User Reviews:

I like this game, it’s really interesting and cool. Every time a match goes out, though... also I didn’t know before that you can die (I learned the hard way). Also for all you people who are like “Horror! Cool! How scary can a mobile game be?” I am telling you VERY SCARY. I WAS ONE OF YOU. CONSIDER YOURSELVES WARNED.

The game has a pretty interesting storyline which gets you to want to keep playing. The movement controls can be frustrating especially when trying to run or move into a space off screen. Sometimes the apparitions can be irritating with the patterns they move in sometimes being impossible to get by without dying several times first. These are just easy game fixes or bug fixes that can be changed. The game as a whole is something that I keep going back to being that it is good enough that I'm in a rush to finish it. I wish there were more puzzles and not so much tap to achieve type things but definitely worth play in my opinion. Just be aware that the nervousness that apparitions give you make it a bit scary even if the game itself isn't scary. It's more the suspense that will keep you on your toes. 

Conclusion:

Its handful of annoyances are a real pity because (when I wasn't feeling exasperated) I was enraptured by White Night’s atmosphere and story. With better checkpoints and some accurate guidance once in a while, this could have easily snuck on to my personal list of top ten games. Instead it stands as a flawed, but involving and visually enticing surprise.
