Coming later today, some of you may be stoked to hear that the epic horror tale Corpse Party is finally coming to 3DS worldwide on the E-Store.

Let me just collect my thoughts for a moment as I'm thinking how best to explain this game to you. Corpse Party is everything a horror game should be. Detailed, horrific without being inappropriate, terrifying without being cheap, and it actually has a hell of a story to back up its visual promise. Games like that are hard to find, I'll tell you now.

Corpse Party follows a group of school kids and their teacher after a botched ritual sends them careening into an alternate dimension full of trapped souls, skeletons, and angry spirits. You explore the old school and uncover the story through each different set of characters, hopefully achieving the limited 'good' ending over the multiple 'bad' ones.

I'll keep it short and sweet; as horror games go, this one's is in my top five, and I can only hope its port to 3DS is as successful as it was to PC several months ago. As it is rated 'M'/PEGI 18, keep in mind that it does have some disturbing scenes/tales in the game which more sensitive souls may find upsetting. Otherwise keep an eye out.

Corpse Party is due to drop today on the Nintendo E-Store for those lucky folk in America, while Europe will be able to get their hands on it tomorrow the 26th October.
