About

Detention (2017) is an atmospheric horror adventure game that stands out for its unique cultural setting in 1960s Taiwan under martial law. The indie title incorporates religious elements based on Taiwanese and Chinese mythology, delivering a distinctive visual style and storytelling experience that sets it apart from typical Western horror games. Its compelling narrative and artistic approach earned it a respectable 76/100 rating among players.

Running Detention is quite accessible for most PC gamers, as the game doesn't demand high-end hardware. An entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 303 will handle the game smoothly, and just 4 GB of RAM is required to meet minimum specifications. You can expect solid FPS performance even on modest graphics cards, making it easy to run at high settings across a range of PC configurations without worrying about demanding performance requirements.

If you appreciate indie games with strong artistic direction and atmospheric storytelling, Detention is worth playing. The cultural mythology and horror elements create a memorable experience that justifies its rating, even if you're not typically drawn to the adventure-horror genre.

Performance profile

January 2017 release. Detention was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Detention is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Extremely light — Detention runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

Greenwood high school, located in a remote mountainous area, two students found themselves trapped and vulnerable. The place they once knew has changed in unsettling ways, haunted by evil creatures. To escape, they must explore the mysterious campus filled with ominous objects and puzzles. How will they survive in this ever threatening environment? Could they return to safety in one piece?
