While its gameplay is barebones, its combat sluggish, and its exploration mundane, Rule of Rose has one of the strongest narratives in any horror title, or games in general.
A narrative so strong that despite the shortcomings of its gameplay, is worth checking out for any horror fan, or for those looking to see what a strong execution of a narrative looks like in a game.
Rule of Rose is right up there with Silent Hill 2 on that front.
Rule of Rose is a dark, depressing look at the suffering and cruelty of children, but also one of the most genuinely moving.
While never a huge seller, and was surrounded by controversy, its reputation has grown over the years, and for good reasons. Let's take a look at why.
