CWs for Detention: graphic violence, bodily fluids, torture, death by hanging, suffocation, police violence, grooming, pedophilia.
A horror game that's dreadfully still despite a lush auditory and visual language. Detention is set again the backdrop of 1960s martial law in Taiwan, but without any particular allegiance to the CCP at the same time. The political thought of the game is woefully undeveloped. Extremely troublesome and repulsive parallels between grooming and clandestine organizing emerge through unceremonious flashbacks in the back half. The opening of the game rips and a lot of the Silent Hill on rails stuff is cool, but the grounds for speculation that it's horror predecessors carve out are stamped out by a compulsion to make explicit answers for every possibility.
