[ About Detention ]

Detention is an atmospheric horror game that uniquely blends elements of Taiwanese and East Asian culture, drawing heavily from Taoism and Buddhism. Set in the 1960s during Taiwan's martial law period, this game offers players a haunting journey through a school plagued by supernatural occurrences. Through a simple point-and-click interface, players control characters as they navigate the eerie environment to unravel the mysteries behind the haunted setting.
