Overall I like the game and it stills one of my favorites. The plot is well thinking and it reminds a lot asian horror movies. If you're a fan of horror games and asian movies you will surely enjoy this game ✌️ Despite this, the game may be really overwhelming : - First, the game have a total of 10 different endings (maybe too much for some people). But if you want to get "Memory of White Day" achievement, you have to clear all endings 5 times in all modes : Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard and Hell. So you have to play the game 50 TIMES, really excessive in my opinion. *Plus, there are no save option in Hell mode. So you must be able to clear the 10 endings without dying and complete them before turn off the game. - The answer options for dialogue with girls can be a real challenge when you're trying to achieve a specific ending. Even if some answers are very similar, if you chose a wrong one you will be automatically redirected to a different ending. - The game offers so many items and things to discover that the player can quickly feel overwhelmed and give up on doing everything. Only to find all Ghost Stories and encounter all school ghosts take a lot of time, because most of them appears only in Hell mode and under specific circumstances. In short, complete all achievements and endings will take a lot of time and patience. I did all of them and get all achievements, but personally I recommend to play this game to enjoy the story.

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 but executed poorly. While the interactive mechanics present intriguing concepts not commonly found in games, the reality is that much of the gameplay revolves around searching through shelves and cupboards, often yielding nothing. This raises the question: what is the purpose of such extensive searching? The Puzzles: uuuffffff I appreciate the effort to encourage players to find clues independently within their surroundings and documents, particularly at higher difficulty levels. This approach is refreshing in an era where many games provide solutions too readily. The option to select a difficulty level that includes hints is also commendable. However, the game’s vastness, both in narrative and environment, can be a double-edged sword. Exploring these expansive areas can be time-consuming, especially when combined with less-than-ideal interactivity mechanics. It’s frustrating to encounter seemingly irrelevant details or choices that distract from the core experience. For example, one puzzle requires knowledge of Japanese to decipher a code, and there are only a couple of items in the entire game that contain hidden codes. These design choices can lead to moments of confusion that make it nearly impossible to progress without a guide, potentially resulting in hours of fruitless effort. The story itself is engaging, even if its surreal elements are not to my taste. I particularly enjoy the ghost stories woven throughout the narrative. Quality: The voice acting and animations are superb, although the character interactions could use improvement. The behavior of the janitors can be particularly frustrating; they have an uncanny ability to detect the player from great distances, leaving little room for stealth. When seeking refuge, be prepared for extended waiting times as they search the area. There are also minor bugs present, and their impact can be exacerbated during tense moments, such as when you find yourself reloading an auto-save while being pursued by a janitor. Summary: This game offers a lot of value, especially when purchased at a discount, considering its quality. However, players should be prepared for a significant amount of aimless wandering and the occasional frustration of needing to consult a guide to fully appreciate its depth.

For anyone complaining about this game being hard: What did you expect from a Survival Horror Game??? White Day OG and Remastered have in many ways perfected the genre. The difficulty of the Janitor makes every second of the game intense knowing that at any time you could hear their audio cue and have to instantly change how you're playing to not be discovered by them. The game is completely fair with them too, if you learn how to bait them properly they can easily be avoided. Not only that but the game isn't just a "Hide until they leave" if you stay too idle for too long you're punished. The game forces you to balance new environments with looming threats and it seems to me that too many people are accustomed to the newer style of Survival Horror where you can stop the threats easily. The puzzles can be daunting if you aren't prepared but they are all self contained and able to be completed without a guide (except maybe one). The game makes you think for a lot of it and trying to brute force it will not work The Ghost's and Lore of the game are all well made, if you enjoy Korean/Japanese ghost stories you'll love them in this game. Each one is able to be encountered (though to do so requires certain levels of difficulty to be played) The overall game lore is also incredibly interesting and as someone who's enjoyed the original I quite enjoyed the updated story. If you come to this game expecting cheap scares and easy to deal with enemies i'm sorry to inform you this isn't going to be a game you enjoy. If you want a challenging stealth, horror, puzzle game this is what you'll want to pick up. There's plenty of replay value with a multitude of endings and pick up's that can be found/missed in every play-through. This game is wonderful and deserves more of a following. It's not perfect but no game is, however this is a game I believe everyone should experience at one point or another for anyone that enjoys the genre.

This game is the epitome of having the potential to be one of the best I ever played. That is, if it wouldn't be so dumb. It has very high "highs" and very low "lows". In other words, as much as it could amaze me, it could infuriatingly frustrate me. The highest "high" is the scale of the game. There are many endings, secrets, options, items, details, locations etc. Which makes me very sad, because I would lose all my hair trying to experience it all, being the very low "lows". Most aspects of this game are a very cool attempt, executed poorly. The interactive mechanics are interesting, something you don't find in a lot of games, but at the same time total garbage. Not only do you have to look for every little detail, but 90% of the game is looking into a shelf, cupboard, whatever... and finding nothing at all. What's the point? THE PUZZLES. I love the attempt to make it "find the clues yourself in your surroundings and documents without hints" (if you play on difficulty normal or higher). I've been craving this for a very long time, because most games lack this and just give you the solution on a silver plate, not letting you think at all. And I love that the game also lets you choose a difficulty where you actually have hints. BIG HOWEVER. As aforementioned, this game is gigantic, not only story-wise but location-wise as well. Which is a great thing. However, it takes an eternity to explore. In correlation with the crap interact-ability mechanics, you can't find shit. They're either stupid details, stupid choices by the developers, or just stupid mechanics. TWO GREAT EXAMPLES: [*]there is one code you can decipher only if you know Japanese. [*]there are only like two pick-able items in the whole game that have a code hidden somewhere on them. It would never even cross my mind to look for that in the first place, and it only happens twice, from like 50+ items you pick up along the way. You literally cannot finish this game without a guide or some other third-party informationist, if you're not willing to bang your head against the wall for tens of hours straight. The story isn't bad, even though the bizarre superphantasmagoria isn't really my cup of tea, but I like everything regarding the ghost stories. The voice acting and animations are amazing back to back, but I hate the character interactions. The janitors' are just cunts. You barely have any place to hide, and they can smell your bone marrow across several rooms. And when you hide, be prepared to doomscroll on your phone because it takes forever for them to leave your vicinity. The game has some minor bugs, but when they happen you know they do. You, constantly loading to an autosave, with one of the janitors sniffing your 1HP butt crack with the last manual save being half an hour old. Overall, very good game, for an extremely low price at a discount considering the quality, but you have to be prepared to roam around pointlessly a lot and trying not to break your shins once you find what you've been missing in a guide.

The janitor and I formed a special bond through our time together. Whenever I'd feel lonely all I had to do was turn on some lights, he'd come running and he would turn them off. Open doors, he'd close them. I remember many times hiding in the toilets, wondering if he'd find me. ME! An invisible boy, but alas he never saw me, only had eyes for the girls. One day while I was sipping some soy milk, some crazy lady took my janitor from me, she then chased me, up, up, UP, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, taking tranquilizers all the way, eventually I made it to the top but alas when I pulled the school alarm, nothing happened, she then stabbed me, and I died right next to my janitor. Oh sweet janitor, how I miss your jingle jangle, your sweet melodic whistle, we'll be together now my sweet. My last words, I inscribe herein thusly: "Musta been the wind baybee" 10/10 So-Young best girl.
