The majority of the game actually takes place on an airship, not the mansion (which we later find out to be an orphanage). And kids are china-doll-standing-at-the-top-of-the-stairs creepy They establish their own society and live by rules that are based on whims, and are therefore ever-changing. It has a strong Lord of the Flies vibe about it. What is particularly disturbing about Rule of Rose, what really gets under your skin while you’re playing it, is that the children are acting almost exactly as you would expect them to act if there were no adults around for an extended period of time. This is, admittedly, quite disturbing, and is just a sample of the tone of the entire game. She raises her skirt, smiling wider and wider as she lifts it higher and higher before it eventually cuts to another scene. In it, one of the girls, Diana, curtesies to Jennifer. The most sexually explicit scene seems to have been removed from the game, but can be found in the trailer. Having said that, the game only implies childhood sexuality, it is never said or shown explicitly (thankfully). It’s one thing to depict violence and sexuality in a game, but it is quite another to do so with little children. So, spoiler alert: This is a survival horror game. They invite her to join their society, but in doing so, Jennifer may end up losing her sanity or even her life… Once inside, she is accosted by a group of young girls, calling themselves the Red Crayon Aristocrat society. Along the way, she gets dropped off near an old mansion and is led there by a young boy. Set in England in the 1930’s, you play as Jennifer, a 19-year-old orphan (?) on her way to her new home. Bear in mind, games such as Grand Theft Auto and Resident Evil have some of the most violent and sexually explicit content you can find in games, so what makes this one so bad? In a word: Children As it is, fun in some regards, very annoying in others.Why is Rule of Rose so rare? Well, less one week after its release, it was banned in the UK. I am thinking a strategy guide would have been a real asset. You use your dog to sniff out these items and from what I understand you can get him to find a whole lot of cool stuff, but I was unable to do this as I focused on the task at hand and ran, ran and ran some more from those creepy cleaner things. ![]() During the middle portion of the game you are in some strange airship where you must fetch things to prove your worth to the other cruel girls. During most of the game you are assisted by a dog the main character names Brown, her only friend among a bunch of girls in this strange orphanage where things are not as they seem. Then there is the fighting which was very annoying, my advice is run like crazy when you can because fighting is very tough going as most of the time you are being assailed by this tiny creatures which are unnerving to say the least. Perhaps it is because I did not use the gun properly in the last portion of the game, thus I did not get the best ending, but still this game had me confused on a lot of points. Unfortunately, for the most part the game is one long fetch quest where there just is not a lot of answers forthcoming. Strange things peeking here and there, I was tense wondering what to expect. You start out as a girl left in the middle of nowhere, she walks to the house in the distance and this is like the best portion of the game. I got this game when it first came out and when I first started playing it I thought it was going to be a very grand survival horror game.
