That can be done by using the square, triangle or circle buttons and if you leave the canine companion still for a couple of minutes he'll lay down and play nice. Jeniffer will be able to control the dog with her voice by ordering him to come, stay or find something. The player has to select an item from the menu and choose the find option to let Brown sniff the clue in order to find the needed object. Jennifer will have a very helpful dog, named Brown and for the first time ever a dog will do something useful in a horror game: he'll sniff items.

The main character is 80% percent of the times a female, in this sort of games and Rule of Rose is no exception. This is a horror survival game, you know, that third person semi quest game, that involved getting scared and running from vicious zombies and monsters till you got bored. Rule of Rose is a shocking game in any sense that you can think of, considering that you have to deal with crazed children and Stephen King-like storytelling. The Aristocrats' main hobby is torturing Jennifer after she'll unwillingly enter their society. She was sent there after her parents died and as you'll find out, every chapter of the game mocks past events of her life. You may wonder what's Jennifer doing in this orphanage. The action of the game takes place in 1930 and I didn't even need to read an in-game document to confirm that as I saw a Zeppelin in the intro and placed the action approximately between the two great world conflicts. Everyone is called 'prince' or 'princes', especially in the case of children that are part of the Aristocrats. Rule of Rose has all the child prototypes that we know: the evil fat girl, the annoying little girl with eye glasses, the retarded little boy and some adults: the cleaning lady or the sadistic and creepy headmaster. Its name is The Aristocrats of the Red Crayon and you'd better remember that, because whenever you'll see a wall with red drawings, you should know that they did it. She'll explore the location, discovering a secret society that enjoys animal cruelty and has only children as faithful members. Jennifer, a 'poor little girl', as the story calls her has just arrived at a seemingly deserted boarding school. It seems to be a dog by the sound it makes. The game begins with some children with bags on their heads beating something that's half dead and held inside a bag. If anyone thinks he ever had childhood trouble, wait till you see the disturbed kids that Punchline pulled out of the hat together with a sadistic rabbit. The fear was present and heart attack was not very far away. Some people play games to relax, you know! Rule of Rose kept me tense with its obscure atmosphere and stressful action. Superb storytelling and the creepiest kids I have ever seen changed my days into living nightmares, controllers attached. The creators of this production found a way to prove me wrong: Rule of Rose. I never thought that a horror survival game could get any better while playing the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series.

Rule of rose.
