Ib

Ib

Operating System: PC
Rating: 5/5
Comments: This was actually better than I was expecting it to be. After the failed attempt at Ao Oni I was expecting some lame chase game. this was pleasantly surprising!

You play as a little girl called Ib (or Eve, depends on the translation really) who gets lost in an art gallery. She looks at a strange painting and suddenly everyone vanishes from the gallery! When you try to find them you realise you can step into this large painting in the centre of the gallery which takes you to a strange world.

This game has very nice gameplay, with little things that will make you jump simply because they pop out of nowhere. There's also multiple endings and I was determined to get the best one because Garry is so sweet.

It was well put together and thought out, and all done in pixel RPG style. Despite the art style you really get quite attached to the main characters.
