In this episode we cover the highly controversial horror game Rule of Rose. This is the second and final game released by development studio Punchline Inc., and it is quite the departure from their previous work. Rule of Rose covers many dark and twisted topics through a very unique and symbolic story. However, with its story centering around the abuse of children, it became the center of a brief moral panic in certain parts of Europe, ultimately leading to the game being banned in the UK. We get into the story surrounding the controversy as well as our thoughts on the game itself in this episode of Analog Schtick: A PlayStation 2 Podcast!
