    Horror game Detention now has a Netflix show

    Red Candle Games are perhaps best known for Devotion getting into trouble with the Chinese government , but they also, y’know, made decent video games. One of those, the high school horror Detention , has now spawned a live-action series on Netflix. It started this weekend, and a

    Have You Played Detention?

    Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Like an excitable tiger with a lisp, critically-acclaimed horror game Devotion bounced off Steam before I got to play it. It’s a shame because I was really looking forward to

    Chinese publisher Indievent lose their business license after Devotion pooh furore

    The tragic tale of Red Candle’s horror game Devotion only gets sadder. Originally pulled from stores after it was discovered to contain a joking comparison between Winnie The Pooh and Chinese president (and Winnie The Pooh lookalike) Xi Jinping. Now it appears it has cost its Chi

    Taiwanese horror game Detention is getting a film adaptation

    Detention, the ruminative Taiwanese horror game by Red Candle Games, is getting a film adaptation, and its set to hit cinemas in Taiwan this September. Set in Taiwan during the 'White Terror' period of martial law, the game is a cryptic and lonely exploration of political dissent

    Devotion disappears from Steam after Chinese Pooh furore

    Taiwanese studio Red Candle Games had a very bad weekend. After the launch of their 80s-set horror game Devotion , players noticed a scrap of paper in-game which invokes the names of Chinese president Xi Jinping and Winnie The Pooh. Xi (who looks much like the cuddly cartoon bear

    Detention follow-up Devotion is spooking up a storm today

    There are few niches as specific as the one Red Candle Games have carved out with Detention and its successor Devotion , launched just yesterday. Both are sharp, unsettling but grounded horror stories that blend the supernatural with tales of real life in Taiwan in the not-too-di

    Devotion is hard to come by in Detention s follow-up

    By digging into the darkness of Taiwan’s past, Red Candle Games’ 2017 sleeper indie horror hit Detention managed to push some buttons that I didn’t know I had. If you haven’t given it a spin, go grab the deluxe edition on Steam , because you’re going to want that soundtrack. You

    Wot I Think: Detention

    Hold your breath, close your eyes and hope that the lingering dead slip by without noticing you. Their tongues bulge from their mouths and they shudder between worlds. Detention is a side-scrolling point and click game, made by a small team of Taiwanese developers. It’s made up o
