Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion follows three friends as they explore the Amare Est Vivere Hospital, testing a local urban legend. Unfortunately, the legend is true and they trigger a curse that sends them into a dark realm. Together they must avoid a vengeful spirit and other horrors as they search for a way to dispel the curse.

Corpse Party is a horror series that follows a group of students who are trapped in a haunted school. The first game in the series was released in 1996 in Japan. American fans first got to play the game in 2006. Its success paved the path for several squeals, a manga series, and an anime adaptation.
