White Night is a great concept with a really nice art style. The atmosphere it provides is incredibly convincing and genuinely unsettling, right up until the time that the perceived threat becomes a reality and things take a nosedive. A tad more polish would have seen this become a real benchmark for the genre, but a number of missed steps mean that it will likely just fade into the darkness.

For as much as 'White Night' brings to the table on an innovative standpoint, it equally misses the mark by failing to ensure gameplay isn't hampered by wonky camera angles and de-evolved save mechanics. Still, the noir setting, visuals, and clever puzzles to solve, coupled with a generally creepy back-story, makes 'White Night' at least a minor point of interest to genre fans (both those of survival horror and the 1930s hardboiled detective).

White Night is an excellent proposal of classic horror, with a fantastic setting and artwork. A must if you are afraid of the dark: the experience gains many points.

OSome enters the world of video games with a first title that knows how to assert itself with its great successes. Aware of their limits, they propose a simple but very showy visual style that serves as the main attraction. Even so, once inside, the narrative flows in an interesting and mysterious way, drawing attention to the big questions that appear as we progress through the plot.

White Night is a surprise that, bringing together the usual elements of the most popular horror titles, as well as the best noir cinema of the 30s, makes us part of a work capable of catching us from start to finish. Despite its short duration or technical drawbacks, White Night is highly recommended.

White Night is a curious game, even if it's a bit predictable. With its references to two distinct genres, where unexpected twists and turns are welcome and interesting, it instead plays it safe. The game's big redeeming qualities are its style and presentation but without much in the way of story and gameplay to complete the package. If nothing else, your morbid curiosity may help you to see this one through to the end.

White Night is likely to be a game that only the hardcore survival horror fans enjoy due to its old school survival horror design but it is definitely something worth considering if you fit the target audience. Just don't go into it expecting an all out action extravaganza. This is a slow and methodical game that, if you take your time with it, has a unique charm.

White Night is a simple, scary ghost story and it’s absolutely fantastic. Horror stories have lost their way over the years, White Night takes a simple approach to a classic idea and it works perfectly. The game has a real charm that I have not found in another game for quite some time. It’s ascetically pleasing which enhances the experience so much. Whether you like horror games or not, I highly suggest you face the fear and play this game. It’s a welcome break from the norm and is such an enjoyable treat to play.

Presented in black and white and featuring a great story, White Night should satisfy horror adventure fans. There’s no combat to be found here, and expect a ton of reading, but if that’s your thing you’ll find lots to enjoy here.
