Restorative items are snack foods in the game, such as candy and scones, which each heal varying amounts of health. The pistol gives the player a longer-range and no real need to get close to the boss unless needed. The only "real weapon" in the game is the Revolver and Gregory's Gun: a simple handgun which isn't achieved until the final battle against Stray Dog. Due to this, Jennifer needs to be close to attack enemies and may become seriously injured, especially against a large group of Imps. Since Jennifer is a timid character, her melee attacks are neither powerful nor very long-ranged. Most items are hidden and must be uncovered by Brown, though the player can choose to avoid searching for these items in order to progress quickly.Ĭombat is almost exclusively melee in Rule of Rose, with a variety of improvised weapons available, such as kitchen knives and pipes. When tracking items this way, Brown will lead the player through the environments, scratching at doors in his way for the player to open. The same system allows the player to find health restoratives and other items which, while not essential to complete the game, can help the player and unlock hidden items.įinding items is very much like a treasure trial: the players selects an item from the inventory for Brown to locate another, which is then connected to the 'find' command until changed or removed. He can be injured to the point of collapsing, causing him to stop distracting enemies or tracking an item.īrown's ability to locate items is an important part of the game and is used in every chapter of Rule of Rose to progress further in game and plot. Brown cannot attack enemies, but can growl, which distracts some Imps and bosses, allowing Jennifer to retreat or land a few blows without fear of retaliation. The gameplay was most notable fail of the game with frustrating battle system, slow loading screens, too many enemies were put on screen and the boss battles were too dificult.Įarly in the game, the player encounters Brown, who accompanies Jennifer throughout the game and will respond to commands such as tracking items by scent, being commanded to 'stay' and being called to Jennifer's side. For most of the game, the player explores the environments and searches for items, furthering the plot by accomplishing tasks and experiencing cut-scenes, as well as encountering random enemy battles and a few boss battles.
