There’s Wendy the puppet master, who got everything she wanted without touching a single weapon. To me the message is hard to see as “forgive and be free”, as the entire game is rooted in learning the craft of being a manipulator. She could hand the revolver to him and watch him commit suicide. To earn the good ending, Jennifer needs to wait for Gregory’s momentary elapse, when he is on his knees begging toward the sky. The bad ending is simple – fight the boss battle, kill the enemy, win. The final battle occurs when Jennifer finds out that her entire orphanage had been slaughtered and was cornered by Gregory who is ready to take her too.
#RULE OF ROSE LOVE SUICIDE SERIAL#
Wendy, Jennifer’s obsessive friend and lover, did not take Jennifer’s decision to leave then being publicly demoted from the queen-bee position well – by dressing up as Joshua and lead Gregory into committing massacre in the orphanage, an ultimate serial murder-suicide of Wendy via proxy. The final boss, Gregory is a disturbed individual, someone so damaged by the death of his son Joshua his mentality takes a spiral fall as the game progresses, going from kidnapping Jennifer and forcing her to take on the identity of Joshua, to believing that he is Joshua’s dog and follows every single command from anyone who resembles Joshua. And in the end, when the game was about to reward the players with closure of clarity, it left yet another ambiguous trap. Somewhere between resentment and survivor’s guilt, Jennifer changes her memory again and again throughout the game. The unreliable narration is the core of the game. And that means she has to relive her year in the orphanage, to re-suffer the unforgiving social minefield that is a pre-teen girl’s self-made gladiator ground. She is lost, and she cannot be freed until the truth has been uncovered. She arrives in the now-abandoned orphanage hoping to find the facts to the tragic massacre. The game starts with the player character Jennifer, despite being 19, being so traumatised that her growth is stunted and she is mentally set to being a pre-teen. By growing up, that means abandoning the reality and embracing the fantasy world, the happy place. She needed to escape from this loop, and she could only do this by growing up. She lost her birth parents to an accident, her own identity to the hand of carer/kidnapper, her adopted identity to her escape, her freedom to her possessive lover, her dog to her friends, before having everyone single person she knew gunned down on front of her and abandoned as the sole survivor again. Or, Rule of Rose is a story about a little girl who was always left behind. By growing, up I mean abandoning the falsehood in her head and embracing reality, the sensible place. She needs to escape from this loop, and she could only do this by growing up. She is abandoned as the sole survivor again. She starts her life anew, escaping with her love, then engages in a year of power-struggle among the other children before having every single person she knew gunned down in front of her. She had a loving family, and when disaster strikes she is taken in by a grieving father who lost his own child. Rule of Rose is a story about a little girl who was always left behind. Let us recall our memories together in order to remember our promise. …However, you do not know at the moment, nor can you remember. You know what I refer to and I know that you know. …Yet, time can be so cruel, for I have aged and cannot remember the past. “I am the Bucket Knight, keeper of promises.
