### 3/5 — Please UPDATE !!!

*2022-01-07, version 1.3*

I’m purchased the game but that in’t update for 4 years ago. WHAT 

I love this game on PC version but this port…graphic in game not good on iOS 15

The resolution in’t fit with the screen
anti aliasing look bad
Bug everytime when I pause the game…can’t return to the game

At last…I can’t refund SO SAD

### 3/5 — Cool game but I die upon entry and no one at the company would help

*2021-01-04, version 1.3*

I was enjoying playing the game until a glitch in the game saved it on chapter 4 in the attic but I die upon entry every time because one of those ghosts is right there. Contacted the company that makes the game and they were of no help whatsoever, all they need to do is send me a saved the game, but they can’t even do that. Terrible customer service.

### 2/5 — Bonne ambiance mais gameplay déplorable

*2020-11-15, version 1.3*

La navigation est juste horrible et hasardeuse dommage

### 2/5 — Terrible Controls

*2020-10-26, version 1.3*

Spooky game that I really wanted to love. The controls are awful. Simply interacting with objects takes way too long and it's even worst when you need to run away from apparitions.

### 4/5 — 굿굿

*2020-09-02, version 1.3*

으스스한 탈출게임이라 재미있는데 한글화가 안되어서 아쉬움
설정에서 꼭 가상패드로 변경하세요ㅠㅠ 그냥하면 터치방식이라 조작이 너무 불편한데 끝나고 알았음

### 3/5 — Historia muy interesante pero los controles dejan bastante que desear

*2020-06-10, version 1.3*

La historia está muy bien y el diseño. La narración. La banda sonora. Los efectos. La estética. Pero los controles son un asco. Y a veces los objetos están tan confusos y mal ubicados respecto a los posibles movimientos del personaje que puedes gastarte todo el paquete de cerillas solo intentando ver una de las pistas que haga avanzar la historia. Hace 2 años que no se actualiza, y es una pena.

### 3/5 — Muy buen juego malos controles

*2020-04-08, version 1.3*

Es muy difícil controlarlo con el virtual psd y más en tercera persona y con la cámara muy incómoda pero lo demás está muy bien aún que aveces desespera los colores

### 2/5 — Bad controls

*2019-08-11, version 1.3*

The atmosphere and music is cool, but the controls are impossible. You can’t just tap on objects to investigate, you have to tap next to it, wait for your character to be in position, and then once the object is highlighted you can search the item. This is really annoying, especially since the character won’t always face the object, so you have to keep taping - and sometimes you go to press the search icon, but miss so you end up sending the character back across the room. It shouldn’t be this difficult!

Also, it’s really hard to make out anything on an iPhone. Once learning this was a port from a console, I started to understand why it was so awkward. Unless the designers do some major updates, I would caution anyone not to buy this.

### 3/5 — Controls aren’t good

*2019-07-01, version 1.3*

I’m really enjoying the game, but the controls aren’t great, making it hard to interact with objects (you have to stand directly in front of them). I also keep dying because when I try to run away from a ghost I end up in the wrong place.

The game itself is quite difficult but in a good way. Overall I’m glad I bought it.

### 2/5 — Poor control

*2019-06-13, version 1.3*

Poor controlling I cannot escape ghost at chapter 5 I tap tap tap tap
But He stunning and ghost kill me over and over

### 2/5 — Great Game, horrible controls

*2019-05-16, version 1.3*

I own this game on several platforms. The story is great. The controls on the Galaxy 10S Max are terrible.

### 3/5 — Excelente juego peeero...

*2019-02-02, version 1.3*

Muy buen juego, buenas gráficas y tmn buena historia peeero, los controles son muuuuy malos, si hicieran los controles más intuitivos le pondría 5 estrellas.

### 3/5 — Ipad pro 11

*2019-01-25, version 1.3*

Can u optimize the screen for the ipad pro 11 inch, thnaks

### 1/5 — Really wanted to like this game.

*2019-01-08, version 1.3*

Unfortunately the tap controls are iffy at best and the virtual d-pad is programmed incorrectly (you will constantly spin in circles when trying to go left or right and going "down" does nothing). 
The story looks cool though.

### 2/5 — Excellent Story, Horrible Playability

*2018-12-08, version 1.3*

This game is hard to manoeuvre which makes it more frustrating than fun. The story is wonderful, and the black and white noir theme is interesting, but combined with a non-user friendly way to play (you can’t control your main guy very well, the cinematic angles make to see, there’s no map, you can pickup or select items without wasting unnecessary time and walking around aimlessly to try and pick things up, etc) it’s too difficult. Still enjoyable, but perhaps you can revisit how this game feels playing it on an app.

### 1/5 — 게임 진행 저장이 안돼요

*2026-01-02, version 1.3*

환불 해주세요…

### 1/5 — Controller

*2024-01-30, version 1.3*

Need it.

### 1/5 — lentissimo e ingiocabile

*2023-02-24, version 1.3*

difficilissimo muoversi e puntare agli oggetti. Macchinoso come poche cose al mondo

### 1/5 — Dead Dreary

*2021-11-23, version 1.3*

This game is confusing, dull and ultimately not worth your time or the £5 it costs. You spend the entire time stumbling around in darkness with just a lit match to guide you, with. Sry little to show for it. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Zero stars. I need my refund.

*2021-06-08, version 1.3*

Don’t buy this game. 1st, controls makes white night unplayable. 2nd story is not good at all. 3rd not scary. 4th, not a lot of work in this game from the developers. 5th, makes me feel like the developers didn’t even play white night and test the gameplay. 
DO NOT BUY White Night! Save your money and your time.

