I'm surprised no one has submitted a review yet. This was written a number of weeks after I had finished the game, so some things I had to glean from interviews with publishers and the GameSpot forums. However, it's spoiler-free! solarsugar.livejournal.com/73072.html#cutid1 |

solarsugar! you're in the redcrayonclub, aren't you? i'm kingofdecay.
what a grand review! its especially nice coming from an 'average, everyday' gamer - no offense of course, its just that most reviews are done by elitists who play games for a living and have rediculous standards and all they want to do is complain. your review is refreshing in its lack of pretension.

Great review! It's so hard to describe the game to people without giving spoilers (when I was outlining it to one of my professors, I had to tell him about the end) but you did a masterful job.
I like how you broke everything down, too; because, as much as the combat system makes me want to bash things with a pipe in real life, the rest of the game so makes up for it.
Also, I second spooky on that quote...pure genius.
And what is this redcrayonclub?

solarsugar! you're in the redcrayonclub, aren't you? i'm kingofdecay. Oh, for real?? Fancy meeting you here! You know, I was thinking about linking your fanfiction here (with full credit and permission, natch). But, hey~. =D Thank you and empressjess for the lovely compliments. Oh, and redcrayonclub is an RoR fan community on LiveJournal. One of only two core communities, if I'm right. The other is Russian. |

Just wait until I join! Though I guess it would be just me posting stuff similar to what I put here. |

Eh, you were outlining this game to a prof? Whafor? I wanted to write my psychoanalysis paper on Rule of Rose instead of one of the boring 19th century ghost stories. He would've agreed had he had time to play the game. |

Most of the reviews for the game are shockingly inaccurate.

Well, the one I read on Gamespot was okay. OwO
And I loved your review! So very down-to-earthy. Perfect for a person who's curious and wants to see what an actual gamer thinks - not those snooty reviewers. Perfect. OwO

I mean inaccurate more on the scale of the plot of the game. They all tend to say stuff like, a girl is buried alive, etc.
