I'll make a rant on a game instead. This time, Ib.
First heard some guy classmates talking about this game, Ib during May, i think. They seem really excited so i joined the conversation and they told me more about this game.
So they said it was a horror game. WHAT HORROR NO WAY UH-UH. I'm a total chicken when it comes to literally ANYTHING horror-related. Even ghost stories! Reminiscing the days where i played Hotel 626 when i was 12 with a bunch of equally chicken guy friends back in primary school. I had nightmares for a few nights. D':
Despite them telling me it's not really scary, i still didn't have the courage (or time :/) to play the game. Then Felix told me that it's a 8-bit game and it wasn't really scary as there weren't any ghosts and all. Just some moving potraits and sculptures. (Oops is that a spoiler? :D) That sorta relieved me abit. But still, the thought of playing a horror game alone still terrifies me. D:
After a few months, Ib suddenly got really popular and even cosplays of the game were out! Many said that it's a really good game and worth a play! So i finally decided to do some research about the game and even downloaded it wtf WHAT AM I THINKING?! D: And even twinneh Joanne played the game and made a review of it here.
So during the Raya holidays, i dragged my semi-chicken (LOL. She's not really a chicken but her balls of steel are greater than mine! xD) sister along for company!
Wtf why is the opening music so creepy?! Makes me want to 'exit' already LOL!
So the game started off quite smoothly, until...
SHIT SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN NOOOOOO.
Afterwards, the music got really creepy and eerie but i still proceeded... With a heavy heart orz. Some videos on YouTube has shown the player playing in window mode (like Twinneh too) but sis stubbornly wanted it on full screen mode. ;___;
Actually the game is sorta like a puzzle game where you have to solve something to get to another stage. Oh, and the creepy music changes in the game too. Wonder where Kouri get all those eerie tracks. Basically it's the music that's making the whole game intimidating plus a few life-threatening moments like getting chased by The Lady in Red and those headless mannequins. D:
But from the entire game, this was the part that scared me shitless.
And i made Garry die. T_____T I'm so sorry Ib!
Ib has mulitiple endings. And to get those better ones it's best if you play the game with a walkthrough. But despite playing the game with the guide of a walkthrough, i still got a very crappy ending which was the " Together, forever " one which was mad crreepy. :S MARY YOU STALKER.
I guess i wasn't paying much attention to the walkthrough and wanted to TRY to finish the game myself. But i ended up getting the sucky ending FML. :/
So i went on YouTube and watched all the other endings and The Forgotten Portrait was the saddest IMO. Poor Garry! T________T
Conclusion is! This game is really simple but with it's awesome plot, it manages to provide a very satisfying game play. PLUS the creepy music. It's more of 'disturbing' than 'scary' IMO. I guess even the chicken of all chickens will manage to play through without getting a heart attack lol.
Haha Garry's so funny! xD
I enjoyed myself very much while playing this game. But i was grabbing a pillow all along... Just incase. The game has it's very kancheong moments but nothing too terrifying. Definetely worth a play! Or if you're planning to start playing horror games, give this for a start!
I actually dislike Mary in the game... But i kinda feel like cosplaying her. Would love to cosplay as Ib instead but i don't think i'll be able to pull Ib off well. Feel as though i'm more suited for Mary. :o Hmm, might add Mary in my Comic Fiesta plan.
Ending this post with a very spoiler-y and disturbing video from the game. :3
Now, back to freaking accounts. Hello numbers. :/
