Detention

Detention stands out as a unique atmospheric horror game deeply rooted in Taiwanese and East Asian culture, drawing heavily on elements of Taoism and Buddhism. Set in the 1960s during Taiwan's martial law period, the game unfolds within the eerie confines of a haunted school. Players engage in a point-and-click adventure, navigating the supernatural threats and uncovering the haunting stories embedded within the school's walls. Detention seamlessly integrates religious and mythological elements from Taiwanese and Chinese culture, offering players a distinctive visual and gaming experience.
