    A very special horror game that will leave something inside you after you play it. The attractive visuals, intelligent use of light and morbid story behind it are its greatest assets.

    It has some aspects that should have been polished, but it's unique and interesting, and definitely recommended.

    Just enough obstacles exist to make that story feel as though it was earned, that the player participated in the telling, but conveying the story is the priority.

    White Night is not very effective as a horror game, but its puzzles, lightning gameplay mechanics and creepy atmosphere work much better.

    Its few shortcomings aren't to be overlooked, however, as its sluggish, frequently directionless, and deliberately archaic in its design. Don't come in expecting jump scares and big gore; this is a slow-burning experience with an emphasis on style and atmosphere.

    White Night is a collection of already explored mechanics dressed in a peculiar, elegant and often uncomfortable suit. Very stylish, but too dull and punishing when it comes to actual gameplay.

    Logic, as well as quality, seems to have taken an early night. [May 2015, p.83]

Its a puzzle game with a chilling and yet engrossing story which makes you want to play to the end to find out the fates of certain characters. The story is laid out across the game by a series of photos, diaries, newspaper clippings and ghostly encounters.

    White Night is a stylish and nicely told haunting story, played out in a light-based puzzler.

    The positives are the voice acting, the art    White Night is a stylish and nicely told haunting story, played out in a light-based puzzler.

    The positives are the voice acting, the art style and the story. It really does create an awesome little atmosphere. Unfortunately, as a horror fan, it fails to take that final step into actual scaring me. In comparison on the PS4, the Playable Trailer demo for Silent Hill had me leaping out of my armchair and I think some of my hair turned white it was so eerie and damn scary, White Night has a few cheeky appearances that'll get your attention, but never to the level where you'll fill your pants.

    The only other downfall is in its pace. It's a very slow moving game with mostly obvious puzzles that require you to find keys and pick up odd items and use them in the room you previously visited. I'm near completing the game now and its been fun, worth it for the price - especially if you're a puzzler fan, and especially if it comes in a PSN sale.    … Expand

I guess there isn't really a "Contains ghosts but isn't horror" category), but when it put ghosts in my way and tells me "Ghosts can be killed by light" I spent ages trying to find the puzzle that would remove them. It turns out it isn't expecting me to solve puzzles, I'm just meant to rush past them and hope I don't get hit and instantly die. For me personally, all of the many stylish and positive points are let down by this, and I simply never went back to play it again.… Expand
