White Day: A Labyrinth Named School
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is the 2017 remake of Sonnori’s Korean survival horror. Hee-min Lee sneaks into Yeondu High School at ten at night to return a classmate’s diary and leave her White Day sweets, and the door locks behind him. This walkthrough covers everything you do yourself, the solutions to every puzzle, where all twenty Ghost Stories documents are and how to see every ghost for the collection. Story branches and endings turn on dialogue choices and are not listed here; the actions below are the same on every branch. Played on Hard (version 1.03 with the 2017 DLC).
How the game plays
Keyboard and mouse; the bindings are under Settings. Right click skips cutscenes and dialogue. Tab or right click opens the game menu: Bag (inventory), Documents, Map (floor plans), Messages, System. The bag sorts items into Keys, Medicine (food and drink restore body and mind), Useful (coins for the vending machines, markers for saving) and Misc (collection items). Saving happens only at notice boards and costs one marker each; six slots. Collections: ghosts, figurines (Hell mode), costumes and endings. Everything interactive glows faintly. The janitors patrol: crouch, watch for the torch beam, hide; if seen, run and slam doors behind you, and the safest hiding place is a toilet cubicle. Use the lighter (R) rather than room lights above Easy.
Chapter 1: Main Building, Section 1
Ground floor
Lobby: Key Handover Log on the notice board (where the map is); Building Maintenance note in the janitor’s box left of the side corridor door (tools and a ladder near the workshop, steam valves); Ghost Story 7, The Secret of the Pond, on the floor behind the water cooler. A marker in the sink, a paper crane in the grandfather clock’s drawer, a marker on the radiator and cigarettes on the far cubicle in the boys’ toilet, a coin in the girls’ sink. Pencil drawing 1/10 by the classroom door (all ten unlock Ji-min Yoo for a second run). The cabinet drawer between the windows has a hidden hotspot underneath. Class 2-6: the class president’s note (trophy counts as a safe combination, solvent), the school register with the map, soy milk. The side corridor door is now open: two girls; Ji-hyeon leaves you with Seong-ah, who wants the home economics key from the workshop, reachable through the vent she points at. Side corridor: wire cutters from the corner table, the ladder at the end with a vent note, the tool bag on the floor (hotspot), a coin by the machine; drawings 2/10 by the economics door and 3/10 between the workshop doors; the locked box with characters. Ladder under the vent in the girls’ toilet, climb, cutters on the grille, in. Through a side grille you witness a murder. Steam blocks the way: left, left at the fork, turn the valve; back, forward, left at the junction, right at the dead end, second valve; back to the steam pipe, forward, cutters on the grille, drop into the workshop.
Workshop: alarm, a symbol on the floor; the engineer’s note on the safe: connect only sockets three and four; at the panel turn the three wire tiles so only terminals three and four are live. The safe drops the home economics key and the Metal Sign; note the key-combining device on the table. Seong-ah takes the key and gives the central corridor key. Central corridor: the limping janitor with a bat chases you; Ji-hyeon pulls you into the records room. Records room: the lighter, a weight under the desk, maintenance notes (the key combiner), Ghost Story 5, The Ghost Tree, under the copier lid. Main office: the coded character box on the wall, maintenance request (creaking floor by the music room in Section 2), soy milk, a marker on the sill. Side corridor from stair 2: Metal Sign on the door with characters in the metal shutter; another sign lights on the far door. Up stair 2.
First floor
Note the strange plant in the stair corridor. Central corridor left: So-young’s class 2-8, locked like most; a coin on the far sill; drawings 6/10 under the 2-8 sign and 7/10 between 2-9 and 2-10; two mailboxes. Lobby: coin on the sill, the janitor’s mailbox note: the password is inside the tools we often use, and two more plants. Ground floor tool bag: the belt, digits on the tool ends (random). Main office box: that code gives the auditorium key and a small red key. First floor lobby: the auditorium key opens the side corridor; round the corner a hanged girl drops and crawls; go back. Ji-hyeon rises from the strange tree; So-young comes out of 2-8; the building shakes and branches drag her in.
Saving So-young (timed, ten minutes on Normal)
Destroy the five plants, then the tree in class 2-2; the janitor stays away meanwhile. Pick up her master key. Side corridor, first door right, the hiking club: purchase request form, the warning about spray near flame, insect spray in the far corner. Right, storage room: the Written Letter with a sequence (in this run 96-94-86-83, random), the trophy cabinet: count medals per year; the safe: left to the 1996 count, right to 1994, left to 1986, right to 1983 (here 4, 2, 5, 9). Take the solvent. Lobby: solvent on the first plant right, the second in the left niche; through the character door, downstairs; side corridor plant three; stair 2 corridor plant four; upstairs plant five; back down to class 2-2: solvent on the trunk, dodge the branch left then right, spray. Timer off. Then collect everything before taking the Tree Sign from 2-8 (the janitor does not appear until you do), and use it on the door by stair 2.
