  Unfinished game, it has only one chapter.

  I would recommend waiting on this game until new content actually comes out for it... which remains highly doubtful it ever will. The first (And currently only) chapter was interesting, and it had some cool creepy moments in it. I enjoyed what's been released so far. But to my knowledge there hasn't been a single update to this game in at least a couple of years. If more work is done on it, great, but at the moment it's kind of a waste of money.

  there's only 10% of a game here. and no further updates. the fact that steam keeps the game up for people to spend money on, is rediculus. total scam

  It's unfinished and the devs didn't even bother to put a warning of any kind to let you know your spending money on a game they ditched.

  I would love to recommend this entry of one of my favorite franchises, sadly however this project is effectively abandoned. With no new chapters, apparent engine changes, threads asking for chapter two dating as far back 2016/17, characters referenced in and from this game, being cut from promotional art/trailers, it is safe to say chapter two will never release. A game that has a good set up, a few likable characters, and that's about it. I would highly recommend finding this game torrented/cracked somewhere online because they'll get their money with Corpse Party (2021) which is yes, just a remake of Blood Covered with extra characters/chapters.

  This game has so much potential, but it has been abandoned by the devs with no plans to finish it. So you get like 15% of the whole story and well that is it. it is not really worth money in this state. It should be given out for free, it might have done well. But in this state it is a scam.

  Should be marked as "Early Access..."... only 1 chapter and one "bonus" chapter are available. It's too bad as the premise is interesting. The voices aren't dubbed, so I don't see why there's a delay. The true dead patient is the game. At this point, I'd settle for an interactive visual novel for the rest of the chapters. I have other criticisms but they pale in comparison to the fact that the game is unfinished.

  I've actually bought this game through gog and completed it several years ago. I've decided to play my Steam copy of the game as long as was required of me to be able to write this review, so disregard the short play time that is displayed as of this writing as it isn't an accurate indication of my actual time spent with the game. With that out of the way... Despite what the release date on the store page shows, Dead Patient's story had actually debuted back on May 29th 2013, through the original version of this game that was never released outside of Japan. The version of the game that's currently being sold here on Steam, gog and elsewhere is known as "Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient Neues", which was made on an at-the-time brand new engine and had it's revamped version of Chapter 1 first released on October 5, 2017 in Japan. This game wouldn't see an English release until a little more than 2 years later, on October 23, 2019 - the release date you see here on the store page. I bring all this information up because I wish to bring attention to the metaphorical elephant in the room: that being the complete and utter lack of any meaningful updates to the game's story for not over three years, but in actuality, as of this writing, almost ten. The Neues version of the game added a single "EX Chapter" to the story, but no actual full chapters past Chapter 1 have yet to be released since this game's inception. All my investigations into this matter ever uncovered were that a person or two affiliated with the game's development had offered an apology for the game's slow development a few years ago, but past that there's been virtually nothing in the way resembling actual updates to Dead Patient's progress. No screenshots, footage, interviews, game assets, nothing. In fact, I'd argue that at this point I've now seen sufficient evidence to show that this game has effectively been quietly abandoned by it's developers, if the lack of meaningful content updates for near 10 straight years wasn't enough on it's own to convince most people looking into this game (I personally don't consider the single EX Chapter they added to Neues to be anything close to resembling a meaningful content update during such an extended time frame, even for a small team of Indies.). There are threads on this game's Steam community hub made by several people asking for Chapter 2 updates dating as far back as 2019, with no developers/publishers associated with the game ever coming forward to provide any answers. Characters referenced in and from Dead Patient have been cut from more recent promotional art and trailers, while another upcoming Corpse Party game called "Darkness Distortion" has been slowly but noticeably been popping up in new promotional materials. In relation to that, an interview with MAGES director Makoto Asada that can be found on "Noisy Pixel" (which is titled, "New Corpse Party Game Announced; Worldwide Release", and first published on their site on February 26, less than a week ago as of this writing) goes into more detail about this upcoming "Darkness Distortion" Corpse Party game, where I'm going to highlight the bits of the interview that really matter (you can read the full thing yourselves if you want the full context): "Interviewer: Will be a remake of the original?" "Makoto Asada: <...> No, it will be a new Corpse Party with a new scenario. Perhaps the only thing that hasn’t changed is that this game strongly focuses on sound, just like previous titles. Still, we have made the horror elements stronger, so I hope that not only fans of the series but also fans of horror games, in general, will enjoy this entry. <...> However, the core concept of Corpse Party is still there because Team GrisGris, the staff writers who wrote the original game, are all involved. We have started this project with the intent of taking the horror of Corpse Party to the next level." "Interviewer: When did plans for this development begin?" "Makoto Asada: The actual production started about two years ago, but the project itself has been in the works for several years. The idea of giving Corpse Party a new form had been on the agenda for a long time, but we never got around to starting the project, and it had been stagnant. So around two years ago, I decided to take on the challenge and get it off the ground.". ... So if we take everything that Asada says here into consideration when looking back on the past 10 years of Dead Patient's existence, not only do we have someone who's involved with the production and publishing of the upcoming Darkness Distortion outright confirming that not only has work on this particular game been technically in the works for the past couple years already, but he makes it clear that the hope for this new game will be to take the series into a new direction that will be very different to previous entries that came before, and in more than just story. Drastically different, in fact. There's also the fact that all of the GrisGris writers who worked on previous entries are also currently focusing their attention primarily on this new game, according to him. You want to know what I also noticed from this particular interview? A distinct lack of mention for any updates regarding Dead Patient. I don't know about you, dear readers, but what I'm personally taking from all of this, along with the other facts I've previously mentioned, is that, by all appearances, Dead Patient has effectively been abandoned by it's developers in favor of a new Corpse Party game that they feel is more worthy of their time and attention than doing anything to move Dead Patient forward in any capacity - a game which, I want to remind all of you yet again, has effectively been trapped in development hell for near 10 straight years at this point with no meaningful updates past it's first chapter. This very premise truly irritates me, since I've been periodically checking back on this game ever since I first completed it several years prior, looking for the tiniest hints of any potential updates for it coming down the pipeline, and as months turned into years that kept piling on my disappointment and irritation with this sad state of affairs continued to grow... and now I'm being presented with an interview about a wholly unrelated game that more or less confirms what I've been suspecting for a while now: that Corpse Party 2 has effectively been abandoned with not so much as a single syllable from anyone affiliated with the game offering any meaningful status updates for it besides a simple tweet that apologizes for the game's slow development, which was made several years ago (Lord knows if that tweet still exists. I don't even remember who even made it it's been so long since I last heard about it.). I could offer all kinds of speculation as to why Dead Patient has been abandoned, but this thing I've written here has gone on long enough as it is, so I'm just going to go ahead and wrap things up by parting with you the following P.S.A.: I strongly recommend that you DO NOT purchase this game. It has effectively been abandoned. Purchasing any additional copies of it at this point is VERY unlikely to convince anyone affiliated with the game to come back and resume working on it, so you'd just be wasting your time AND money, and those are things we humans only have in limited quantities. If you're a fan of the series, just stick to the games that take place during the Heavenly Host Saga - at least the Heavenly Host Saga has SOMETHING resembling a definitive beginning, middle and end (unless Darkness Distortion decides to change all that, somehow), regardless of how you one may feel about the entire saga's overall quality. You're far more likely to get your money's worth with ANY game from that saga. I speak as a fan of this series. Take care now.

  Great game with a lot of mystery that I want answers to, but it's an abandoned project, only first chapter exists.
