Detention

Set in 1960s Taiwan under martial law, Detention follows two students trapped in a remote high school transformed into an unsettling, supernatural place. Players explore the campus as its familiar rooms and corridors give way to stranger environments.

The game is a 2D point-and-click adventure: inspect rooms, find objects, use them to interact with the environment, and solve puzzles. Spirits and other dangers make some areas risky to cross, so players must avoid them as they search for a way forward.

Clues, documents, dialogue, and symbolic scenes gradually connect the school's mysteries to the characters' experiences and the period's history. Taiwanese cultural and religious references shape the horror, while the story unfolds across chapters and offers two endings.

Reviewers often praise Detention's oppressive atmosphere, distinctive visuals, and sound design, which build tension without relying on frequent jump scares. Many also value its emotionally heavy story and its connection to Taiwan's history and cultural references. Players describe the puzzles as engaging but often simple, and some find the game short, the controls or movement slow, or the later story abstract; others say its quieter, story-focused approach is less frightening than expected.
