Ib

Unlike games where you are given all the keys to move forward and understand, where you can be disturbed by a scenario or elements that you don't like, Ib gives you the advantage of making your own story.

The exploration is also good, you have to explore a lot to continue the game but that the exploration is not restrictive, that the game makes you want to explore, thanks to its secrets, its many paintings etc...

A game that showed me that you don't have to play a Light Novel to have a good story, that you don't have to have good graphics to have an incredible atmosphere, that you don't have to make a love story to make a relationship between two characters very touching.

The moving soundtrack, which I still listen to for inspiration, further added the depth of emotional experience while playing the game.

The difficulty balance was perfect for me ‐ tricky enough to make me do some thinking but not enough that I ever got frustrated or needed a walkthrough.

This sense of control is one of the game’s greatest strengths, as players are never forced into overwhelming scenarios unless they actively choose to expand their menu.
