Rating: PG-13
Pairing: F/M, F/F
Description: A somewhat paint by numbers fantasy otome

Blue Rose is a straightforward fantasy adventure Otome. The MC, Lena, is a Templar who is wounded when her party is ambushed by a dragon in the forest. She is separated from her group, and after falling off a cliff she wakes up in the hut of a hunter. It turns out that even though she thought the area she was passing through was empty of civilization, there is a little hidden town here full of people who have run away from their countries for one reason or another.

The first part of the game is you recovering and meeting some of the townsfolk. The second half is action heavy, as you try to protect the town from an outside threat.

Art and music wise the game is about as ok as the rest of it. There's nothing particularly bad, and there's nothing that stands out. There are a few small worldbuilding elements that are interesting, but overall the setting feels generic. I think if you are looking for some comfortable, predictable story and have an LI type that you know you like romancing in any situation, you will probably still find a run of Blue Rose entertaining, but it ended up failing to elicit in me any emotion.
