The sequel to 2001’s White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is slowly starting to show itself after almost two years since it was announced.

After its PC beginnings (and a decade and a half), the South Korean horror game has made its way to consoles, and since its success, we’ve heard that a second installment is in the works for March 2021, and it’s being developed by Rootnstudio (we won’t write its name in all caps…). “A rumor spread among the students that Sung-ah’s ghost had appeared in Yeondu High School, where the accident occurred on March 14. People didn’t believe in ghosts and care about them, but a few recalled the memories of the past again. A girl among them went to the closed school late at night to escape from the yoke of her nightmare caused by the death of Sung-ah. But the girl wasn’t the only one who came to school at the time. They set forth to the school to reveal the truth of that day and find each other’s lies. Tonight, they were being swallowed up by the school once again,” the game’s website says of the story.

The site also revealed three characters: “Soo-jin – Maybe it’s because she grew up lonely in a low-income family, she is bolder than necessary and straightforward with great pride. She came to like Sung-tae, who is in the same class, but Sung-tae likes Sung-ah. Misunderstanding that Sung-ah told the teacher that she had smoked, she went around the school, saying she would kill Sung-ah, but coincidentally that night, Sung-ah died in a fire in the school’s home economics practice room. People suspect that Soo-jin killed Sung-ah, but to prove her innocence to her crush Sung-tae, she suggests to Sung-tae to go to Yeondu High School together one year after graduation, on the night of March 14, 2001.

Sung-tae – With a timid personality, he liked Sung-ah, who was kind to him. At first, he thought Soo-jin’s unruly behavior was bothering him, but the more he got to know Soo-jin, the more he discovered that Soo-jin was trying to hide what she felt inside. While his intimate feelings toward Soo-jin grow, there is an incident in which Sung-ah dies in a fire in the home economics practice room. Since that incident, he couldn’t refute people’s suspicion that Soo-jin killed Seong-ah, and he had a nightmare and felt guilty that he is also suspicious of Soo-jin. In the end, he graduated while remaining ambiguous with Soo-jin, but one day he received an offer from Soo-jin to go to Yeondu High School together.

Seo-yeon – Seo-yeon’s father, who was working as a Korean language teacher at Yeondu High School, fell off the school roof late at night and his death case was closed as suicide. Unable to believe that her father had committed suicide, to find the truth of her father’s death, she entered and graduated from Yeondu High School and went back to school to do teaching practice. She found out that dead souls were trapped in the school from several clues over the years. She decided to free their soul to send them to heaven, including her father’s. On the night of March 14, 2001, she went towards Yeondu High School.”

There’s also a fourth character not named with “Coming soon” as the additional comment. White Day 2: The Flower That Tells Lies is in development for PC (Steam). No other target platforms, nor the release window, is known.
