Weekly Game Review: Rule Of Rose

[Copper]

I can't remember how I stumbled across this game (a gamefaqs Top 10, maybe. Dunno.) but holy freaking cow. I read walkthroughs for this thing and it creeped me the hell out. Yeah. King's right. There are very few words to describe just how messed up this game is without giving things away. Lord of the Flies is a fairly accurate comparison, to a degree. I think LotF creeped me a shade less, but then, I read that in high school and I heard about this one past college. And when he says Grimm Fairy Tales, think the originals, not the Disney-fied versions we've come to know better. You want a dark storyline with mature gameplay, this is it.
