Glass Rose (Japanese: 玻璃ノ薔薇 Hepburn: Garasu no Bara) is a survival horror adventure video game that takes place in the 1920s. The player assumes the role of Takashi Kagetani — a rookie reporter. After waking up on the floor of a strange house seventy years in the past, Takashi must embark on a new case and in answering these questions he can return to his own time.[citation needed] Takashi realises that the time warp has left him with special powers - the ability to read a person’s mind, with which he has a brief glimpse into the mind of the person he is talking with.[citation needed] These powers will be invaluable to Takashi if he is to decipher what is fact and what is fiction.