### 1/5 — Gameplay inacceptable !

*2020-08-14*

Le par virtuel est totalement nul, l’option de déplacement par défaut l’est tout autant.
Je vais de ce pas demander le remboursement à Apple.
Dommage l’ambiance et les graphismes étaient là.

### 1/5 — No Save feature??

*2020-02-27, version 1.3*

Have to start all over every time you play, even tho it says Resume!?

### 1/5 — Can I have my money back?

*2019-11-24, version 1.3*

Because paying 5 bucks to see your character walking in a circle is absolutely not worth it.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-07-29, version 1.3*

The controls are terrible, everything in the world has some cut scene to waste your time. Oh wow a shoe. Oh wow a painting of something you cannot see. Five minutes wasted on those two cut scenes. Character walks around in circles wasting more time. The white on black is a terrible idea. Gave me a migraine trying to play this game. Could of been the absolute boredom I felt as I tried to give it a shot. All the reviews say how scary it is, yet it was so badly done and drawn out I do not see what could be scary about it. Took 20 minutes to walk into the mansion and see some ghost. Not scary.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2019-06-23, version 1.3*

I’m normally prepared to give myself plenty of time in which to work out the controls and get into a game. However, I’ve given up on White Night after just 25 minutes of endless circle turning. I have no idea on how I’m supposed to control the character, as there are no instructions, guides or hints, just a message telling me to tap on a circle that appears to have little or no actual function. I suggest that anyone thinking of purchasing this game, give it a wide berth until the creators decide to provide some sort of clue or early walkthrough.

### 5/5 — 怖くて悲しくてオシャレでステキ❤️

*2025-09-07, version 1.3*

残るアチーブメントは2つ。何度も繰り返し館をコレクション収集で探索、毎回楽しい。写真や日記、行動記録などイラストやキャラクターの物語が凄くステキで魅力的。マッチやライトで照らされる明瞭な事象がシンプルで美しい！イベント発生時のモノローグも良い声！マップのサイズが全体や行程を把握するのにピッタリで、フェーズ毎にルートがドアの解錠などで限定されるのも遊び易い。操作も移動箇所をタップすればベクトル付きの円でハッキリ明瞭、ダブルタップで走ってくれる上にキャラクターのサイズにピッタリの行動エリアでテンポが良い！だから「広すぎるフィールドを小さなキャラクターがお使いを頼まれて終始歩いて往来するパズル・アドベンチャー」が苦手な私にとって、このアプリの世界は最適・最高なのです。AIがチェスの王者を負かしてからゲームは難しくなるばかり。無料で試せて好きになって、前半で最高に楽しんでも、後半で「今までの事は初歩的練習問題、コレからが実戦問題です。」という感じのアドベンチャーが多すぎる。私にとって楽しいゲームは現行主流のデベロッパー作品と比べたら「幼稚園の砂場」みたいなモノかもと考えると、時代の速さに埋もれていくようで寂しい限り。

### 5/5 — The Game works great💯

*2021-12-17, version 1.3*

Works great on the iPhone 12 Pro Max but needs 120hz refresh rate support for the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

### 5/5 — Meraviglioso!

*2021-02-01, version 1.3*

Gioco davvero ben fatto! Grafica innovativa e accattivante, enigmi ingegnosi e coerenti, e storia davvero stupenda. Sicuramente il posizionamento delle camere in scena è ciò che rende molto particolare questo titolo. Sembra di essere in un film! Complimenti agli sviluppatori!

### 5/5 — Meilleur jeux vidéo

*2020-10-28, version 1.3*

Incroyable

### 5/5 — Gutes Spiel für Adventurefreunde

*2018-11-27, version 1.3*

Gute, „andere“ Grafik. Sound passt und ist stimmig. Unbedingt vor  dem schlafengehen im Bett spielen. Am besten mit Kopfhörern. Ich hatte öfter einen kalten Schauer auf der Haut. Kleiner Minuspunkt: an manchen Stellen nervige Steuerung. Ansonsten eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

### 5/5 — Amazing- asombroso

*2018-10-22, version 1.3*

Si te gusta los juegos como resident evil, silent hill, alone in the dark es lo que estás buscando necesitas jugarlo con mucha paciencia ya que todo lo que está a tu alrededor de da pistas para seguir avanzando lo recomiendo mucho 👍🏼

### 5/5 — Alucinante

*2018-08-17, version 1.3*

Un extraordinario juego con una atmósfera asfixiante. Muy recomendable.

### 5/5 — A Masterpiece!

*2018-06-08, version 1.3*

The best horror game on any platform. Great story and suspense gameplay wrapped in beautful noir artwork. Definitely a must-have! I hope there would be sequels. I want more!

### 5/5 — Alternativo, genial e intrigante.

*2018-03-20, version 1.3*

Un juego que despierta la curiosidad por una historia tétrica y triste, la ambientación es genial, combinada con la música te meten en la historia de lleno. No tengo pegas a nada salvo a la pequeña dificultad en algunas partes para los controles del juego ya que en los cambios de cámaras fijas, la dirección del manejador cambia el rumbo del personaje. Pero como juego un 10.

### 5/5 — Gut und keiner Problem mit der Steuerung

*2018-03-12, version 1.3*

Hi zusammen,

gute Idee und in meinem Augen gut umgesetzt. Kannte es schon vom pc her
