Children are smarter than we give them credit for, argues the complicated cult horror game Rule of Rose.
Children know more than we give them credit for. Much of our culture is built around the assumption that kids are unruly by nature, and need to be molded by rigid hegemonies. Public school curriculums are often built around something called an “indoctrination model”—a regimented, state-sponsored brainwashing plan meant to stave off creative and intellectual divergences.
But kids will learn, whether or not we teach them. They’re already asking the questions fascists are afraid of., mines those very fears for a sticky slice of queer horror. The game follows timid and frail 19-year-old Jennifer, as she traverses a dilapidated and overgrown orphanage. No sooner does she follow an erstwhile boy, however, than Jennifer is knocked unconscious and forced into a makeshift casket.
This is the birth of the Red Crayon Aristocracy. The two girls create a secret club to be each other’s prince and princess—an excuse to see each other every day. Soon, Wendy springs Jennifer from her house and brings her to live at the orphanage. But jealousy over a new puppy and less time together drives Wendy to gang up on Jennifer. She prompts the other children to bully her, then to kill her puppy—all in hopes of spending more time with her.
