A Rose in the Twilight is a puzzle-platformer from a Japanese developer that tells the story of the union of a stone giant and a fragile little princess who have joined forces in order to get out of the creepy castle they have become prisoners of. The castle, like the main character, is under the influence of a curse, because of which everything on its territory exists outside of colors and time. You will learn the mysterious past of the princess bit by bit, collecting "bloody memories" - real blood from the bodies of those who died from the terrible curse of the castle cloisters.
The game has its own unique visual style and soundtrack, which together make up the indescribable atmosphere of a scary, but in its own way charming bedtime story. At first, the puzzles seem extremely simple, but this soon changes, and by the end of the game you won’t be able to deal with them so easily.
The ability to play as two completely different characters, taking advantage of their personal advantages - the strength and indestructibility of a stone giant or miniature to overcome narrow passages and the ability to control the blood of a princess - complicates the gameplay, making it more varied and interesting. And it is always easier to cope with difficulties not alone, but with a faithful ally at your side. The plot of A Rose in the Twilight is quite unpretentious and simple, but still the game can easily captivate you for several hours due to the chic atmosphere and a bunch of entertaining puzzles.
