Rose and Camellia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
Beat her cheek!


From Nigoro, the same people who made La-Mulana, comes a flash game called Rose & Camellia.

With Shunsuke, the eldest son of the Tsubakikoji family dead, his wife Reiko holds claim to being the head of the family and house. However, Shunsuke's sisters and mother object to this as Reiko was born a commoner. So with the family turning against her, what's a forlorn widow to do? Slap these bitches, of course! Join Reiko as she slaps all the women in the family until they accept her as the head of the household.

The basic mechanics are that you move the mouse pointer quickly over the face to the left to slap your opponent, and you move the mouse pointer quickly across the bottom of the window to the right to dodge. Think a cat fighting Punch-Out!! set in the Regency period with some Japanese anachronisms thrown in.

This game can be found translated into English here.

There's also a sequel released where Saori, the youngest daughter tries to claim the house from Reiko using the same methods as Reiko in the first game. It's available here in Japanese although you do have to beat the first game to get to it. A translation for the second game can be found on youtube here.


This is the elegant art of feminine conflict:

"Final Fantasy IX called, they want their unexpected final boss back."
"Looks to me a Jane Austen version of Punch-Out!!."
