Strong...powerful...harsh.

And depressive.

Don't play it as a horror game. Approach it historically and psychologically.

A bite-sized point-and-click horror game with an intriguing story, Detention is worth anyone's time...as long as you can tolerate the obscure puzzles. Playing with a guide handy is recommended. Great game to pick up for the Halloween season.
