Better than expected

DON'T MIND THE REVIEWS THEY'RE ALL CHINESE PEOPLE ANGRY AT RED CANDLE FOR MAKING FUN OF XI JINPING IN THEIR NEW GAME DEVOTION. Detention deserves a place on your Steam library if you enjoy atmospheric horror games, its story has an important message behind it as it introduces themes that seem almost unfair when viewed through the eyes of a child, but that only helps to escalate the horror.
