A new PlayStation release has been announced, as PLAYISM are to deliver a remake of cult classic horror Ib. Set in a mysterious art gallery, Ib was originally developed as a free title by indie developer kouri in 2012. Next year, PlayStation gamers will be able to experience the cult classic horror Ib for the first time.
Ib is a remake of the 2D exploration-adventure set in a creepy, mysterious art gallery. The design is intended for a wider audience, regardless of how much experience you have with video games. Players of the original free version will also notice the visual overhaul, as well as brand new elements not previously available.
As a young girl named Ib visits an art gallery with her parents, she suddenly realises that she is alone.
As she searches for someone – anyone – else, the museum begins to change. Players will take control of Ib in gameplay that revolves around exploring your surroundings, collecting items, and solving puzzles. There are also multiple different endings to unlock based on your actions and choices in this mysterious gallery.
Cult Classic Horror Ib Remake
The remake of Ib features additions and optimisations while maintaining the original concept of ‘making the game enjoyable even for players who are new to video games’. Moreover, almost all graphics for maps, characters and stills are improved along with the addition of all-new and re-designed pieces of artwork. Also brand new puzzles, effects, and tricks that were not present in the original have been added in the remake.
You can now enjoy conversations with the accompanying characters while trying to escape from the gallery. They may even give you hints if you get stuck. A zoom mode is now available which makes it easier to spot small items and view pieces of artwork in greater detail. It is also possible to stay in zoom mode until the end of the game (some scenes cannot be zoomed or will be forced to zoom).
Ib was released in 2022 on Steam for PC, and then the Nintendo Switch this year. The game will come to PlayStation consoles in 2024. Are you excited for a new take on video game horror? Let us know in the comments below!
