Mask of the Rose: Gameplay Trailer
Aside from the characters you can meet and potentially woo (including said Pages, Esq., a policeman, a priest, two of your housemates, a buttoned up lady in a big hat, a bearded personage that I personally believe has strong “secret werewolf” vibes, and a couple in eyes-wide shut-style masks who may or may not have just noticed you across the bar) there’s a lot to choose from in Mask Of The Rose. Do you want to be addressed as Sir? My Lady? Doctor? Citizen? Comrade? Secretary? Captain? What about your character portrait? How best to be dressed to get the most of of your current conversation? And you’re not just living out your own tale. There are others to collect, via a story crafting mini-game. What story are you going to tell, and how are you going to weave it together? Will you be a matchmaker? Create a doomed romance? Solve a murder?
A few months ago Failbetter Games announced that Mask Of The Rose was delayedinto April next year, but this is so weird and complex for a dating sim that I’m sort of surprised it’s not coming out in 2024. Luckily you don’t have to wait that long to play a little bit of it, because there’s ademo on Steamif this trailer has w(h)et your appetite.
