Corpse Party
Horror-Comedy Game with Alternative Controller
Description
Corpse Party is an alternative controller game whose narrative is based on the novel Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley. You play as Igor, Dr. Frankenstein’s assistant. You are tasked to retrieve body parts necessary for Dr. Frankenstein’s Creature by robbing the graves of the recently deceased at a nearby cemetery. Then, you must return and arrange the parts you’ve collected into the perfect Creature. But is a head necessary? Could your body have four arms? Anything goes, as long as Dr. Frankenstein is satisfied.
The game was developed for Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment Technology Center to be showcased at the program’s annual festival and was a faculty pitch project for the Fall of 2023.
Narrative Design Document
As the Lead Narrative Designer, I created a Narrative Design Document for the project that contains all of the game’s narrative content, including bark sheets, character descriptions, and final cutscene script. The link to the final Narrative Design Document can be found below.
Voice Acting Audio Files
As part of my role as a Narrative Designer, I also had the opportunity to collaborate with and direct voice actors for the main characters of the game. On the right is a link to a deleted scene from the game we used for the lobby entrance, and the corresponding script.
