Emi Evans has lent her extraordinary vocal and lyrical talents to CORPSE FACTORY! Emi is well known for her work on a multitude of game soundtracks, including Nier: Automata, Dark Souls and Granblue Fantasy. In addition to game music, she has even performed on Star Wars: Visions!
Composed by Alec Shea, and with lyrics written and performed by Emi Evans, ‘Strange Flower’ will serve as the opening theme for CORPSE FACTORY. It’s a dark, hauntingly beautiful track that truly emcompasses the motifs of the game.
You can pre-order the game’s original soundtrack today and it will become available for digital download once the game releases! Or, pre-save it on Spotify:
On the subject of the game’s release, we know you’re all waiting with baited breath for a release date announcement!
We’re putting the final touches on the PC version of the game. During March, we ironed out the issues with gamepad controls and have nearly finished compiling the final build. We’ll be submitting the build to Steam very shortly for approval.
We should be able to share a concrete release date in our next update! We’re currently fixing a few small issues with the Nintendo Switch build, so chances are that this version of the game may be released a little later than the PC version. We’ll share more news on this as soon as we have it.
See you in the next update!

February Update + Something Cool Coming Soon!
about 2 years ago
– Mon, Feb 28, 2022 at 03:26:40 AM
As we dive into the final steps of development, we’re super excited to share our progress for the month. Let’s take a look at what we achieved during February!
Our entire voice cast has finished recording, and we’ve edited and implemented their performances into the game. We need to finalize a handful of line retakes, but this should be wrapped up quickly! It’s such a thrill playing through the game now that it is voiced!
Our PC build for the game is shaping up well. We spent the month trying to improve performance and squash a couple of lingering bugs. If all goes well, we’ll be able to spend some time next month focusing on developing Steam-specific features, such as achievements and cloud saves.
Our Nintendo Switch build is coming along nicely! There’s a lot more to consider when developing for this platform. The hardware is a little more restrictive than PC, so we’ve spent a lot of time optimizing game assets (graphics, music, voice) to ensure the game performs well on this console. We’re still working on ironing out a few things - there are a couple of inconsistencies with Joy-Con controls that we’re trying to smooth out right now.
In other news:
We’re working with a very talented (and very famous) singer to produce a brand new song in collaboration with our composer, Alec Shea. This is a BIG deal, and I think you’re all going to love it. You’re in for a real treat when we drop the final track soon… For now, we need to remain tight-lipped, but keep an eye (or an ear) on our social pages in the coming weeks.
We’ll wrap things up here for now. Looking forward to sharing more with you soon!
January Update + Voiced Story Trailer

– Wed, Jan 26, 2022 at 06:54:30 PM
Let's kick off this update with a brand new sizzling story trailer. Prepare to have your breath taken away as Noriko (Erika Harlacher) introduces you to the world of CORPSE FACTORY.
Pretty haunting, right?
Read on to learn about how development on the game is shaping up!
We’re nearly at the finish line, which is both immensely exciting and nerve-wracking.
Most of our cast members have finished recording their lines. We’ve been diving into editing and implementing their voices into the game. It’s a time-consuming process, but the end result is absolutely excellent!
We’re also working on getting the Nintendo eShop page for the game ready. Once this goes live, you’ll be able to add it to your Nintendo wishlist and (hopefully!) pre-order it if you didn’t back the Kickstarter. We’re applying for an age classification rating, which may take a little more time to be approved.
Important note: This week is your last chance to finish your BackerKit survey if you haven’t already. We’re going to be locking orders, meaning you won’t be able to adjust details after January 30th.
If you’ve ordered extra add-ons through BackerKit, your card will be charged after January 30th.
If you have any questions about the surveys, please send us a message and we’ll get back to you.
Thanks for reading!
Until next time…!
More incredible voice actors join the cast!

The end of the year is just around the corner, and we're looking forward to 2022. After all, it's the year that CORPSE FACTORY will lurch forth from the morgue and devour your attention!
Today, we're happy to announce the rest of the game's cast. You'll remember last month that we revealed Erika Harlacher, Brianna Knickerbocker and Sean Chiplock in the roles of Noriko, Aoi, and Shinya, respectively. Read on to find out the rest of our casting choices!
Aleks Le as Kojiro, our favorite creepy morgue attendant.
Notable roles: Demon Slayer (Zenitsu), Astral Chain (Akira), Street Fighter V (Luke).
Faye Mata as Tomoe, the super-mean gal girl.
Notable roles: KonoSuba (Aqua), JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (Yukako), Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Petra).
Kaiji Tang as Junpei, a super-secret character we haven't even announced yet!
Notable roles: Yakuza: Like a Dragon (Ichiban), Jujutsu Kaisen (Satoru), Danganronpa (Gonta, Yasuhiro).
The roles above round out our main cast. For our supporting cast, we decided to go all out and continue to work with the best talent in the business!
Anairis Quiñones as Emi.
Notable roles: My Hero Academia (Mirko), Re:ZERO (Echidna).
While our talented cast record their lines, our development team has been continuing to make progress. We've finalized the game's choices and endings, and we're working on quality-of-life improvements that make playing the game a breeze.
Before we wrap up this update, a little note on the game's release date!
CORPSE FACTORY was tentatively slated for a January 2022 release. Due to the addition of voice acting, we've pushed this back a bit. When we have a more concrete date, we'll be sure to share it here.
Additionally, the Nintendo Switch version of the game might take a little bit longer. This is uncertain at this stage, but we want to be upfront about the possibility. Nintendo's approval processes are quite lengthy, and we can't submit a final build of the game for approval until all our voice acting is complete.
Depending on the time it takes for Nintendo to approve the final build, we may have to release the Switch version after the PC version. Again, any news on this will be shared here first. We appreciate your patience!
That's it for now! We'll see you again next month!
Meet the all-star voice cast of CORPSE FACTORY!

– Mon, Nov 29, 2021 at 06:56:41 PM
We're super excited to make a special announcement today.
CORPSE FACTORY will feature full English voice acting, with performances from a stellar cast of anime and video game veterans!
There's no time to waste here, so let's introduce the first 3 cast members!
Erika Harlacher as Noriko Kurosawa!
Notable roles: Persona 5 (Ann Takamaki), Demon Slayer (Shinobu Kocho), Violet Evergarden (Violet), The Seven Deadly Sins (Elizabeth Liones) and so many, many more...!
Brianna Knickerbocker as Aoi Satou!
Notable roles: Re: Zero (Rem), Demon Slayer (Kanao Tsuyuri), Fire Emblem Fates (Sakura), Carole & Tuesday (Tuesday) and too many others to name!
Sean Chiplock as Shinya Fujikawa!
Notable roles: Re: Zero (Subaru Natsuki), Trails of Cold Steel (Rean Schwarzer), Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Revali), Edens Zero (Shiki) and probably a million other things!
So, this is pretty amazing, right?
Back when we launched our Kickstarter campaign, we were only going to include voice acting as a stretch goal. We didn't quite hit that goal, but... We decided to go ahead with it anyway!
The cast's talented performances will dramatically increase your immersion in CORPSE FACTORY's story and atmosphere.
As fantastic as today's news is, it does have one drawback. We're going to push back the release date of the game just a little bit in order to give our cast ample time to record their performances. When we have a solid release window, we'll make a follow-up announcement. Thanks for understanding!
Of course, we still have a bunch of other well-known cast members to announce, but... That might have to wait for another day! We'll leave you in eager anticipation for now and check in again soon!
