The plan by PQube (publisher) and Sonnori (developer) was scuppered when a US hypermarket chain listed a new version of the survival horror game.
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School has long been available on iOS, Android and PC on Steam, so it’s not going to be a new game, but a new version of it. According to Target, the PlayStation 5 port will be released on September 30, so it may not be a placeholder date, as it falls on Friday, plus it’s also the last day of the quarter.
The PlayStation 5 version will include over thirty costumes, originally released as DLC, as standard, and will cost $40 overseas. Its sequel, White Day 2: The Flower That Tells Lies, is already officially in the works, and PQube is supposed to make a White Day announcement on May 31, tomorrow. We don’t know if new details about the sequel will be announced or if this will be the only confirmation of the PlayStation 5 port of the first game.
Here’s PQube’s overview of the game: “Steel your nerves for a Korean horror without equal! Step into the shoes of student Hee-Min Lee and brave the terrors of Yeondu High School in a terrifying survival horror game filled with puzzles, secrets and—of course—deadly ghosts. Prepare yourself for one of the most chilling games ever created! On the eve of the gift-giving holiday White Day, new Yeondu High School student Hee-Min Lee slips into school to hide a box of candies for the girl of his dreams. But when the school shutters slam shut, he finds himself trapped in the building overnight, hunted by a killer janitor and haunted by the troubled souls of the dead.
Playing as Hee-Min Lee, can you remain hidden, solve the clues and uncover the dark secrets of the building’s past to survive the deadly threats? Or will the after-class horrors claim your life before you can escape? There’s zero room for error in this tense, stealth-based scarefest brimming with secrets and multiple endings with no weapons to defend yourself.”
It’s not a bad idea to re-release the game, but the 2015 release (Android) itself was a remake of the 2001 original.

![However, an anonymous GOG employee paints an even darker tone of the internal situation: „We were told it’s a financial decision. GOG’s revenue couldn’t keep up with growth, the fact that we’re dangerously close to being in the red has come up in the past few months, and the market’s move towards higher [developer] revenue shares have, or will, affect the bottom line as well.](https://thegeek.games/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/the-gog-1-302x180.jpg)
