You are given some agency with some branching dialogue and the notes you uncover do factor into the game’s many endings so there’s reason to replay and explore. All the while, you’ve got the persistent thread of trying to find your chosen damsel whilst also trying to escape from the school’s many corridors. You’re senses are not being bombarded which allows a level of control and concentration which I like.ĭespite it’s fairly wrote origins, the story can carry some intrigue and it’s nice to revisit this kind of horror after seeing so many western titles opt for the backwoods cult route. Music is used sparingly and sound raises with intensity whenever a threat is nearby. Unity’s put to some great use and, whilst they’re not pushing a polygon count, characters are expressive and there’s very few rough edges to note. It’s not jaw dropping but characters and environments have a nice clean, stylised look. Most notably, the game delivers some improved visuals. With the advance of time, certain things have obviously changed since the turn of the century. The world-building is a nice touch which also focuses on characters, both friendly and adversarial. It certainly adds some flesh to the school’s troubled history and the spectres that roam. You fill in the gaps with speculation and facts from notes you’ll gather throughout your time at the school. The horror it draws from is very traditional with ghost stories and rumours shaping the hauntings. Naturally, it doesn’t take too long for this to go south and a lock-in at the school quickly ensues. He’s trying to deliver some chocolates to a girl he’s taken a shine to. White Day sees you inhabit the newly-transferred shoes of Lee Hui-min. Has time been kind to this tale of ghost stories and valentines?
A 2009 mobile re-release provides the basis for this latest repackaging. Originally a 2001 release, White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is developed by Korean developers Sonnori. Sometimes it’s nice to return to a survival horror with Asian sensibilities.
