Corpse Party plot recap, spoiler-light
Nine students and their teacher gather at Kisaragi Academy during a culture festival to perform a friendly ritual using paper doll charms known as Sachiko Ever After. Rather than securing eternal friendship, the charm triggers a paranormal phenomenon that plunges the group into Heavenly Host Elementary School, an alternate dimension resting right beneath their own school's foundation. This dilapidated schoolhouse was torn down years earlier following a series of gruesome murders.
Separated across the nightmarish landscape, the students must confront hostile spirits, deadly traps, and descending madness. Among the group are kind-hearted Satoshi Mochida, his younger sister Yuka, childhood friend Naomi Nakashima, intimidating student Yoshiki Kishinuma, and class representative Ayumi Shinozaki, alongside several others. As they search for a way out, they encounter other trapped victims and learn about the dark history of the red-dressed spirit, Sachiko, who holds the key to their survival or damnation within the ruined halls.
