Detention is a very atmospheric visual novel with a great score and delightful simple puzzles. Its emotional storyline is primarily communicated indirectly such that you're expected to connect the dots between notes, memories, and metaphors, all of which are integrated into the Taiwanese historical and cultural setting. It's just a shame the latter half of the game is bereft of any horror and the latter third of any puzzles. 7 out of 10.
