Love 365: Rose in the Embers, Tsumugo
Apr. 12th, 2020 05:30 pmIn 1912, an earnest Japanese girl from the country slowly gets to know a mysterious horror writer, and learns about what hides beneath the masks people wear.
This was mostly pretty good, it was exploring Japanese literary tropes and historical prejudices in ways I'm sure went over my head a lot, but I got the gist enough to enjoy it, especially the way it had fun with some gothic and fairytale tropes I did recognise. It reminded me a little of Northanger Abbey, though playing everything a lot more straight, and with a rather heavy handed PREJUDICE IS BAD message.
It's free with ads on Love365 for the next few days.
Content note: Xenophobia. Also the game's prologue has consent issues, though this route only implies them vaguely in a flashback, and the love interest himself is fine.
