Detention is such a good game absolutely worth every second. From start to finish, it pulls you into a world that’s both deeply unsettling and stunningly crafted. The atmosphere is thick with tension and melancholy, creating a constant sense of unease that perfectly complements the story. What really stood out to me was the art direction. The backgrounds are hauntingly beautiful, almost like walking through a series of eerie, living paintings. Every detail feels intentional, adding layers of meaning and emotion to an already powerful narrative. It’s not just a horror game, it’s a thoughtful and an emotional experience that stays with you long after it ends. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates a good story, gorgeous visuals, and an atmosphere that truly gets under your skin. 是一款非常出色的游戏,绝对值得每一秒的游玩时间。从头到尾,它将你带入一个既令人不安又精致构建的世界。游戏的氛围充满了紧张与忧郁,始终营造出一种不安感,与故事本身完美契合。 最让我印象深刻的是美术风格。背景画面美得令人毛骨悚然,仿佛在一幅幅诡异而鲜活的画作中穿行。每一个细节都像是精心设计,为原本就深刻的剧情增添了更多的情感与意义。 这不仅仅是一款恐怖游戏,它更是一段引人深思、充满情感的体验,哪怕通关之后,它依然会在你心中留下深刻印象。强烈推荐给所有喜欢精彩剧情、精美画面以及扣人心弦氛围的玩家。

This game was insane and I mean that in a good way. Like I am in absolute awe. The graphics? Beautiful. Story? Amazing. Characters? Heart wrenching and real. Length? Perfect— could have played it even longer. I really loved the old Taiwanese architecture used throughout the game and how the whole main storyline is based on the real events of a 1947 high school during the Taiwanese White Terror. I am an American and I try to learn as much as I can about other cultures since a lot of history and cultures are left out of the American education system. I knew Taiwan had been through a lot on its journey to independence and being the human rights haven it is today, but I had no idea the extent it went to. My eyes were opened by this game to something I had remained ignorant to until now. More games like this should exist. It’s a beautiful way of making people truly immerse themselves into history to understand what people experienced during that time period and learn about another culture. I highly recommend this game and can’t wait to go download RedCandle’s other game “Devotion” (it cannot be bought anywhere except their website now due to political controversy and banning issues). My only warning is that this game will throw you through an emotional roller coaster, so be prepared to go from spooked in the beginning to on the verge of tears by the end. I finished this game during my lunch break in public and I’m not the type to cry in front of people, but you best believe I was struggling not to after I finished playing. Absolutely amazing. 10/10 Thank you RedCandle Productions for making this beautiful game ❤️

if you play this game and you don’t know what it means it’s basically a high school girl that ratted out but there was a secret group reading inappropriate books. And then they got taken to jail, and someone got killed I think and she couldn’t live with the guilt so she killed herself. I was hooked on this game. It’s so beautiful and amazing 10 out of 10. I love this game so much, what’s even crazier It’s a real story freaking love this game download it right now!l

ずっと前から気になっていてつい最近、購入をさせて頂きました! 結論から言うととても楽しかったです! 謎解きもありストーリー性もあり、アクションもありと盛りだくさんでした!! ※ネタバレを含みます※ ストーリーは1900年代の中国?台湾?をモチーフにしたもので、当時の時代背景が複雑だった故のストーリーといったところでしょうか。。 最初の主人公が変わるところは意外性があり面白かったです! 自由に知識を追い求めたいと願う少女が巻き起こす事件は、責任や重圧感を感じさせ私もヒヤリとさせられました。 後には戻れない、やってしまったことの取り返しはつかない。と改めて教えてくれるような作品で、私が苦手な ただビックリするホラーとは掛け離れた、考えさせられる内容のホラーゲームです! 2エンドとも完全なハッピーエンドとは言えず、とにかく内容は重いです。 しかし、考察に必要な情報は十分に与えてくださりとても面白いストーリーです! 気になったらとにかくプレイすることをお勧め致します!

I loved playing this game because it was a new cutscene and mysterious clue at every turn. The story was amazing, which I won’t spoil to any new players. I enjoyed the game so much that I played the game multiple times to get the secret ending. This game was definitely worth the 5 dollars I paid.

I found the story and folklore of the game difficult to relate to. But that doesn’t warrant a low rating on its own. I actually would give this experience a 5 out of 5 but the overall tone of it turned out to be very bleak. :( I appreciate the creators for putting this together. Fair warning to anyone who may struggle with mental illness, this “game” has a lot of triggers. But there is a fair disclaimer from the creators. “Hope is a good thing, and good things never die.”

Pc판도 구매했고, 모바일판도 구매했습니다 아주 무섭거나, 많은 퍼즐이 들어가는 게임이 아니라 플레이 타임이 굉장히 짧습니다만, 한번쯤은 꼭 해보길 권하는 게임입니다
