Highly doubt it, the ending ties up pretty much everything. I don't see how a sequel would've worked or benefited the story.

Too niche imo. The gameplay is a major turnoff to all but the most dedicated players and the only real market is in horror fans willing to stick with all the jank. A massive marketing campaign wouldn't have pushed anywhere close to the amount of copies they would have needed to break even.
Storywise it'd be difficult to make a sequel. Maybe set it in decades in the future with a new cast of orphaned kids and Jennifer as the headmistress but after that I don't know where you'd take it.

Probably the best thing to do with it would be a remake.
Tighten up the gameplay and make the graphics on par with the original's CG cutscenes, that'd really be something.

A movie that felt like it could have been Rule Of Rose: The Next Generation was The Orphanage from 2007. http://archive.vn/S6bVl I watched it a long time ago and there are a lot of familiar things.

The Orphanage was a really good slow-paced horror movie and one of my favorite lesser-known titles from the genre in recent history. More of an "oppressive dread" style horror like the classic SH games were rather than the endless stream of bad slasher or mind-numbingly boring camera watching Paranormal Activity types that were popular around the same time. GDT executive produced it and the director somehow went on to direct the 2nd bad Jurassic Park reboot movie because why not.
Def worth a watch imo. Ending is about as dark as RoR's is.

I had never played it personally (price and not bothering to find a ps2 emulator) but I watched Nitrorad's video on the game and it's really comprehensive.
I recommend watching it if you want a fair take on the game (and a plot summary) but also realize why the game is so interesting.

I'd love to see a remake, but I also feel like
it wouldn't be well received in the era of MeToo considering the implications of things like child molestation, Clara having an abortion, etc.

Call me stubborn but I’d rather the game be left alone. It’s so niche I can’t see a remake being successful anyway.

I think since it's a horror game and it's handled in a subtle way it would probably be fine. While it's not the exact same themes, you've got horror games like Devotion out there that also tackle topics that are politically sensitive and Yomawari 2 which has child suicide.

I actually think a remake could be success because a lot of people have heard of the game, but not many have played it due to it being so rare and also issues with the combat, I think there's enough curiosity out there that I can imagine there being enough gamers who would jump at a second chance to experience the game
But in general there's a strong desire for games that are different these days, so even if they hadn't heard of it before I think many would be intrigued and word travels around about games more than they did in 2006.
I really do think the game could find an audience nowadays.
