If he catches up to the player, he repeatedly hits them with his bat until they die. When one of the two Janitors finds the player, he blows his whistle and chases the player until they outrun him or hide successfully. The dialog choices the player makes when interacting with the NPCs affect the story progression and the ending. The player must navigate through the school and escape unharmed. The player assumes the role of Lee Hui-min, a typical male high school student who cooperates with other students that are trapped in the school: Han So-yeong, Seol Ji-hyeon and Kim Seong-ah. The game has its own head-up display, where there is a heartbeat icon showing the health condition, a compass acquired early in the game, and a square showing the current equipped item. The game has multiple difficulty modes to choose from hard and real difficulties are unlocked later. White Day is a first person survival horror with numerous adventure game elements and a plot background based on the ancient Chinese religious studies of Taoism (mainly Wu Xing, Feng Shui and Qi). Some sort of resurrection ritual would be incredibly dangerous, I do not want to risk it. And what if a source of Qi from the afterlife was so strong, it could do this on its own? This school has more threats than I thought. What if the wrong source of Qi from the afterlife were to go into the wrong dead body? If that were to happen, then the dead body would become possessed. I desperately wanted to further investigate this, but I had to acknowledge the risks. Let me explain, if you were to find a source of Qi (energy) somewhere in the school coming from the afterlife, and that Qi belonged to the person you're trying to resurrect, if you were to reverse the Qi emanated from the cycle of the dead persons life, you could effectively put the Qi from the afterlife back into its dead body. I found a possible way to resurrect people from the dead. After more days of research, I theorized about this. The possession is explained in one of the notes in the game. The Master moved onto the now partially revived Seong-ah and possessed her for the next three years as an empty vessel and posed as a normal student. Shortly after, Na-yeong tried to resist the Master of the Labyrinth's possession and was forced to hang herself. Her mother lost her sanity and the music teacher committed suicide. Seong-ah was partially revived and the Master, taking advantage of this, took the empty body/vessel to possess. The seals also had to be broken one by one, with some seals having to remain unbroken while the land regains its strength otherwise, the spirits will go to the afterlife if all of them are broken. They successfully called Na-yeong to the school at night, but the ritual failed because the Master of the Labyrinth interfered and prevented Na-yeong from being sacrificed. A person to break the seals using the amulets (one who sees ghosts – the music teacher, Ji-won).A person who calls the dead (Seong-ah's mother, Choi Eun-mi).To revive the dead, three people were needed: Ji-won decided to help her out to prove his theory. One day, Seong-ah's mother Eun-mi visited him and asked him to resurrect her daughter. The music teacher, Ji-won, had discovered the school's past and began to study it and strongly believed that he could resurrect the dead using the power of feng shui in the area. Seong-ah became trapped in the school because of the amulet's power and could not pass on. Na-yeong began resisting the Master of the Labyrinth. One day, in 1998, a lab fire broke out in the Home Economics room, resulting in the death of Seong-ah, a very close friend of Na-yeong (So-yeong's older sister). One spirit, the "Master of the Labyrinth" could not stand being unable to escape the school's hold and sought a way to escape it. This was kept a secret from that day onwards. However, it also locked all the spirits inside the school and prevented them from going to the afterlife. A geomancer was brought in to construct 5 amulets representing the five elements (Wu Xing), who spread them around the school to balance feng shui and to prevent the spirits from interfering with the living. Many visitors and builders died during the building's construction which awakened the power (Qi) from the imbalance of feng shui and the ghosts from the hospital's past. The school was a hospital during the Korean War. It is said that the area used to be a perfect natural landscape before it was built. Yeondu High School's construction unbalanced feng shui around the area.
