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.
the imagery was fire. I usually don't like this style of gameplay but every puzzle served to move the story forward so it was still engaging. the story and soundtrack were perfect. 10/10

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.

It's a likeable game whether you like anime or not or like or don't care for the Asian culture. Gameplay is great. You do have to use stealth in this game to progress. If you're not stealth, well, this little bit of it won't kill you. It it doesn't ruin the experience. It's not a buggy mess. It hasn't crashes. I don't got nothing bad to say about it.
Definitely worth playing! There are sm things I love about this game: 1. The graphics and gameplay, yup. 2. Alongside the graphics and gameplay, I appreciate the "show, don't tell" method so much (yes it's always been my favorite storytelling style), and what could be better when using such method? A nice plot!! I'm both excited and horrified while playing game - excited by connecting the dots through the hints to find out what was happening; and horrified by having to deal with all those ghosts in the game (due to my mouse control skills, I absolutely suck at this part). 3. I love how the game didn't overuse jumpscares and focused on Asian folk spiritual culture instead, the more folklore u know, the more interesting the game shows. 4. I have always been paying heed to the characters' inner thoughts/inner world whenever I started discovering a work, and the game shows off how the background settings affects the characters' perspectives and their behaviors very well, it makes so much sense for what the characters had been doing during the history behind the game, even though we might not comprehend what they were doing since we live in modern time. 5. Especially, I love Ray, I did have to bear a complex family environment when I was her age (tbh, hers was worse), so I understand her. She IS young, having a troublesome family life, having no trustworthy adult to guide her (yep I won't mention Chang Ming-hui for many personal reasons sorry), NOT getting what was TRULY happening when she chose to meet instructor Bai,... To me, she was only a child, so it broke my heart knowing how struggling and guilty she's carrying. I want to hug her, and I'm glad that she made it in the Good Ending. The game is way more than just a horror game, it deserves appreciation!!
时代的悲剧(人类是不会从过去学到任何教训的)。民俗味超级浓,总体十分推荐。
