It is a complete remake of the original 2001 game of the same name.
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is a fear-inducing, survival horror game viewed, completely from a first-person perspective. It unfolds like a movie. White Day is the story of a young man's trip into a school at the dead of night to deliver some candy in preparation for the Eastern holiday of the same name, White Day, to So-yeong, a girl at school he likes. Finding himself locked up soon after entering, escaping the school now becomes the main objective.
The game is currently available for Android on local Korean store (T store), Google Play Store and on iOS (Apple iTunes store). It is also slated to release on PC and PlayStation 4 (utilizing PlayStation VR) and is due to release in 2016.[5][6] ROI Games are also working on an English translation and will release the game internationally in other languages at a later date.[5]
It is directed and produced by the president of ROI Games, Lee Won Sool; who was the former CEO of Sonnori.[5] This remake version is built on a brand new engine (Unity) and includes graphical improvements and several other features (Ghosts, Ghost Collections, Gameplay Features, Stories and extended plot) not found in the original version of the game. Initially it was shown to be a port of the original game to mobile platforms. It has re-established the game after it was thought to have become an abandonware title.

In March, 2014, Sonnori's hompage got back with a teaser video for a mobile version but closed again. Initially since 2011 the game was being co-developed by Sonnori (the formerly closed company) and Gachyon Soft (judging by promotional material), it started out as a port of the original game to mobile platforms but soon began shaping up into a complete remake. Early footage shows footage of the original game mixed with early preview of the early mobile port, which at the time has been using the assets from the original game, collections (possibly initial version of ghost collections) showcase several enemies / ghosts in their old model appearances, It's unknown if it was running on the old engine or a new one (Unity).
