After seeing so many emails of people saying they wanted the game on Steam, I started to think that might be the way to go. Requests were coming by email, particularly from overseas. There was also a considerable amount of demand for a remake, so I thought if I’m going to do it, I want to do it right. It was sad that people who wanted to play the game weren’t able to. The original free version of Ib was made in RPG Maker 2000, a tool that’s over 20 years old now, so there are cases of it not working on modern hardware. The biggest reason is a few years ago people started contacting me saying they couldn’t play the game. – After 10 years, what made you decide to remake Ib? The questions were provided by Shunji Mizutani, the Executive Producer at PLAYISM. In honor of the remake of Ib being released, we have conducted an interview with the game’s developer kouri. The proof can be seen in kouri’s tweet from October of last year announcing the remake of the title, which as of April 7 had gathered 190,000 likes. On the other hand, Ib is still loved by players around the world even after 10 years. But much of it is forgotten almost as quickly as it rises. On social media, content seems to go viral in an instant almost every day. The game is full of unique puzzles and its characters captured the hearts of many players, spreading through sites like pixiv and Twitter, as well as through Let’s Plays. The game takes place in the unlikely setting of an art gallery adorned with mysterious and fascinating artwork, but with no one in the gallery to view it. The original Ib came out in 2012 as a free horror game in Japan. * Disclosure: The publisher PLAYISM is part of Active Gaming Media, which is also the owner of this website. The game currently only supports Japanese, but English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese support are planned to be added at a later date. Indie game publisher PLAYISM has released a remake of Ib on Steam. Publication date of the original Japanese article: 17:00 (JST)
