Dive into the shadowy depths of Mask of the Rose, a captivating visual novel where romance intertwines with mystery in a reimagined Victorian London. Developed and published by Failbetter Games, creators of Fallen London, Sunless Sea, and Sunless Skies, this game invites you to lose your heart to a stolen city—quite literally—after London is dragged underground by bats in 1862. Released on June 8, 2023, Mask of the Rose offers a rich tapestry of love, intrigue, and gothic wonder, set against the eerie backdrop of the Neath, a subterranean world brimming with secrets.
In this unique tale, every playthrough is different. Pursue love, friendship, or something more intimate with a diverse cast of characters—human and otherwise. Will you court Archie, the medical student grappling with the Neath’s strange laws of death? Or perhaps woo a towering, cloaked figure with a penchant for love stories and a chiropteran air? The choice is yours, and it’s not limited to romance—play as a matchmaker, a platonic confidant, or even a solitary soul navigating this bizarre new reality. With options to customize your character’s gender, background, and relationship preferences, the game adapts to your desires, ensuring a deeply personal experience.
But romance isn’t the only thread to unravel. A murder mystery beckons: the first victim since London’s fall is inexplicably alive and eager for justice. Unfortunately, your housemate Archie is the prime suspect. Will you investigate the crime, crafting theories with the game’s innovative storycrafting mechanic, or let the mystery simmer while you explore other pursuits? Perhaps you’ll take up work as a census-taker for the enigmatic Masters of the Bazaar, probing the love lives of London’s citizens with delightfully intrusive questions. Or maybe you’ll assist a friend in plotting her next novel, weaving tales of passion and peril.
Set across three evocative seasons—the Season of Confessions, the Season of Yule, and the Season of Love—Mask of the Rose lets you shape the first Feast of the Rose, a festival destined to echo through London’s underground history. The city itself is a character, rendered in glorious 2D art that blends Victorian noir with Lovecraftian dread. From the drowned ruins of Parliament to the shifting streets teeming with otherworldly beings, every corner pulses with atmosphere and lore.
This is more than a dating sim—it’s a complex social simulation with unparalleled player freedom. Choices matter, from the clothes you wear (altering how others perceive you) to the stories you spin. With multiple endings, rich conversation systems, and a cast brimming with personality, Mask of the Rose offers endless replayability. Whether you’re a veteran of the Fallen London universe or a newcomer, this prequel welcomes all into its deep, dark, and marvelous embrace. Seek love, solve a murder, or simply watch out for the bats—the Neath awaits.
