The wonderful folks at Rule of Rose Mysteries have done excellent work compiling all the object interaction quotes, all the optionalcharacter moments, all the hidden documents and even unused sound clips for those of you wanted to know what the story was.įor the short version, most of the content of the game is framed in Jennifer's memories of her time in and before the orphanage - you'll notice that certain people (who she presumably interacted with less) are presented as less than fully interacting people - for example, the boys, who she just remembers stickfighting, the older Clara and so forth. Rule of Rose Mysteries for all the hidden exposition and plot that should have been hidden so much I assume that they will be putting up the final part they recorded after someone tells them they didn't actually beat the game before too long, but since they told the audience it was over, I assume some of you might be a little confused (especially since Pat and Matt spend the whole overlooking the existence of Wendy, the Sickly Princess - who is arguably the most important character). The plot of the game is not laid out very well and a good 60% of the exposition and character moments are hidden and optional (for example there are at least 4 diaries/journals in the game they never found) and a lot of the character specific moments happen in particular rooms in particular months that you have no reason to go to. I don't blame Pat and Matt for not following the plot - I had to get some outside direction after I beat too it to put it all together.

The fact that three girls could be fooled into killing a puppy is both incredibly disturbing and utterly heart-wrenching at the same time.I first got interested in (and heard for the first time) Rule of Rose from its initial appearance on Shitstorm 2 and played it to completion in between that time and when the revisited it in Shitstorm 3. Under the orders of Wendy, Diana, Meg and Eleanor kidnapped a defenseless puppy, shoved it in a bag, took it to the attic, and beat it to death with hammers. That brief moment in the opening then gains some meaning. However, we are shown during the true ending that Brown was actually a puppy when the events took place, similar to how Jennifer was actually a young girl. We're never told how they do this in the game itself and are lead to assume that, because of the cutscene that shows the imps sweeping a non-bagged Brown and the fact that Brown had previously been seen by both Jennifer and the player as a full-grown dog (that would have been hard to put in a bag while still living) up to that point in the game, Brown was put into the bag after his death. By the end of the game we know that Wendy and the rest of the Aristocrats killed Brown. Remember the moment where Diana, Meg and Eleanor are shown hammering the coffin? Well, right before that there is a moment showing them hammering a bag in the attic.

There is a scene that is very easily missed in the opening.

Upon receiving it, Gregory said one final apology to Joshua, then put himself out of his own misery. He fell to his knees and begged for something, which turned out to be a gun. When he saw the second 'Joshua' again, Gregory had a moment of clarity and realized what he had done.

Gregory would then be driven to massacre an entire orphanage full of children, the new fake 'Joshua' included.

Unfortunately, a scornful little girl took advantage of this and turned Gregory into her own literal attack dog by dressing up as Joshua. Gregory's sanity eroded so much after the second loss of 'Joshua' that he would obey the order of anything resembling him.

For a time, the little girl sympathized with him and played along, but she too abandoned him when a girl from a nearby orphanage rescued her. He couldn't cope with it, so he kidnapped a little girl and pretended she was his son. When the boy died of illness, Gregory was driven mad with grief.

Read his journal and you can see just how much his life revolved around making Joshua happy. He was just a single father who loved his son dearly. Gregory's entire character is one giant tear-jerker.You shouldn't be able to feel so sorry for the person responsible for almost everything bad that happened during the game.
