Another review said it perfectly. "This game isn't scary, it's annoying." The characters are bad, plot is bad, and you'll spend more time hiding than doing anything, not because you're scared, but because you have to wait for enemies to leave so you can go and do any objectives without being harassed and killed. 100% not worth any purchase, let alone the full price tag of $30.

It's got great atmosphere, and some decently spooky vibes. It's a shame that it's all for nothing because of the atrocious gameplay. The constant "threat" of the patrolling janitors very quickly loses all tension when you learn that you can hide in a bathroom stall in front of their face, and they immediately lose all sense of object permanence and forget where you are. You also have essentially no ability to tell …

-Very underrated good horror game remake. -Highly recommence starting on Normal -Frosty the snowman and Rudolph on my ass 24/7 -10 endings and for 100% you have to get each ending in all difficulties. Which means Hell difficulty all 10 times. Don't let that stop you from playing :D -You are required to look at documents through the game for hints, codes are random. I recommend looking at a guide for ending …

66% of the 168 Steam reviewers we collected recommend White Day: A Labyrinth Named School. The complaint that keeps coming up: janitor stalker enemies are annoying. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School received mixed reviews from critics on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch according to aggregate review website Metacritic.Praise was generally given to the setting, puzzles, and horror aspects. Reviewers also favourably compared the title to classic horror games from the PlayStation 2 era. Conversely, criticism was given to the difficulty and frequency of the janitors and ghosts that appeared throughout the game, which critics said were too overpowered and hindered exploration (the former of which later received a patch that reduced difficulty). The cryptic nature of certain boss battles was also cited as an issue. Cory Arnold of Destructoid, in a review…

White Day wasn't Korea's first horror game, but it certainly was the first one to weave in so much of Korea's rich culture, history and folklore. Can't wait to show you guys what I've been cooking!

The game is centred on a variety of puzzles that require reading notes and paying attention to how to solve them, as well as keeping an eye on surviving the maniacal…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A pretty good little horror game with a great atmosphere, interesting story, and multiple endings. I really liked the characters, ghosts, and overall setting. The only thing that really bothered me was the incredibly annoying Janitor, especially in the second building. He made exploring more frustrating than it needed to be.

neutral · AI labelView post →This game was rough to get through. Yes the janitor is annoying but I found the puzzles to be much more of a hinderance then anything. Play this game with a guide or bust. I beat it once and just watched all the alternative endings on youtube cause this game is such a chore. This game is relic of the past and deserves to stay there. RIP

positive · AI labelView post →Overview: This game showcases immense potential, positioning itself as a contender for one of the best I’ve ever played. However, its execution often leaves much to be desired. The game boasts impressive scale, featuring numerous endings, secrets, options, items, and intricately designed locations. Yet, this abundance can feel overwhelming, as the sheer volume of content can lead to frustration when attempting to explore everything it has to offer. Many of the game's elements are ambitious…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I was to make a survival horror game I think one of my primary influences would be the 2001 Korean PC horror game "White Day: A Labyrinth Named School", specifically the 2001 version and not the more widely available remake. I hate it's approach to horror, which is reliant on sudden shock stims
negative · AI labelView post →I'm not big into horror games, especially ones with ghosts, but here I was curious and gave it a try. I did play through the game once, and so far on easy difficulty, unlocking 3 endings in the process. There are several difficulties to choose from, ranging from very easy to hell. In my first playthrough, I didn't notice a lot about the ghosts. Sure, they were there, and some were boss battles, but the game has a lot more to offer when it comes to the ghost stories, from what I noticed. Some…

neutral · AI labelView post →White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is a remake of a 2002 Korean title of the same name. The original is supposedly very influential (even though I barely hear anyone talking about it) and was an inspiration for sequences in Amnesia, and Layers of Fear. The way the Janitor stalker works, it seems that most similar horror games also took some ideas from it. I’ve never played the original, but if the remake is any indication, White Day didn’t age well. Multiple puzzles have missing…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a story this game is fun and interesting. I love the characters and ghost designs, however as others have said the main janitor enemies are horrendous to deal with in the second half of the game, and most of the content and puzzles are locked behind normal difficulty and above. The endings are also locked behind arbitrary choices and involve replaying the entire game to get to. It genuinely feels like the devs are using frustration tactics to get you to put more hours in but it just puts me…

neutral · AI labelView post →Personal Rating: Mostly Positive (70%) If we are talking about full price (30€) then it´s NOT worth it. I got it for 5€ and I´m happy I waited. White Day should be for like 10€ to 15€ at most. You get roughly 3-4 hours on the story if you take some time. Also, the Mobile version has all the costumes already in the core game. (I know White Day from mobile) I recommend the game, but wait for sale.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The stalker character, who isn't even really that scary, is so annoying to deal with. He moves super slowly through his path, sees you from anywhere unless you're crouching, and randomly appears super close to you for no reason. You'll spend most of the game running back to the same place to hide. Sometimes you will get cornered in weird spots and just die. There's a ton of super cryptic puzzles that are impossible to figure out unless you look them up. Finally, there are so many moments where…

And the overall idea was.. nice? i think. what i mean with that is that the overall idea of "a school full of ghost" is not that new and inovative, and there are game who structured that even better in my opinion. But is not bad? I mean, the story and the general idea of the game. I actually liked the ending. (this game has multiple endings and I got only one for now). Some dialogues are cryptic and…

neutral · AI labelView post →Somehow i feel like this game was supposed to be 18+, but somewhere mid-development devs decided to turn it into a mediocre horror/puzzlecollect all deaths simulator. I know that's probably not the case, but it also has a bazillion spicy skins to buy, so... The story is actually not that bad. It's not good, either, just OK, but it's told very poorly. Gameplay, when you get the hang of it after about 10-15 minutes, is quite shallow, i expected more. Supposedly this game has replayability due to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only suitable sentence to describe my feeling towards this game is "I love to hate it." Why? The game is short but still meaningful and engaging, I like that. But then I realized it's designed to be short so that players can replay again after completing it to see different paths (or routes) by choosing different responses for the female characters. Honestly, I didn't enjoy that. I wish each choice led to completely different situations instead of just small changes to the same quests and…

Don't even bother chasing the perfect ending had my attempt fail twice because of talking to the character in between dialogue choices and another because I walked too far behind or ahead of the characters love interest during a specific scene.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →would be an amazing horror game with a great atmosphere and setting, however the janitor is absolutely pointless, brings nothing good to the game, no fun, no suspense, no feeling of being on your seat, it only brings you anger, annoyance, and the feeling of wasting your money on the game. He sees through walls, stays in your exact area, gives you absolutely no breathing room what so ever. It completely ruined the game for me, i was having a blast and ready to put this on the list of my top…

The game is packed with lore, and I love how you get to uncover the backstories of different ghosts as you progress through the game. Also, I'm sure that the swimsuit DLC makes the second playthrough even better. I don't own it, but I have absolutely no doubts about it. 🔥

I initially bought it for the goon sesh in my goon folder of steam but it's a challenging game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly good, I feel like the game is shorter if you know where to go and know how the AI (Janitor) works, but definitely fun to try and get all the achievements (some are easy, some are time consuming, some need a guide to make sure you it right). Definitely worth checking out if you want a Silent Hill type game and miss classic PS2 vibes (this is the PS4 remake).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Waiting in a corner crouching simulator for 5 mins just to get caught anyways simulator. Frustrations simulator. Wasted potential simulator. One of the worst games I've played. And I've played Dustborn.
