Violence and reactions are unrealistic in nature: there’s not much detail, though the corpses of units remain on the ground. However, some of the illustrations used in the cut-scenes feature scenes of somewhat realistic violence towards human-like characters, involving small amounts of blood. This game contains use of the words 'bastard', 'shit' and 'bloody'.

Advice for consumers

This game has received a PEGI 18 which restricts availability to ADULTS ONLY and is not suitable for persons under 18 years of age. This rating has been given because it features violence against vulnerable and defenceless characters.

Brief outline of the game

Sequel to the 2016 Korean horror game, 'White Day: A Labyrinth Named School', which continues the story of the haunted Yeondu High School. Players explore the school after hours and solve puzzles while avoiding security, the homicidal janitor, and the vengeful spirits that roam the halls.

Content specific issues

This game features strong violence during cinematic scenes, including sight of characters being hit, battered or stabbed to death, and pushed down stairs. Violence towards the player's character is only implied, because of the game's first person perspective, with red blood splattering onto the screen and 'Game Over' appearing when the player is defeated. Some of the violence involves vulnerable and defenceless characters, including a character who is bound to a chair and unable to escape from a burning room, and a character's hand being struck, causing them to fall from the ledge they are holding on to. There are references to suicide. Some murders, including hangings, are made to look as if they were suicides. There is also a scene in which a person appears to cut their own throat. While the cutting is not shown, the character does collapse into a pool of blood.

Other issues

The game also features scenes of horror, including jump scares when ghouls appear and when the player's character is chased by them. Some of these ghosts are shown re-enacting the moments that led up to their own deaths, including hanging from walls and ceilings or falling from stairwells, often disappearing into the ether just before their corpse is shown. Corpses are often seen throughout the game, some with no visible injuries, others rotting or skeletal, in bloodstained clothing or locations. There are references to watching porn, although no sexual content is depicted, as well as references to smoking.
