Mask of the Rose: A Victorian Gothic Mystery of Love and Intrigue

Dive into the darkly humorous underworld of Fallen London in *Mask of the Rose*, a visual novel unlike any other. This isn’t your typical romance; it’s a complex social simulation offering unparalleled player freedom within a subterranean Victorian city where death is a mere inconvenience.

London, now residing in a vast cavern, is ruled by mysterious, cloaked Masters obsessed with love stories. You, a doctor’s housemate, find yourself embroiled in the investigation of the city’s first murder – a case with a surprisingly well-recovered victim.

But solving the murder is just one path. Earn money as a census-taker, crafting intriguing theories or helping a friend write her novel. Your choices shape your reputation; fashion dictates social interactions, opening doors with the right (or wrong!) outfit.

Romance blossoms in unexpected places. Pursue enduring love, casual flings, or aromantic/asexual relationships. A dynamic story-crafting system lets you manipulate the murder mystery, changing motives, locations, even the victim!

Your past and background influence your journey. Were you gentry or a tailor? Your choices impact interactions with a colourful cast: your assertive housemate Griz, the enigmatic Milton, and many more. Each character offers unique relationships, romantic or platonic.

Explore Fallen London across three seasons, culminating in the city’s first Feast of the Rose. Uncover the murderer’s identity, but the *why* remains a deeper, more intriguing secret, encouraging replayability. Whether you’re a veteran of the Fallen London universe or a newcomer, *Mask of the Rose* offers a captivating, self-contained experience filled with mystery, romance, and darkly comedic charm.
