Rather than just being a digital haunted maze, the game does offer some level of interaction. The janitors completely impede progress and can only be hidden from with a heaping of luck, so triggering a chase often means losing a lot of ground and running far from your objective. This works fine in a game like Outlast where the semi-open-world areas allow for evasion, but the narrow halls of the school mean that patience quickly devolves into annoyance. It takes the Outlast route and strips you of all combat capabilities, forcing you to hide from your enemies. Where things differ is that you canвЂ™t retaliate in White Day. Think of these like an unbeatable Resi boss youвЂ™ve got to evade вЂ“ Nemesis, for example вЂ“ and youвЂ™re halfway there. ThereвЂ™s also murderous janitors who patrol the halls, and will beat you down until theyвЂ™re certain youвЂ™ve no chance of getting back up. The save system even mimics this icon of survival-horror, though youвЂ™ll be picking up marker pens to save progress instead of ink ribbons. You explore the school from a first-person perspective, and must solve obtuse puzzles in order to progress through the labyrinthine hallways and stairwells. White Day plays not too dissimilar from the latest Resident Evil. Ten endings, alternative costumes, ghost diaries вЂ“ thereвЂ™s plenty to sink your teeth into. Fast-forward a few years, and weвЂ™ve got this: a faithful adaptation which not only bolsters the graphics, but adds a selection of new content. In 2015, the first remake launched on smartphones over in Korea, and talk began of a console remaster. ItвЂ™s entirely possible youвЂ™ve never heard of this game (I hadnвЂ™t), but itвЂ™s the second in a line of remakes for a cult classic 2001 Korean horror game. Hijinks ensue, and youвЂ™re soon left trying to escape a pretty horrific situation. Unfortunately, the school locks down, and heвЂ™s trapped inside with other students вЂ“ some of whom may not be entirely friendlyвЂ¦or human. The game opens with Lee Hui-min entering his new school late at night, so he can return a girlвЂ™s diary and leave her a White Day gift. Basically, вЂWhite DayвЂ™ is a Korean holiday which takes place a month after ValentineвЂ™s, and is when young men try to court girls by purchasing them White Day gifts. Yeah, itвЂ™s kind of a strange title, but it makes sense in context.
