Rule of Rose User Review

Rule of Rose is a flawed experiment in survival horror, but it certainly gets under your skin.

The Bottom Line:
"Broken"
If David Lynch moved into videogames, he'd probably create something very similar to Rule of Rose. A survival horror game with an emphasis on terror rather than action, the female protagonist has to please a group of young tormentors by finding them gifts. Even stranger, the game is packed with erotic undertones, hinting at pre-pubescent girl-on-girl action for the teenagers and sadomasochism for, well, the Japanese. Developed by Sony in Japan but published in the UK by 505 Games, Rule of Rose is perhaps too twisted for its own good, and as a game it offers none of the depth of its contemporaries. However, the creators have succeeded in making a title that will burrow into your consciousness like few other games can.

  1. Not as bad as they all say! Worth playing through once and selling it on!

  2. Gritty and brutal survival-horror game that is something like a 9 year old's worst nightmare. Flawed, but still great.
