[ About Detention ]

Detention is a uniquely atmospheric horror game that draws heavily on Taiwanese and broader East Asian cultural elements, including references to Taoism and Buddhism. Set in the 1960s during Taiwan's martial law period, the game immerses players in a hauntingly detailed world. Using a straightforward point-and-click interface, players guide characters through a school plagued by eerie supernatural occurrences, uncovering the dark stories that haunt the place.
