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.

못하겠어요
buen juego, ambientación, historia arte. Lo único malo es la duración (por el precio es bastante decente) y que solo esta en inglés si no te molesta eso aprovecha y juegalo.
Better than Silent Hill, i dont care, ive playing silent hill 2 and silent hill for a long time and i thougth it was the best horror game ive ever play, but now, seems Detention is THE best horror game ive ever play, and i really think is better than Silent Hill 2

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.

Holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ feels trip. This game is amazing. Honestly, I was a bit hesitant with it being a point and click/2D game, but I decided to try it out, and the story is so good. It's really sad and has some horror elements, but, more than anything, it's just sad. It does a good job depicting how Taiwan was during the White Terror. 10/10.
without a doubt this is the best indie game i have ever played this game is an art. 10/10
simply a masterpiece
this game is so aura, very kept me retention so cool!
Great art and story. Puzzles weren't too bad for someone who doesn't play these types of games often. I was definitely not intelligent enough to understand all of the story during my playthrough, def need to watch a video on the game or something. The story is very strong though, great.
Очень понравилась тема, которую осветили разработчики. При прохождении чувствуется безысходность, а при достижении плохой концовки - абсолютное отчаяние. Сюжетные аспекты хороши, каждая деталь раскрылась под конец, контента для такого проекта достаточно, в прохождении она не слишком трудная и долгая. По стилистике игра остается одной из самых любимых для меня, в каждом эпизоде картинка меняется и перестает пугать открыто, а лишь подтекстом, вложенным в деталях. Визуально она приятная, узнаваемая семи-реалистичная стилизация и огромная вложенная работа по детализации окружения, что даёт запоминающуюся атмосферу. Аудио составляющая игры тоже на высоте, очень много отдано именно восточной культуре, чему огромный плюс. По геймплею достаточно простенькая, прям таки тяжёлых головоломок сосчитать по пальцам. Игра выходит больше с уклоном на саму историю, а не геймплейный гринд, но со скоростью прохождения я не считаю это весомым минусом и могу порекомендовать ознакомиться с игрой.
la verdad que agarrar y jugar este juego en 2026 despues de tantos años y darse cuenta que es un juego que envejecio muy bien, los puzzles los senti divertidos, hay algunos screamers que me movieron el asiento jajaja y sin hablar la historia que es bastante profunda y quiero pensar que basada en hechos reales, un juego muy bueno y totalmente recomendado
