Publisher PQube and Korean game development studio SONNORI announced that they will be releasing the survival horror game White Day: A Labyrinth Named School for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Switch in September 2022.
The PlayStation 5 and Switch versions will be available both physically and digitally and will include over 30 costumes that were originally released as downloadable content. The physical version for PS5 is currently available to preorder for $39.99 on Target’s website.
The developers provided a synopsis of the game via their official website:
On the eve of the gift-giving holiday White Day, new Yeondu High School student, Lee Hee-min, sneaks into school to hide a box of candies for the girl of his dreams. But when the shutters slam shut, he finds himself trapped in the building overnight, hunted by killer janitors and haunted by the troubled souls of the dead.
Can Hee-min remain hidden while searching for clues to uncover the dark secrets of the building’s past? Or will the horrors that stalk the school’s eerie hallways by night claim his life before he can escape? With no weapons and limited supplies, there’s little room for error in this tense, stealth-based, Korean Horror classic, brimming with secrets, branching stories, and multiple endings.
