Discard your sense of morality and enter the world of CORPSE FACTORY. An obscure website allows users to request a death. Victims supposedly receive a photograph of their own corpse before they are killed! With English voice acting by an all-star cast.
The gameplay primarily consists of reading through the story and making occasional narrative choices. There are no traditional gameplay mechanics like combat, puzzles, or exploration. Instead, players progress the story by clicking to advance the text and selecting dialogue options during conversations.
While the narrative is mostly linear, the game features around 3 key choices that determine which of the multiple endings the player will unlock. Reviewers noted that these limited choices allow players to slightly influence the trajectory of the story.
Reviewers praised the user-friendly interface and control scheme, which enhance the reading experience. For example, players can scroll through text using the mouse wheel and utilize keyboard shortcuts for common actions. Furthermore, the clear presentation of dialogue and narration, along with the well-implemented English voice acting, make the storytelling easy to follow and immersive.
Reviewers found the game's pacing to be generally well-handled, with the story progressing at a steady clip without feeling rushed or slow. The division of the narrative into distinct "Acts" that shift perspectives between characters was seen as an effective way to maintain player engagement throughout the lengthy runtime. While some felt the final act could have been more fleshed out, the overall consensus was that the story was compelling enough to keep players invested.
