White Day: A Labyrinth Named School Reviews
It may feature a distinct premise yet White Day: A Labyrinth Named School manages to become tedious thanks to its repetitious setting.
With its decidedly older-school approach to survival horror and more mundane “scares”, this won’t be a win for everyone
My final thought on Whiteday: A Labyrinth Named School is that while it’s a huge upgrade from the original version. It just doesn’t give you that feeling of playing a survival horror game that shakes you to the core
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is, simply, an excellent game. If you haven’t played it yet, you should. The new wave of re-releases of it, for the modern consoles, but especially the Nintendo Switch, give you the chance to do that. So, if you missed it last year, here are your Halloween chills for 2022 served up to you.
Fans of classic survival-horror must not miss White Day: A Labyrinth Named School. It may not look like much, but it uses its limitations to enhance the uncanny ambiance. The chilling scares make it the ultimate Halloween game.
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is a somewhat uneven package, arguably held back by how dated the jump scares and obtuse nature of the puzzles feel. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth experiencing, though – if you value an uncomfortable, oppressive atmosphere in your survival horror, along with a haunting and compelling story, then White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is definitely worthy of your time.
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is a great experience for those looking for nostalgic old school survival horror. What it lacks in modern day graphics and mechanics it makes up for with a plethora of lore and swimsuit DLCs. Still, many questionable and outdated design choices hold it back from being truly amazing.
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is a wonderful classic horror title that will scare you silly. With horrifying ghost encounters, challenging puzzles, and a demented janitor, you'll be tested and petrified. What's more, it has multiple endings to keep you coming back for more.
Overall this game may have some flaws but it did entertain me for two playthroughs and really what more could I ask of a video game? If you are in this strictly for the horror you may find yourself a little disappointed but if you enjoy lore hunting and digging into the meat and potatoes of the story around you, I would suggest giving this a try. I’m giving this game 3.7 Stars out of 5.
To conclude, I believe White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is a must play if survival horror is your cup of tea. It has everything you'd want in a horror from challenges, scares and bone chilling suspense that'll cause you nightmares. I find playing this game in a dark room with some friends makes the experience that more enjoyable when you have someone to throw the controller to when your nerves just can't take it anymore. And if you want to heighten that experience the game is available on Steam with the Ultimate Edition, DLC included. I'm giving this game an 8.5 out of 10 for being spectacularly spooky.
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is one of those games you need to try in your free time. At first look, you may dislike the graphics and its characters, but if you give it a second chance, it might be able to fascinate you. However, besides having its strengths, there are some gameplay related issues which may cause you to stop playing the game halfway.

White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is an entertaining horror game that hits all the right notes. There's plenty of content to experience, not to mention several difficulty settings so that players of all skill levels can enjoy its story and setting. If you're looking for a horror game on PS4 to scratch that itch, then you definitely need to check this one out!
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is an interesting horror, which connects urban legends in the style of Korean horror movies with good puzzles. Annoying factors and some flaws seriously spoil the final impressions, but if you like exploration, reading notes and logical solutions in games, this project will give you a lot of fun.

The game had a lot of potential and some really cool ideas, but it messes up so badly with the janitor and some clunky design that it’s virtually irredeemable.
An education in frustration.
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is no way a perfect horror game, quite frankly far from it, but what it has going for it is a nostalgic charm and some really cool ideas that many developers should take a note of. For serious enthusiasts, it will be a real treat as it changes up a lot of the typical horror formula.
White Day certainly has some things going for it, it has great atmosphere, the puzzles are all fun to do and the optional ghost scenes are all really interesting. But when it comes down to it there’s really nothing else going for it besides these things. The AI can be wonky at times and there will be some frustrating deaths. The story is kinda barebones but forgivable. I would suggest this game to someone who is a mega-fan of horror games, but not to someone who isn’t since there are WAY better games out there. All things considered, I think the game is just alright.
It’s not a game for everyone. As a remake of a cult classic with a reputation to maintain and loyal fans to come through for, the new White Day is a sound investment. Those enrolling blind may end up taking the withdrawal.
Retaining the charm of a classic horror game with focus on survival and exploration, White Day attempts to bring Asian horror elements into the mix and presents an interesting story premise that urges you to uncover its mysteries. However, some of the dated gameplay mechanics appear as a blemish on an otherwise great game.
