The News Corpse is the town's newspaper, which is published daily at midnight and edited by The Crow.

Also known as The Gazette, it includes tips and events from the previous night's attack.

Usually, The Crow tries to bring shame upon the survivors. It will berate or slander individuals or all of the citizens on a number of subjects, such as if anyone died in the World Beyond, forgot to close the gate, has taken multiple items from the bank, or some other fiendish act it suspects we did.


Obituaries

It gives an obituary of the people who died the previous night.

Well, when I say obituary, it gives a list of names, separated into two categories: Deaths in town and Other victims.

Deaths in town

These are entirely concerned with casualties from the previous nights attack.

Hovering over the names of the dead will give a cause of death, but in this case will invariably be Lacerated... Devoured... during the night's attack!

Other victims

Other victims deals with, er, other victims. Hovering over the names will give a cause of death. These can include:

Generalized infection: The 50-50 chance of an Status infect.gifStatus infect.gifInfected Infected person surviving the night came up tails.

Withdrawal: Anyone with the Status addict.gifStatus addict.gifHooked! Hooked! status who hasn't had their daily drug before the attack will end up here.

Terminal Dehydration: Anyone with the Status dehyd.gifStatus dehyd.gifDehydrated! Dehydrated! status who hasn't drunk anything before the attack wastes away here.

Disappeared in the World Beyond during the night!  : Camping is dangerous. But it doesn't say they died...

Unknown reason  : Maybe they couldn't take it any more. Maybe it was spontaneous human combustion. Maybe they got on The crow's nerves...
