(And to quash another rumor that's been going around, no, Corpse Party: Book of Shadows is NOT just a remake / retelling of Corpse Party; it's an anthology of
short stories that take place either before, during or
after certain events from Corpse Party, and
while some of these stories are non-canonical alternate - universe tales, four of the eight are very much part of series canon, and the other four still help develop characters in ways not found
elsewhere in the series.
