I've been eagerly devouring everything related to Atlus' upcoming lolita-creepout, Rule of Rose, and while I wish i could deliver unto ye your own Kotaku-flavored gallery, that didn't work so well earlier today.

I will simply link, with a heavy heart, and give you the crowning image from this particular batch: fat scary kid with lipstick.

Unfortunately it looks like the difference between in-game and prerendered shots is going to be fairly astronomical, and it doesn't seem like much headway has been made in terms of play graphics. Still, the setting seems so bizarre, a sort of steampunk horror softened by childishness, that I imagine the atmosphere will fill in quite a bit. Eliza Gauger
