Ib isn't a particularly difficult game, apart from a few "chase" sequences, since the developer intended it to be able to be finished by players of any skill level, and most of the puzzles are actually pretty solid.
There are good endings and bad endings to get depending on your choices throughout the game and Ib's bond with the people she meets, and a playthrough will probably take a few hours if you take your time. There are a lot of unsettling scenes that creep you out far more than a lot of other games manage with a lot more blood and guts, and Ib manages to be more memorable as a result. ugh! What makes Ib stand out is this decision to go for the more surreal scares and strangeness rather than relying on gore or ultra violence. There's also one extremely tense scene with a room full of dolls that. Jump scares? Sure, but some really effective subtle creep-outs like a ball slowly bouncing down the stairs towards you or increasingly irate messages scrawled on the wall as you go do wonders for the mood. Though the visuals can occasionally make it hard to tell what you're looking at, the game still packs some surprisingly scary moments for its visual style. Ib may need to forge a bond if you want the best ending, and, well, let's just say the gallery reacts poorly to people who break the rules.Īnalysis: Ib is kind of an odd duck.

You can save your game at writing desks, which you should do frequently since it turns out art galleries are unfriendly places when the lights go out. Use the keys to move around, to interact with things, and to open your inventory. Though Ib was made with RPG Maker 2000, you won't find any battles here. With no choice but to follow a strange message begging her to come come come, Ib ventures deep into the gallery and tumbles into a surreal world where art, humanity, and safety are largely open to interpretation. Which might be spooky enough, if not for the fact that it's a most unusual darkness, and it happened all at once and seemed to take all the other people away with the light. In Ib, a free horror adventure made by Kouri and translated by vgperson, a little girl out on a day trip with her parents suddenly finds herself trapped in the gallery after dark. They're quiet, they're filled with unusual visions, and after all, one person's art is another person's nightmare.
When you think about it, art galleries can be pretty creepy places.
