Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.

Reviews
Disregard The massive review bomb, The Taiwanese Dev insulted the Communist Government and now Mainland Chinese players have their panties in a bunch, this game is fantastic if not a little short,
一直被模仿,从未被超越。 [h1]制作组政治立场有问题,坚持一个中国原则! [/h1]
The combination of eastern religion horror, poltical propaganda and a school setting make Detention one of the most unique psychological horrors and a truly horrifying experience. yet it managed to make me feel angst and sorrow i've not felt since playing Silent Hill 2. teared up at the end. def recommend

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 16: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

看完電影才來的 先murmur一下個人心路歷程 當時上映的時候大概國一國二?跟著一群好朋友一起去看 起初不知道劇情大致是發生在白色恐怖時期 甚至不知道是恐怖片(? 開頭就被嚇了一大跳導致後面都是處在很緊張的狀態下看完 後面訂閱NF才重新了解了故事劇情 前陣子趁著特賣購入後 剛好暑假閒著沒事打完ㄌ ----以下遊戲心得---- 首先恐怖程度 跳臉嚇其實一隻手數得出來(但這部分定義就見仁見智) 自己覺得前半段(第一章第二章)這種嚇法比較多 後段基本都是在解謎 但說真的 這款遊戲本身的「恐怖」是建立在氛圍營造+真實歷史背景上 所以常常解到一半覺得雞皮疙瘩爬滿身 毛骨悚然的感受比突發驚嚇更多一些 好處是不會被嚇出心臟病 其次劇情 個人覺得沒啥瑕疵啦 有把沿路垃圾都撿完 可以看的地方都看過 理解前因後果跟整體故事線真的不難 同時也會懂製作組的用心 [spoiler]最後選擇前可以點一下旁邊的電扇!然後打出good ending的話 在回到中學時可以點看看筆記本~有彩蛋[/spoiler] 遊戲缺點部分 人物移動真的是吃屎般的慢 要解謎跑場景已經很躁了 方芮欣走路還給我像掰咖一樣 但這方面在單純過劇情的時候 其實會讓人更能帶入場景當下的氛圍 不得不說 其實也算有利有弊吧 打通第一次是BE 隔天早上睡醒本來要上課 但就是覺得整個人很鬱卒所以又打開遊戲把好結局也打通了 笑死 [hr][/hr] 扯回一點2026的事 白恐算是台灣人民集體的心理創傷 也是轉型正義的路上永遠不能被遺忘的歷史 不能忘記 更不應該害怕想起來 無論身在今日的我們懷抱著何種政治立場 都應該好好正視當初發生的事 同時避免重蹈覆轍 若是刻意掩蓋 或是不願意看見戒嚴時期的事情被提出來討論 豈不枉費了身處民主國家你擁有的權利嗎? 同時 也不需要對這款遊戲的製作者以及玩家懷揣著先入為主的政治立場或貼上莫須有的標籤 若是對歷史真相的還原帶有惡意的評價 終究會再次將先烈爭取來的人權意識抹殺 甚至重蹈覆轍之前的錯誤 -------- 願我們永遠銘記歷史 致 自由
剧情云里雾里,不知所云,流程太短,不过够阴间,我喜欢。最后说一句,国民党是啥比
买别的游戏不小心把自己送进港区蹲大牢了干脆买点特产www 好玩(:喜欢这个画风,游戏足够吓人但是太短了www 可惜买不到制作组的另一个游戏了
This is a beautiful little horror game with a deep story. There's no cheap jumpscares, but it's genuinely unsettling in more ways than one. The music and art style really create a terrifying atmosphere. Highly recommend if you want to have a depressing time. (This is a good thing.)
Hyper relevant today, where freedom of speech is dwindling and in danger, where recent world events only point to a modern shape of prohibiting certain thoughts happening soon. Is it truly an act of treason against a nation, to read history, and have common sense about it? Or is this censorship and misinformation an act of treason against humanity itself? Cried, Wei deserved better, but this is a truly human work, and I can't blame anyone, which speaks for itself. Note: Fell asleep playing it, my bad, game is 3-4 hours tops.
My best friend gave me this game as a birthday present, and also because she knows I got SIlent Hill F and i really enjoyed the title. Of course Detention is completely different game, talking about gameplay, however the story is similar and I really enjoyed it. The only complains I have are concerning language, even though I speak and understand english, I had to translate it in real time during stream cause it doesn't have a translation to spanish, also in certain cinematics you can't control the speed of the texts which can be tricky. Other tan than the game is great and i really recommend it, just make sure it's available in a language you understand.
