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.
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.
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.
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

James Bond 007: The Stealth Affair007 James Bond: The Stealth Affair, also known as Operation Stealth in Europe, is an adventure game from Delphine Software International, released in 1990. The game is mainly the work of Paul Cuisset (programming) and Jean Baudlot (sound).
The game was released with the Bond license in the United States, although this led to some inconsistencies as the MI6 agent appeared to be taking his orders from the CIA.
The Stealth Affair mainly features a point-and-click style of gameplay reminiscent of many of the LucasArts adventures of the time, as well as a number of more action-oriented elements including an overhead viewed maze section and a scene in which Glames/Bond attempts to escape from an underwater cavern before he runs out of oxygen.
The cracked Amiga version of the game featured a primitive synthesized voice that would perform all the dialogue in the game if 1MB or more RAM was installed. Unfortunately the crack featured a bug which meant that if the player attempted to click the mouse button in order to skip through the speech faster the game would freeze and have to be rebooted. For this reason many seasoned players would actually remove the memory expansion before playing the game for any extended period of time.Action Stealth Mystery

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed KingDragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is the eighth installment in the Dragon Quest series, developed by Level-5 and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It was also later released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015.
It is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game with random enemy encounters, simple turn-based combat mechanics, and management of a party consisting of four characters, each belonging to a clearly defined class. Unlike its predecessors in the series and most Japanese RPGs in general, the game features a continuous world with fairly vast landscapes and integrated towns and dungeons, as opposed to world map traveling and locations represented by icons. The game features full camera rotation and optional first-person view.
Like in the previous Dragon Quest games, many objects can be interacted with; for example, barrels can be physically lifted, carried, and broken, to reveal items hidden within.Action Fantasy
