The combination of eastern religion horror, poltical propaganda and a school setting make Detention one of the most unique psychological horrors and a truly horrifying experience. yet it managed to make me feel angst and sorrow i've not felt since playing Silent Hill 2. teared up at the end. def recommend
The story is rather short, but well written and its pacing is good. Detention is not a traditional horror game in the sense that it relies of jump scares or constant chasing. Instead, it focuses on solving a mystery and discovering the tragedy that revolves around abuse and oppression. I rlly love how the game inlcudes some real historic events, which influence the characters behaviour. Combined with the great visuals, it creates an unsettling atmosphere. Good soup, quick gameplay, would recommend :D
Pretty good game, very cool art design. Was a nice like 3.5 hour atmospheric experience. I do think I prefer the other horror game by Red Candle, Devotion, a little bit more, but shame that one got taken off of steam because china leadership can't laugh at itself, but you can still buy it on Red Candle's official site. Everything this studio puts out seems to have a lot of love put into it. Would gladly support their future games
This horror game isn't your usual jumpscares and chasing you with monsters, but more of true world historical horror that has actually happened and how it affects a child. From being hopeful because someone listened to her, to eventually dooming those people to death simply because they want freedom. This game has my total respect and people should start playing it since it's at a low price and just takes 3 hours to play.
