An interesting tale

First off, I would like to get my biased opinion out of the way.

This is an awesome game with awesome characters and I love it so much, despite it being a horror and I don't like horror.

Now for a more professional opinion.

The plot line is rather interesting, though it's never explained why everything in the gallery is happening. The characters are actually well thought out, however you don't get to hear more bout Garry (Though that may just be because of the Let's Play this troper watched). I actually think it was a nice touch that Ib doesn't know a few words in the paintings, as this adds to the fact that she is a child with that sort of mentality.

There are quite a few jump scares here and there, though evenly spaced out, to add to the effect, which one would expect from a jump scare.

The only downside I think is that Ib can die too easily. I understand that she's a child, but wouldn't it be more fair to give her more life. And, in the bad endings, even with more petals on his rose, Garry dies so easily. Though once again, this comes from the Let's Play I watched, where the Let's Player only played it once and thus only got one ending, which I'm assuming, turned out to be a bad ending.

All in all, it is a well thought out game, with good graphics and fleshed out characters.
