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

Boktai: The Sun Is in Your HandHideo Kojima, the man that's most known for bringing the Metal Gear Solid series to life, has come up with an extremely ambitious idea for the Game Boy Advance: harness the energy of sunlight for a videogame. Enter Boktai, a vampire-hunting action and adventure game that not only encourages players to get outside and play in the fresh air...it almost requires it. Utilizing a special cartridge with a built-in a sun sensor, the amount of sunlight outside the game determines how much sunlight shows up in the actual adventure. And since the player's gun is actually fueled by sunlight, the more sunlight you can get the stronger and more capable you are in the game.Action Horror Stealth

The Lost VikingsThe Lost Vikings is a puzzle-platform video game developed by Silicon & Synapse (now Blizzard Entertainment) and published by Interplay.
The game features infinite opportunities of retries in case the player loses one of the Vikings.
In 2015, The Lost Vikings were added as a playable hero in Heroes of the Storm, allowing players to control the three Vikings as individual units, making a unique departure from the typical heroes available.
Character abilities:
All three Vikings (Erik, Baleog and Olaf) have three health points which they can lose by getting hurt by enemies or by falling from great heights, and the ability to carry and use items, mainly keys, bombs, and food (which restore health points). Each of the Vikings has a unique set of abilities:
Erik can run faster than the other two, can jump, and can bash through some walls (and enemies) with his helmet.
Baleog can kill enemies with his sword, or from a distance with his bow (and a "life-time supply of arrows"). The bow can also be used to hit switches from a distance.
Olaf can block enemies and their projectiles with his shield, and use his shield as a hang glider. Olaf's shield can also be used as a stepping stone for Erik to enable him to reach higher ground, which would not be possible without the shield.Action Fantasy Comedy Science fiction
Space Station Silicon ValleyA space station that was built more than 1000 years before by Earth, shortly after its launch, vanished. The station has since then mysteriously reappeared and it's bound on a collision course with Earth. Unless Dan and Evo can stop it, all will surely perish. The idea behind the game is fairly simplistic: players take on the role of Evo, a robotic microchip that possesses the unique ability to take over the bodies of dead (robotic) animals. Evo makes his way through a variety of levels and worlds filled with different objectives and, of course, different animals.Action Comedy Science fiction
