Video games ethics
Rule of Rose is a computer game developed by Punchline/ Shirogumi. It is a survival horror game that has caused a moral outcry, many people questioning ethics of the game. Published in Japan by Sony Computer entertainment Sony refused to publish the game in the US because of the game's erotic undertones involving a cast of female minors. The developers have disagreed with this, saying that the sexual themes are not the main focus and are only a small part of the game. The game was instead published by Atlus. The game has been banned in several countries including the UK, Italy, Australia and Poland, regarded by many as “obscene”.
