According to “Roygames”, the publisher of remake version of White day, it’s coming to Sony’s ‘PS4’[PlayStation4] next year and it will be using VR[virtual reality] headset as its main display.

Originally published by ‘Sonnori’ in 2001, the game takes place at a high school. The story is pretty simple. The protagonist, who wanted to leave a gift for a girl he had a crush on afterschool, gets locked up and he finds out that the school is filled with monsters and ghosts. He has to survive until morning sun rises.
