She’s just a living painting and after she finds out that Garry knows what she really is, the only choice she has left is murder. A room filled with books listing some of works around the museum crosses his path and in one of those books is a page titled “Mary (?)”. Ib finds many strange things such as adorable little bunnies that somehow give Garry the creeps but Garry finds something one better. After Ib and Garry are separated by stone thorns that jut up out of the ground, she travels with Mary to find a way to reunite with one another. And from this meaning comes her true nature. Her’s is yellow which, if I am correct, stands for vanity. Even further along the way, they meet a third child named Mary, who, as you may guess, also holds a rose. Garry decides to follow Ib as they try to figure out where they are, why they are there, and how to get out. After recovering his rose from a painting that is eating off the petals on it and healing it in water, he comes to and addresses himself as Garry. He, too, holds a rose, yet is blue and not red.

She avoids them all and finds a young man who was not as lucky as she. For “If the rose is to wilt, so will you too”. Along the way, she finds a lovely red rose sitting in a little vase of water and notices that every time she is hurt by one of these things, petals slowly fall off of the rose. What’s more is that she’s transported to a strange world below the museum where living paintings, deadly statues, and a psychopathic girl runs rampant. Ib is about a 9 year old girl named, well, Ib, who goes to an art museum only to find that she ends up the only person there. Ah, but I’m getting a slight bit off topic. I tried looking into specifically who Kouri is but I couldn’t find much. Ib is a particularly intriguing game made by Kouri. 🙂Ībout the game (WARNING *contains spoilers*) This game, ever since I heard of it almost a year ago, holds a special place in my heart. I’m proud to say that I’m a part of that cult, too. A horror game that has a unique story, an interesting few characters, and a cult following to top it off. Yup! This week, I’m talking about the famous indie horror, Ib.
