I finished it a couple weeks ago. Genre-wise it lies somewhere between Survival Horror and the adventure genre, similar to games like Echo Night or the first Clock Tower. There is no actual combat, but there are some sequences that require proper timing of actions to get by the creatures. If you fail you have to run away or die.

Most of the time though it plays just like an adventure game, particularly in the latter half. The setting is interesting and so is the story. I thought it was pretty good, though rather short. I’m a horror fanboy though so my opinion may not matter for much.

Music 10/10
Story 9/10
Graphics serviceable
Gameplay just there to serve story
Length around 3 hrs

Indeed one of the most unique and bold story you will play in any genre
Unique topic
Combining taiwanese dark political history with emotional psychological horror of guilt , jealousy,self interest and chinese folklore on the top

It delivers on many fronts, and some of the music pieces at right story moments just gut punch you

If any person here like TotheMoon type story centered games, double dip for multiple endings
It will leave a profound impact, bold stuff

If i had money , would have given these guys full engine to materialize it in 3D
Graphics were only crutch
Highly recommended

The game seems interesting so I glimpsed through the 1st part of the game on Youtube - no voice-acting? But the graphics reminded me very much of The Cat Lady. I’m very tempted especially as the game seems to be quite short.  Smile

Dont spoil it on youtube Smile, yes no voice acting
And yes to cat lady, i put it on my watchlist because it reminded me of my fan translation project for this game

And another game The Kite

Luckily game is as bold and somewhat twisted
Its the brevity of dialogues thats gonna work just like subtle graphical representation
I would recommend it just for the fact that they need good support because they have story telling talent

Music is awesome in Detenion, here is my fav track

Legit stuff, not the kind of experience you get often
And dont read review if you are planning to play , should go without expecting themes
