This title right here is a classic in the psychological survival horror genre. Really plays with female troupes pretty well. It's very unnerving in its presentation and atmosphere. It's a pretty surreal title almost rivaling that of silent hill 2. And I say that with great love for the silent hill franchise. This game is worth coming back and revisiting it's been so long since we've had our hands on it and I personally would love to share this game with more people.
This game absolutely deserves another life after its (wholly undeserved) controversies and banning. Its story is one of the most gut-wrenching, touching, and well-written things ever put in a horror game. While definitely held back by its clunky gameplay, said story--alongside its beautiful soundtrack, fantastic performances, and unique art direction--more than make up for it. Trust me, this is a game worth preserving.
A masterpiece of horror, that was unfairly banned in some countries, I hope this game enter in the GOG collection this way more people can discover this hidden gem.
Many know me as a huge Rule of Rose fan (Unlucky_Gurl) and there is so much I can say about this game... It is truly a masterpiece in terms of writing, amazing horror aesthetics and design (especially the enemies), fantastic music and it truly manages to involve the player in the story. The gameplay may not be the best but it is truly a title that needs to be played once in a lifetime. I do hope it returns on modern consoles because this game does not deserve to be stuck in "scalpers'" hell. Sometimes I wish i was able to experience it again like was the first time, truly spectacular.
We need this type of game in our lives and let it be available for everyone to play. This game shows a unique story, unique characters, and explores trauma no one talks about in game.
This is one of if not my favorite game of all time. Its story is so well-written and interesting, and the artstyle still holds up, imo. Thr soundtrack is gorgeous. The gameplay may be clunky at time, but honestly not as bad as some try to make it be. It has that classic backtracking as you open more areas, which I personally enjoy being able to rethread the same area and get to know the map so well. It's a real shame that it ever got banned based on false information, and that all current physical copies are sold at exhorbitant prices. It's one of the best, most well-crafted stories of all survivor horror, if not all games, dealing with delicate subjects without feeling exploitative or anything like that, as all the topic are handled with care, and you can really see how trauma have impacted all those girls differently, and how it informs their behavior. It doesn't outright villainize any of them, being able to sympathize with them while still condoning some of their actions. Few medias have been able to capture and execute all the themes this game does. Truly a game that deserve to be preserved and easily available to be played so anyone can experience this amazing story.
The best psychological horror game i have ever played, made me feel so many emotions at once, but mostly i just sat and cried durning my gameplay. The story itself is so unique and just so unnerving it's amazing. It's a shame it was banned for false allegations spreading around, it deserved and deserves more recognition now. Also the soundtrack, kept me on my toes the whole game, and the song that we hear at the end - i cried like a little child. I really hope that more people will know about this game, and of course play it, because it's really worth it.
Rule of rose is the game that really opened my eyes to horror games. It has an amazing story with a cast of interesting characters. The music is gorgeous and honestly has some of the best orchestral pieces I’ve ever heard. Overall, rule of rose is a masterpiece and deserves a remake or remaster soon.
A work of unique setting and history that must be preserved not only for its historical value but also for being something unrepeatable. At one time it was compared to Resident Evil and Silent Hill

HitmanBecome the Master Assassin in an intense spy-thriller story. As Agent 47, you perform contract hits on powerful, high-profile targets in exotic locations around the world. Gameplay focuses on taking out targets in huge and intricate sandbox levels with complete freedom of approach. Where to go, when to strike and who to kill – it is all up to you.
HITMAN is an expanding and evolving world of assassination. The experience began with a Prologue and Paris location in March, continued with Episode 2: Sapienza in April, Episode 3: Marrakesh in May, the Summer Bonus Episode in July, Episode 4: Bangkok in August and Episode 5: Colorado in September. The season finale in Hokkaido, Japan arrived on October 31st.
HITMAN also features a major live component, which is made up of Elusive Targets, Escalation Contracts, Community-inspired Challenge Packs and Contracts Mode.
An Elusive Target is the closest thing to the Hitman fantasy that we’ve ever created. These targets will be custom-created characters that are added to existing locations and are only there for a limited time in real-time. You’ll only have one chance to take them down. If they escape, they are gone for good. If you kill them, that’s the way that you killed them. There are no do-overs and no second chances. When an Elusive Target leaves the game world (one way or another) they never return.
Escalation Mode is something else completely new for HITMAN and was created as a way to regularly provide a fresh challenge to players. You’ll need to master the location as well as the gameplay mechanics to complete a hit that will escalate in difficulty by adding new elements. This mode has a strong focus on having fun with the game mechanics and mixing them up. It’s more about being playful than realistic.
Contracts Mode returns from Hitman Absolution; Play-to-create, mark your own targets, choose how to kill them and compete against your friends. We will also pick the best of the bunch and put them in the Featured Contracts list so you’ve got something fresh to play whenever you load up the game.Open world Action Stealth
