Rule of Rose/YMMV


 * Alternate Character Interpretation - There's a theory that claims  This casts  actions in a somewhat more sympathetic light, and casts an unfavorable light over.
 * Awesome Music: The entire soundtrack.
 * Everybody Is Jesus in Purgatory
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel - The Unmarried Mermaid. So much. Any of the monsters in the game, even the lowliest imp, can be pretty terrifying.
 * To say nothing of the Aristocrats themselves.
 * Les Yay - A bunch. And all those involved are children.
 * Unlike the infamous trailer would hint, the examples are quite non-sexual in nature.
 * Narm - YMMV, but while the Mermaid's appearance and implications are quite horrifying, the sounds she makes can make the fight hard to take seriously: "Wheeee!!"
 * No Such Thing as Bad Publicity - Averted, big time. The developers hired a publicist to hype up the game in the Italian press by significantly overstating its graphic and sexual content in an effort to cause controversy. It worked a little too well once the made-up story reached the UK, where its release was canceled due to the ensuing controversy.
 * Player Punch - Brown. Oh, god, Brown.
 * Tear Jerker - The ending.
 * That One Boss - Most likely from the Mermaid Princess chapter.
 * Warped Aesop - The game's fairytale narrative is rife with these, and each episode's storybook is an increasingly appalling version of this, all to drive home what monsters human beings are.
