Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.

Sums Steam only; PlayStation, App Store, Nintendo publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

It is a good experience, gameplay wise not so much but what is there, works. Fantastic atmosphere.
Great atmospheric game. Immersive setting and interesting story, definitely worth playing.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 16: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Theo tôi tựa game này sẽ xứng đáng với số tiền mà bạn bỏ ra dù có giảm giá hay không. Ý tôi là, nếu bạn là người thích những tựa game kinh dị mang phong cách Side-scroller 2D kèm theo đó là cốt truyện đủ lôi cuốn và những câu đố nhỏ để bạn không cảm thấy nhàm chán thì Detention có lẽ sẽ không làm bạn thất vọng. Nhưng nếu bạn là người thích dạng game kinh dị nặng đô ( Outlast, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Devotion, Home Sweet Home... ) thì tôi nghĩ bạn nên cân nhắc lại.

THİS GAME İS PERFECT! the story is intresting the game play is realy fun. the horror and the puzzles are not boring or lame. game doesnt drown you with monsters or puzzles. and like what can i say. buy this game if you have some spare dolars. you wont regret it. i have played tons of games till now and this will be one of my favorites
This is an extremely well executed story, The abysmal film adaptation really made me appreciate how naturally it set up its themes and motifs, how clearly it fleshed out the characters' headspaces and how apt a metaphor the ghost interactions really are. None of that is true of the movie. The gameplay proper isn't much but the puzzles are pretty good. Neither too obtuse nor too trivial. Great spooky atmosphere and visuals too.
amazing good job

Both this and Nine Sols delivered everything I wanted out of them and more. I cannot wait for whatever else these devs cook up in the future. This game should be talked about in (niche) horror game spaces than it is. Great experience, atmosphere, music, art style. Thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.
