About Dream of Corpse Lady
Dream of Corpse Lady is a single‑player deck‑building strategy game where you play as the awakened Corpse Lady. You command puppet armies, harvest wandering souls, and aim to turn the world into your personal collection.
The title offers five main story campaigns and ten challenge levels, each with its own lore and scaling difficulty. Full voice acting, six unlockable Corpse Lady skins, 28 recruitable followers, and over 100 artifacts enrich the dark, villain‑centric experience.
01 / THE GUIDE
Main Story Campaigns
The full game contains five distinct main story campaigns. Each campaign introduces unique characters such as an incompetent husband, a nine‑tailed fox demon, and an otherworldly girl, and the difficulty rises as you progress.
Completing a campaign records a victory CG illustration. These CGs serve as visual markers of each campaign’s conclusion and are stored in the game’s gallery.
- Review the CG gallery after each campaign to track narrative milestones.
- Use early campaigns to learn follower interactions before tackling later, harder levels.
02 / THE GUIDE
Followers and Talents
You can recruit up to 28 followers, each with a distinct personality and a one‑of‑a‑kind ultimate talent. Followers can receive blessings that dramatically raise their base stats and open stronger skill branches.
Whenever Corpse Lady levels up, every follower receives a "Dark Script" that provides a massive power boost, but each boost carries a deadly curse.
- Distribute blessings across several followers to keep your team versatile.
- Watch the curse effects from Dark Scripts; they may offset the power increase.
03 / THE GUIDE
Treasure Vault and Artifacts
The Treasure Vault holds over 100 magical artifacts that deliver fire support to followers. Some artifacts trigger exclusive effects when equipped by specific characters, unlocking additional abilities.
Any excess loot from the vault can be smelted into cash, providing a resource that can be spent later in the game.
- Prioritize artifacts that have character‑specific effects for maximum impact.
- Smelt surplus artifacts early to build a cash reserve for future purchases.
04 / THE GUIDE
Puppet Resurrection
When a puppet falls in battle, Corpse Lady can revive it at any time with a simple command, even if the puppet has been dead for a long period.
This resurrection mechanic means that a puppet’s death does not end a run, allowing you to adjust strategy without permanent loss.
- Use resurrection to test risky board setups without fearing permanent loss.
- Consider timing revivals to maintain control of the battlefield after a wave.
05 / THE GUIDE
Voice Acting and Visuals
Full voice acting runs throughout the game, headlined by Xu Hui and Xie Ying, giving the narrative a villainous tone.
Victory CGs and six distinct Corpse Lady skins—such as Tipsy Dragon Maiden and Fallen Princess—provide visual rewards that reflect progress.
- Listen for vocal cues; they sometimes hint at upcoming challenges.
- Try different skins to experience varied visual themes.
