Detention Walking in the Rain

If Resident Evil 7 didn’t quite scratch that survival horror itch, then we suggest you try out Detention. This PC indie point-and-click title might not have you frequently battling it out with tough and nightmarish monsters (though they’re not completely absent), but it’ll still leave you feeling slightly uncomfortable.

This, in part, comes down to Detention’s striking visual art style that brings the setting of 1960s martial-law Taiwan to life. Over its two-hour entirety, Detention manages to deliver a striking and emotionally stirring experience with a story that has its roots firmly placed in Taiwanese history and lore.

While Detention’s short length is disappointing, coming in at about two hours, it’s definitely worth checking it out. You won’t remember it for its incredible combat system or challenging puzzles, but its chilling story will certainly linger in your mind for a while after the credits roll.
