About this product

Product Information

"Rule of Rose" is a classic survival horror game for PlayStation 2. In 1930, Jennifer is sent to the Rose Garden Orphanage after her parents die in a tragic accident. Once there, she is kidnapped by members of the mysterious Aristocracy of the Red Crayon. Eventually, however, it becomes clear that nothing in this world is as it seems. Was Jennifer really kidnapped, or is she the survivor of a massacre at the orphanage? Could she actually be a survivor of the same airship crash that took the lives of her parents?Jennifer is a classic unreliable narrator. The more you play this game, the more you come to realize that her memories and perceptions may be distortions. This gives "Rule of Rose" a very dream like quality that makes it difficult to determine what elements of her experiences are true. Many of the episodic stories within the overarching narrative end with Jennifer fainting and then waking up in a completely different place with no explanation of how she got there. The game’s story lines were heavily influenced by the classic fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and the stories of Edward Gorey. The game is also reminiscent of the novel "Lord of the Flies" since it involves young girls who form a society completely without adult supervision. These little girls have poor impulse control and live by their own whims, which often involve terrifying newcomer Jennifer. Players can feel immersed in Jennifer's plight as they play "Rule of Rose." Since there are also elements of psychological horror in this release, moments of suspense are scattered throughout the gameplay.The game's graphic designers were specifically looking for ways to incorporate psychological differences between children and adults into their imagery. The general look of the graphics in "Rule of Rose" is modeled after illustrations in classic children’s literature. The game’s designers, however, filmed children moving and incorporated much of that motion capture into their work. The result is a cast of well rendered characters who move in realistic ways but are captured in grainy browns and grays. Famed Japanese sound designer Yutaka Minobe composed the game’s score, which is mostly orchestrated with violins, cellos, and piano. Most of the dialogue between characters is written rather than spoken."Rule of Rose" is a title with many psychological subtexts and game play objectives. Its pacing is deliberately dreamy in the same way that the suspense in a great Japanese horror movie unfolds slowly. Players are charged with guiding Jennifer as she struggles to survive and plots to run away. Jennifer is helped by a Labrador retriever named Brown who brings items that help her survive encounters with her enemies, the Aristocrats. You have the option of playing through the video game puzzles, which mostly consist of items that Jennifer’s dog must find. You also have the option just to play the title for its story line. If you enjoy a complex narrative with fright potential that’s designed to make you think, then you can give "Rule of Rose" a try.

    CAN FINALLY REVIEW THIS

    I put off reviewing it as I couldn't yet see if it ran, and it does! I got into a little bidding war over this and the price was still better than what it's been inflated to over the years. This story and game is phenomenal and the only "con" is the mechanical aspect is a bit clunky. However, I play games for their story, I couldn't care less about mechanics. It doesn't impede the narrative. If this game was released today it would be regarded as a groundbreaking classic. Sadly the reaction to the game back when it was released was... well. Reactionary. I highly recommend watching a playthrough if you yourself cannot play it, or play it using an emulator online. This game should be experienced by as many people as possible. I will give anyone who wants to play this content warnings for ...

  • Instant Classic!!!

    Pros + Creepy atmosphere & visuals exploring themes that have never been explored. + Nice soundtrack with awesome violin music. + A true Grimm-like fairy tale!!! Cons - Combat sucks. - Supplies are few, especially food or bullets. - Lots of walking. Comments Rule of Rose is a game like no other with a dark sense of humor that will either disturb you or make you laugh your head off. If only bosses were a little easier or you could command the dog to attack there might be more of a chance that the game would be less stressful. But you play as the weakest girl alive and you are scared at all times. At least the dog can find most items for you. Cutscenes are beautiful as well and tell a true tale of filth & fear that can only be admired by playing through this rare & ...

  • Look Closer

    This game is very unique in story and design. Although the gameplay can be a bit difficult at times, it is still very rewarding. The symbolism and suggestive nature about the game leaves it up to the player to decided what they just ‘witnessed’, leaving room for a closer look. I beat this game twice and I still feel like there are things I have yet to discover. This game was beyond it’s time and the world wasn’t ready for it in 2006. It needs more recognition and a second chance. I hope someday it is re-released or actually finished, where all the audio recordings and cut scenes are used.

  • Rule of Rose

    Very short Review Cons: Fighting Pace If you want to go and slaughter creatures all day long, find a different game. To put it bluntly... The fighting sucks in this game ( Her weapon, hand and half her arm can go through the enemies and not hit them). This game also has a very slow pace. If you need to be doing something every second to have fun, stay clear. Ok, now for the reason that I purchased the game. Pro: The Story The story is very interesting and kind of twisted. I already disliked children, and this game did not help in that matter (The kids in it are EVIL)

  • Unique story

    This is in the top 5 best ps2 I’ve ever played and it’s similar to silent hill and haunting, this game was ahead of its time if only it didn’t get bad press and slander
