Ib review

-Review by Miku

Summary:
Ib is an RPG Maker horror game created by Kouri about a little girl named Ib who gets separated from her parents in an art gallery and ends up entering an art piece in the gallery and getting trapped. Her and another human trapped in there, Garry, try to escape this gallery alive.

Gameplay:
In the game, you control Ib but also play as Garry in some parts. I lot of the gameplay includes exploration and puzzles, similar to some other games in the genre. You find a rose, and as you take damage you lose petals of the rose. The game is full of suspense and will startle you in some areas, for instance, when some of the paintings spring to life and crawl after you. The characters and the story draw you in. Ib has no readable dialogue within the game but you still feel close to her regardless. The atmosphere of the game is a unique one and is well designed.

This game also features 7 unique endings to the game heavily based on what you choose and don't choose to do, and on your interactions with the characters and the environment.

Graphics and sound:
The pixel work is very cute and distinctive, being custom made. The music is very fitting and adds to the eerie aura the game gives. Sounds effects are also nice. PROs: CONs:
 * Interesting story and characters
 * Good atmosphere
 * Beautifully composed pieces
 * Puzzles are fairly simple

Conclusion:
I loved this game since the first time I played it and I think it deserves a very good score. It remains one of my favorite games because of the unique atmosphere it creates and the well-written characters.

I give Ib 5 creepy Lady in Red paintings out of 5 Score: 5/5
