, who is now the Girl in Red.]]
*** F-2: [[spoiler:Naomi and Ayumi are dead. This ending is an alternate take on the events of D-1 following F-1. Yoshiki calls for Satoshi as before, except it's Yuka who meets him outside, telling him that Satoshi was killed by Naomi. Upon hearing this, Yoshiki stabs himself with the knife he's holding.]]
*** F-3: [[spoiler:Naomi and Yoshiki are dead. This ending is an alternate take on the events of D-2 following F-1. Ayumi is told by Yuka that Naomi killed Satoshi, and decides to get her help to perform the ritual. However, Ayumi performed the ritual wrong, and gets incinerated as Yuka calls out her name.]] The events of this scene are based off the opening of Corpse Party D2: Depths of Despair.
*** G: [[spoiler:Satoshi and Naomi die in the school to protect Yuka. After escaping, Yoshiki and Ayumi take on the task of caring for Yuka at Satoshi's request, and the trio goes to a crepes restaurant.]] A uniquely heartwarming ending after all of the other possible endings.
*** H-1: [[spoiler: Satoshi, Naomi, and Ayumi are dead. After escaping, Yoshiki takes on the task of caring for Yuka, as if to make up for failing to save Ayumi. He brings Yuka back to his house and introduces her to his little sister Miki.]]
*** H-2: [[spoiler: Satoshi, Naomi, and Yoshiki are dead. Sometime after escaping, Ayumi talks to Satoshi, noting Yuka's recovery and lamenting Yoshiki's sacrifice for her sake. She ends feeling guilty for telling the ghost story, not knowing if her words reached her deceased friends.]]
*** Additionally, there is one ending that can be acquired after beating the game once. The player must play through the game while keeping everyone alive, and find a specific item that is only available once the route is locked in (aka, it becomes impossible for any characters to permanently die from that point on). [[spoiler: Close to the end of the game, instead of entering the basement, Satoshi's team stumbles upon an anniversary party for the Corpse Party franchise, with all of the major characters appearing, plus several characters from Blood Covered.]] This ending is based off the surprise ending from ''VideoGame/SilentHillDownpour''.

**In ~Rebirth~, this scene gets changed to remove any direct declarations of love, with [[spoiler:Yuka]] instead lamenting that they will never be able to tell the boy they like how they feel about him. While not outright stated here like in the original game, it could be argued that she is lying about the boy "being from her class". [[spoiler:She still asks the target to say they love her back.]]
***[[spoiler:The reason this scene was changed is because the creator of ~Rebirth~ has a sister, and thus finds Yuka's incestual feelings in the original really creepy.]]

The original game has never been released in English or outside of Japan, but it's had three notable [[VideoGameRemake remakes]] so far that have been localized: an official adaptation into a PC game, titled ''Corpse Party: Blood Covered'' which expanded the story and reworked the characters; a [[FanRemake fan made faithful remake]] by an anonymous member of a Japanese message board with the permission of the original developers, titled ''[[https://memoriesoffear.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=46 Corpse-Party - Rebuilt]]''; and finally ''[[VisualNovel/CorpseParty Corpse Party: Blood Covered ...Repeated Fear]]'', the second official remake, this time for the [[UsefulNotes/PlaystationPortable PSP]].

* SchmuckBait: The Science Lab. The door to it is explicitly opened by [[spoiler:the malevolent spirit that is the game's BigBad]], and there's even a note that blatantly warns you to stay away from that place. If you go in anyway and awaken the anatomical model as a result, tragedy is inevitable.
** Escaping the anatomical model without anyone dying is actually possible, but to do it the player need to be nimble with control configuration on keyboard.

** [[spoiler:Sachiko]]'s [[NoNameGiven unnamed]] teacher, though seemingly friendly, is the one indirectly responsible for turning [[spoiler:Sachiko's anger and despair]] into the BigBad. [[spoiler:When Sachiko was alive, he met her after school and showed his true colors by [[AttemptedRape trying to rape her]], leading to her accidental death when she fell out the window trying to escape, and her return as a malevolent spirit.]] Even worse is the fact that [[KarmaHoudini he is never caught for this]].
** [[spoiler:The principal]] helped to cover up [[spoiler:Sachiko's death]] and allowed the aforementioned teacher to [[KarmaHoudini get away with his crimes]] in order to [[SlaveToPR protect the school's reputation]]. When he is later tortured by [[spoiler:the evil half of Sachiko]], he [[NeverMyFault behaves as though he is an innocent victim]], completely ignoring the role he played in [[spoiler:her suffering]].

* GuideDangIt: The players can make the characters running instead of walking by holding [[spoiler:"Space"]] and directional arrow, which will be helpful in the [[spoiler:escape sequence after defeating Evil Sachiko]]. The game does not bother to explain any of this, not even in the form of in-game clue.
