Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 12 weeks ago. The math puts its BANGER price at $6.93. No recorded sale has reached it yet.
Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. Among the games that feel like it, Outcore: Desktop Adventure (free, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion ($14.99, scores 67).

I've played Ib countless times by now, both in the free version and now in the remaster. Though I will admit the original holds a special place in my heart, the remaster is still quite good. I don't think it entirely managed to capture the creepy atmosphere of the original, but it's a very good game on its own. I wish the Sacrifice ending were included (maybe I just didn't find it yet?) as that was the only one I...
changed my l;ife became a part of who i am as a person i wish i were here genuinely. gewnuionely
Ib is a classic psychological horror from the RPG Maker era! A heavy emphasis on story with some... Mild jumpscare-y moments, the many branching paths and endings can pull on your heart strings all the way through!
