Rule of Rose

"It’s clear that this game came from Japan, but that also increases our interest level in a lot of things. The way that American game development is trending, Rule of Rose is a refreshing break from the constant ports, remakes and yearly iterations of the tried and tired franchises that we are all familiar with."

"The entire game is split up into a range of chapters all of which are actually quite short making an entire play-through rather short as well. There’s of course no real replayability seeing as it’s story based and even the first time through is a hard sell."

"This survival horror game trades typical zombies for a pack of sadistic children, but its compelling premise and creepy atmosphere only partly make up for the mostly bland gameplay."
