Pretty good game, very cool art design. Was a nice like 3.5 hour atmospheric experience. I do think I prefer the other horror game by Red Candle, Devotion, a little bit more, but shame that one got taken off of steam because china leadership can't laugh at itself, but you can still buy it on Red Candle's official site. Everything this studio puts out seems to have a lot of love put into it. Would gladly support their future games
I got detention and it was pretty good.
