Rule of Rose

The main character of the game, an unlucky, helpless, and timid girl who's dragged into an alarming world and forced to obey the ridiculous rules of the Aristocrats of the Red Crayon.

Jennifer's loyal companion, a dog rescued by her in the airship, who will obey her every command.

The name of the girls' make-believe society, bound by the rules they've created, where monthly tributes are demanded and punishment follows if rules are defied.

Leader of the Aristocrats of the Red Crayon, she is strong-willed, selfish, proud, and absolutely hates grown-ups.

The second in command of the Aristocrats, she is intelligent but inflexible, considers herself faultless, and invented numerous devices for the airship.

Ranked No. 3 in the Aristocrats of the Red Crayon, she is distant and cold, carrying a bird cage in anticipation of finding a bird that will bring her happiness.

A kind and admirable girl who takes care of the rabbits and is the only one who's friendly to Jennifer.

Formerly the lowest ranked, she now works hard to fulfill her monthly tribute and maintain her new rank, including sewing rags with a threadless sewing machine.

He often checks on Jennifer and the other children, but his intentions are unknown, and the children simply think of him as the man who gives them treats.

The first enemy Jennifer encounters, it will cling to her and not let go, appearing in every chapter.

An enemy that lurches towards Jennifer in a peculiar way.

An enemy that hops around and will flounder around violently if attacked or touched.

The first weapon Jennifer will find. Unfortunately, it's not much better than fighting with bare hands.

Better than the dessert fork, but still not very effective in a fight.

This weapon will enable Jennifer to attack more effectively with greater range.

This is the most powerful weapon, and it's also good for attacking from a distance. You can reload it by pressing the L1 button.

You can get some biscuits by finding this.

These will restore Jennifer's physical strength. There are other restoration items as well.

The key to the One-Leaf Door.

These are said to be written by Stray Dog. You'll get one in each chapter of the game. They're really strange, because they seem to describe the events occurring around Jennifer.

Talk to the Bucket Knight or look at your storybooks for clues. When you are lost, his hints should prove helpful, and the storybooks you acquire may also show you what needs to be done.

Are you sure you've found all the items you need? Think about the situation and any unanswered mysteries. Make Brown track down any unfound items. Those items may lead in a new direction.

Some doors can't be opened, and others can only be opened with keys. Also, some doors can only be opened at certain times.

Dropped items aren't completely lost; they're stored in a Rubbish Bin to get them back. The number of items that Jennifer can carry is limited, so drop any unwanted items. Any storybooks or diaries you drop can be viewed at any time by selecting "File" from the Item Menu.

You don't have to fight every enemy you encounter. Sometimes, it's better to run from them, because if Jennifer takes too much damage, her movement will be slowed.

Sometimes, Brown follows the scent of an item and runs into something blocking his path such as a wall or closed door. When this happens, refer to the map, take a detour, and try again.
