i always expect to like these well known rpg maker games a little more than i do, and was kind of feeling that way most of my time with ib, but by the end it had grown on me somewhat

there are a lot of fun little touches with this one, and while this game dispenses with trying to be spooky fairly quickly, the light scares at the beginning are good. the theming of the game taking place in an art museum means looking at and trying to find each painting is fun, and the ability to zoom in to look in more detail is a nice touch. I also like that since ib is so young, she won’t know all of the words in the titles of paintings, so for it to be added to the main menu, you have to be with someone who can tell you, which adds a fun extra element to the painting finding.


i enjoyed solving all of the puzzles throughout too, especially the extra areas at the end.
