Developer ROOTNSTUDIO has announced that rather than take an episodic format for the release of White Day 2: The Flower That Tells Lies (with episode one having been released a year ago), the developer has instead decided to release the complete game to Steam, which is available now. Not only that, but they’ll be bringing the Complete Edition of the game to the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series later this year.
“As you may know, White Day 2: The Flower That Tells Lies was originally released episodically, with episodes 2 and 3 functioning as DLC pack add-ons for episode 1,” reads ROOTNSTUDIO’s announcement. “The Complete Edition replaces this format, so players only need to purchase and download one package into their Steam library for a cleaner experience.
So what does this mean for existing owners? If you have purchased White Day 2: The Flower That Tells Lies – Episode 1, you will now find the Complete Edition in your library. This means that you will receive the following items completely free of charge as a thank you for your continued support.”
The sequel to White Day: A Labyrinth Named School, White Day 2 sees various individuals trapped once again in Yeondu High School, where they must investigate bizarre phenomena, avoid possessed policemen, and discover hidden clues. The first episode sees student Jung Soo-jin determined to dispel rumours of her involvement in the death of a fellow student and regain the trust of her crush Jang Sung-tae. But as the pair search for clues, they learn of a far darker secret deep within the bowels of the school, and become prey in a relentless hunt.
Episode 2 involves former teacher-in-training Kang Seo-yeon, who arrives at the school to investigate the ambiguous circumstances surrounding her father’s passing on the school grounds. Drawing on her knowledge of the occult, Seo-yeon attempts to reverse an ancient ritual while evading a powerful and malicious ghost that is inexorably drawn to her.
Lastly, Episode 3 centres on 1st year student Yoo Ji-min, who is searching for a way to bring peace to the restless spirit of Han Na-young. Delving deeper into the tragic history of the school and the complex relationships between its students, Ji-min makes a fateful discovery that will lift the veil of obscurity once and for all.
