white day a labyrinth named school review

There are a lot of different notes scattered throughout the rooms you’ll explore that give plenty of detail and backstory about all the terrible things that have happened in and around the school. One such moment is the story of the school itself. The overall story is a bit of a disappointment, but it definitely has a few moments where it stands out. It also can alter how a cutscene plays out completely.

Since he is a silent protagonist, you’ll be given two options for each question asked, which will help lead you to one of the game’s many endings. There are plenty of times during cutscenes when Hui-min will be asked a question. The most fleshed out characters were So-young and Seong-a Kim, but it just felt like it wasn’t enough to really get me invested in their motivations, which is a shame because the overall story is a decent paranormal ghost story. Throughout the journey you meet a few other characters, including a mysterious girl with a bossy attitude named Seong-a Kim. The characters themselves aren’t the most well developed but they are likeable for what is here. The friendly janitor who works at the school is suddenly not so friendly at night, and there are even ghosts haunting the halls and classrooms. Later on, Hui-min finds himself drawn back to the school at night to give So-young her diary back, where he quickly realizes that the school he attends is a very different place at night. Hui-min also wants to give her White Day chocolate as a sign of his feelings. White Day starts off with our silent protagonist, Hui-min Lee, wanting to return the diary of a girl he has a crush on, named So-young. Now that I’ve played through White Day, did it satisfy the survival horror fan in me, or did it fail to please? That way the element of surprise is much greater, which I feel gives me a much better horror experience overall.

I generally like to go into a new horror game knowing nothing. I had never heard of the original game, nor did I look at many trailers for this version. White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is a remake of an old horror game of the same name that was released all the way back in 2001.
