10 Awesome Horror Games Set In One Location

10. Yeondu High School - White Day: A Labyrinth Named School (2001)

Whether it’s the creepy elementary school in Silent Hill 2 or the nightmarish flashback sequences from Outlast 2, schools never fail to make for chilling horror game locations.

By taking this recognisable environment and lacing it with some nefarious happenings, these familiar institutions of education are transformed into dangerous places that pose a threat to whoever’s unfortunate enough to enter.

This is the case in cult South Korean survival horror White Day: A Labyrinth Named School when transfer student Lee Hui-min sneaks into his new high school at night to put gift into the locker of his crush.

However, events take a supernatural turn for the worst when Hui-min and some other students become trapped in the building. Pursued by possessed janitors armed with baseball bats and encountering the many ghosts which haunt the halls, players must carefully explore the school while solving a collection of challenging puzzles to find a way to escape.

The darkened school makes for an eerie location as players avoid being detected by the murderous custodians, but it’s the roster of ghostly inhabitants that make this school one of the scariest in video games.

With a rerelease of this cult classic recently arriving on PS5, there's been no better time to try this game.
