On the 3rd of October, Kouri - the creator of Ib - has revealed on his Twitter that he is planning to remake the game for Ib's 10th Anniversary.
Translated, the Tweet says: "Next year will be the 10th anniversary of Ib's release, so I'm working on a remake.
We are planning to sell it for a fee next year."
For those who don't know, Ib is a horror game that was released in Japan back in 2012, and translated into English by vgperson. Despite being made in RPG Maker 2000, the game features no battles, instead focusing more on exploration and puzzle-solving.
The game stars a girl named Ib, who visits the famous Guertena's Art Gallery with her parents. As Ib goes off alone to admire the exhibits, she suddenly ends up arriving in a strange dimension within the gallery. Ib soon acquires a red rose, which becomes attached to her life. Every time she takes damage, a petal falls off. If they all fall off, the game ends. Ib can restore her rose back to full health by dipping it in water vases.
As Ib solves puzzles, as well as avoiding the various dangerous paintings and sculptures that have come to life, she soon comes across a man named Garry and another girl named Mary, both who have also been sent to this bizarre dimension. Can the three escape the art gallery and make back home alive?
As of this writing, it is currently unknown if the remake will be released outside of Japan or not. You can bet that this writer here certainly hopes so. If you're interested,
why not try the original game out yourself?
