History VideoGame / ShallWeDateBloodInRoses

'''Shall We Date?: Blood In Roses''' is an installation in the ''Shall We Date?'' series. It's a visual novel-styled DatingSim with multiple routes available. The translated game was released on April 19th, 2015.

The game revolves a young witch named Mina Hambleton (although her name can be changed by the player) who stumbles across a supposedly abandoned castle where she's ambushed by a couple of vampires. She awakens in a prison cell and is greeted by her assailants: the charming Rupert and his irritable younger brother Alfred. They refuse to let her go unless she gives them her blood, which they take by force. After a while, she wakes up in a strange room where she meets a talking cat named Spade. He informs her that since she has special blood, she hasn't fully transformed into a vampire. However, she has ten days before she turns into one. In order to save herself, she must drink the dew from the roses in the garden.

!!Shall We Date?: Blood in Roses includes:
* BattleInTheRain: [[spoiler:This happens towards the end of Rupert's route. Just as he and Mina open the door to the Rose Garden, they find Jack and Daniel, both revealed as werewolves, and they engage in a fight to keep Rosapast out of the werewolves' hands. Made even more epic when Alfred and Raymond join in.]]
* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: With only two female characters available.
* ChooseYourOwnAdventure: It is possible to choose which character you can "date". The routes will have parallels drawn to the other routes available.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Jack's Farewell Ending is ''loathed'' by the fanbase.]]
* EntitledToHaveYou: Since both Rupert and Alfred took Mina's blood at the same time, they will develop a "she belongs to me" attitude.
* ForcefulKiss: This will happen to Mina at least once a route. That is until she returns her lover's feelings.
* InterspeciesRomance: Mina (a human witch turned into a vampire) with a vampire or werewolf lover.
** Harold, the father of vampires, and Tatiana, Mina's ancestor, also had this. Unfortunately, Tatiana was executed for being a witch, which sent Harold into a great depression.
* MultipleEndings: There are two endings available for each route: Serenade and Toccata. Each are earned by how many Moonbeams or Sunlights you gain from your choices. There is also a Farewell Ending, which happens if the player does get either of the aforementioned endings. This is the closet thing to a Bad Ending the player can get.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Mina's lover will typically be a personal space invader, whether it be him trying to kiss her, act intimate towards her, or try biting her.
** Other male characters not a part of her route will also be this way.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: In this game, vampires who take a human's blood can either turn them into a belonging, which is a person who has a free will, but they have to obey their master, or into a puppet, which reduces that person to a real [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin puppet]].
** In Rupert's route, it's established that vampire blood can heal injuries.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: These werewolves don't seem to transform during a full moon. Rather, the werewolves have wolf ears and a tail.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: If a vampire's eyes turn red, they're about to take someone's blood or they can order their belonging to do something, which is absolute.
* SiblingTriangle: Mina will be a part of this in Rupert and/or Alfred's route. The choices the player makes will determine if she will belong to one or both of them.
* StockholmSyndrome: TheHeroine inevitably falls for the man she chooses, especially since she has to love and be loved by her selected guy in order to get into the Rose Garden. Depending on which ending you get, she may not care about the garden in the end.
** LimaSyndrome: In return, the man will also develop feelings for her.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: It seems to have a small parallel to ''AudioPlay/DiabolikLovers'' only Mina isn't constantly being drained of her blood and she only has two vampire brothers (and the hotel owner) to worry about.
** Let's not forget ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' with the vampire and werewolf rivalry and love triangle.
* TheTragicRose: Rosapast, the guardian of the Rose Guardian, fits the bill perfectly. For Alfred and Rupert's routes, she's slowly dying and needs the love of Harold and Tatiana's ancestors to revive her.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Mina and Bridget are the only female characters to show up in the game.
* VampireHunter: [[spoiler:In Rupert's route, Jack and Daniel turn out to be this. They even had bullets that could kill vampires if the aim was right.]]

* TwoGirlsToATeam: Mina and Bridget are the only female characters to show up in the game.
