This is a decent point and click horror game by developer Red Candle Games (Nine Sols, Devotion). Plenty of puzzles, an appropriate number of enemies which you have to avoid, distract and disguise your presence. The audio quality in this game is similar to that of a Silent Hill game. What killed it for me was the pedophile character and that portion of the narrative.

a hardhitting story, that while intense, tells of a real time period, in a way that allows you to connect and feel for the characters.

A couple years ago, I chickened out while playing the first chapter. Last October, I decided to try again, and was able to actually finish. It is definitely not an easy game to get through as the story unfolds, and it stops being "scary" and just becomes sad and disturbing. I'm happy I got through this one!

Detention is an atmospheric horror game set in 1960s Taiwan under martial law. The plot is definitely amazing and it slowly reveals the putrid state of a dictatorship country and the people who live in it. The game is not a particularly scary experience, but undoubtedly a horrifying one. For me the character art style and animation style wasn't the greatest, but otherwise the game is indeed worth it. Just get it at a sale.

Not my type of game usually but this was a good one. Horror was intense, especially the OST had me on edge the whole time. The story was the real driving factor to keep playing though had no idea it would go the direction it did. Ending was lame though.

What starts off as a 2D survival horror game with a very interesting setting (1960s Taiwan) turns into a psychological horror experience that could just as well be set in Silent Hill. This game blew me away and the live-action film adaptation is also really solid

This was an amazing experience, it was super scary and got under my skin. It was very dark though and eventually it became more about the story than just the jumpscares and I think that was important. Would highly recommend. The puzzles were challenging.

Довольно самобытный хоррор/адвенчура про осознание своих персональных грехов. Игра на один длинный вечер, довольно хороша. Единственным серьёзным минусом для меня является отсутствие логической связи между началом игры и концовкой.
