Rule of Rose

My brother bought me a new game for Christmas, it's called Rule of Rose. This game was actually banned over in the UK and Australia (and I heard Italy as well), specifically because it promotes the themes of lesbianism (is that a word?) and child violence. After playing it for about an hour, I was absolutely sucked into the world of Rule of Rose. The plot line is rather fascinating, you start off as the main character - Jennifer, who basically finds herself in the middle of nowhere as a result of following a little boy off a bus she was riding. As you wander around, you find a large mansion, which actually is an orphanage. You run around a little bit and eventually you are brought onto an airship, which is where most of the story takes place.

I'm still a level 3 right now, but I must admit the story is amazingly spell-binding and has captured my attention. There was a point where the other characters left rabbit dung in Jennifer's room and my brother had to remind me that it wasn't "my" room.

I won't talk about this too much, to avoid spoiling the story for anyone else who may be interested in trying out the game. I may eventually start off some posts discussing some theories for this game, but if I do, I will be sure to warn readers in advance.

Back to my game!
