One of the highly requested games that I play during October 2023 for Croaktober was Rule of Rose, a classic PS2-era gem that was banned in a few countries for its depiction of children throughout the game. I found the game to be really odd, with a hard to follow storyline until you really read up on what’s going on.

I was able to unlock almost every costume in the game in this particular playthrough, and I might actually come back and do another run with the squid/octopus costume at a later date just because of how wacky it looks!
