Rule of Rose

Platform: PlayStation 2
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Review Type: Touchy
Version: Retail



Okay, so I've got at thing for Japanese games. Rule of Rose is the survival horror game re-imagined as a supernatural childhood psychodrama. The plastic expressions common in "realistic" really seem to work when the intent of the came is to creep you out. In Silent Hill the looks on the faces of the good guys were nearly as skin-crawling as the horribly disfigured creatures you had to kill. As far as Rule of Rose goes, I'm intrigued based on the wistful tone of this trailer alone. Things can't possibly end well for the poor chubby girl.

Watch the trailer here.

Rule of Rose
is available now in Japan.

I'm guessing it could be a while before we see this one localized.
