‘White Day: A Labyrinth Named School’ Gets September Release, Including Physical PS5 and Switch Versions
Initially announced for release this fall on PlayStation 5, publisher PQube and developer SONNORI have revealed that White Day: A Labyrinth Named School will be released on September 8 for for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch. And for those who like physical copies, the PlayStation 5 and Switch versions will have a physical release in addition to digital.
Originally released for the PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam, White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is a Korean Survival Horror title that has been rebuilt and localized from its original 2001 release. Considered by fans to be “one of the scariest games ever made”, White Day centres on Hee-Min Lee, who on the eve of the gift-giving holiday White Day (the Asian equivalent of Valentine’s Day), sneaks into school to hide a box of candies for a girl he fancies. Unfortunately for him, the school shutters slam shut, and Lee finds himself trapped in the building overnight. Complicating matters is the fact that he’s now being hunted by the school’s janitor, as well as being haunted by the souls of the dead that remain in the school.
White Day features 20 unique ghosts for you to encounter (and avoid), as well as a dynamic scare system, where the higher the difficulty, the more terrors you encounter. In addition to surviving and trying to make your way out of the school, you’ll also discover hidden secrets, ghost stories and ten different endings that are dependent on your actions in the game.
Thanks to Gematsu for the heads up.

Table Inspired by 2022’s ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ Coming to ‘Pinball M’ on June 6 [Trailer]
Zen Studios’ horror-themed pinball game Pinball M will be adding another property to its lineup of tables, this time with a table inspired by David Blue Garcia‘s 2022 film Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Players will be able to carve up their victims on June 6, with what’s being referred to as “one of the most brutal pinball tables ever created.”
Players will take on the role of Leatherface (in pinball form, obviously), as you terrorize the new arrivals who have dared to come into your town. Just like in the film, you can rev the chainsaw and have a bloodbath on the bus, or sneak up on your unsuspecting victims by shooting the correct targets. Maim and massacre all survivors in order to reach Pinball M‘s Wizard Mode.
“The brutal and unnerving legacy of Leatherface comes to life once again in pinball form,” said Mel Kirk, COO of Zen Studios. “Designer Zoltan Vari did not hold back at all. Players can expect a brutal, bloody, and maniacal table worthy of joining Pinball M.”
Pinball M already has quite the lineup of tables inspired by Universal horror properties. In addition to crossovers with Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight, 3D Realms’ Duke Nukem and Nightdive’s System Shock remake, players can also dive into tables inspired by John Carpenter’s The Thing and Child’s Play.
Of course, if you want the real thing, you can check out Spooky Pinball LLC‘s officially-licensed Texas Chainsaw Massacre machine.
Pinball M is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
