Sorry if there is a topic about this game, but couldn't find it and Ib is too small for the search engine.
Ib is an Horror RPG made in RPG Maker. At first, you might wonder how a game in RPG Maker (AKA - Top down 2D RPG) can be classified as horror. Well to be honest, I didn't know how either until I played it. It is not something easily explainable, it is the feeling the game gives you (although there is one part that is DEFINITELY horror worthy, and I am not talking about jump scares).
You are a little girl named Ib who is visiting an art galery with your parents. Suddenly, the lights go out and you are alone. The paintings begin coming to life and you see yourself delving into one, reaching a strange world. Here you will find friends and not so friendly people, and with multiple endings depending on your actions and the horror factor this world puts into your head - you are in for a heck of a ride.
This is not an RPG where you see an enemy and for example go into a turn based fight. In this RPG, you can't fight back - you are defenseless. Your only choice upon the sight of an enemy is to run. Solving puzzles and riddles while watching your step, this RPG is the best RPG made in RPG Maker I ever played and I guess you should play too. The music is very good as well.
If you don't want to go in this ride by yourself, I suggest you seeing a playthrough. Even without playing, it will induce the horror factor and the story will suck you in. Here is my personal favourite (strong language): Cry Plays: Ib [P1]- YouTube

Play it or if you already did, post your opinions. I already gave mine: An horror RPG game with story that pushes you to go forward, good music and really induces horror.
