I read through the first chapter but there was nothing that grabbed my attention. ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME *2024-06-19, version 1.0.3* ITS REALLY AMAZING!! YOU START TO GET ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS!! GAHHH I LOVE IT SO MUCH ### 3/5 — The borders around text keep disappearing *2023-05-29, version 1.0.3* I’m enjoying what I can read but the borders around text keep disappearing making it blend into the background and impossible to read. I’m on the latest iOS version, I want to experience this story the same way I enjoyed 7 Rumors but this problem is making it hard. If you can fix this my rating will go higher. ### 5/5 — 4.5 ☆ *2022-02-26, version 1.0.3* It was different from what I expected but that is not a bad thing at all. The art is lovely and the characters are lovable, relatable even. I definitely wish there was more (in a good way!). The story feels complete too with adequate backgrounds. Sometimes the plotline is muddy and translation confusing. Fortunately, it did not take away from the experience very much and the core meaning of the game was well communicated. Many “bad” endings are short and fun, though the choices ironically either further the storyline or automatically lead to a bad ending, so it does not feel like choosing means much or that there is more to the world other than the plot. I understand the point of the game is to convey a specific story and theme, so I am okay with choice system not being complex and the plot structure being simple~ This lack of choice is somewhat remedied by the meaning of the “true” storyline that you can attain by choosing all the “right” choices. Again.. this play system and lack of branching options is ironic due to the game’s concept but I cannot honestly complain since everything was executed well. I am being wishful for something made by a small team from their hearts. Because this seems like a passion project, it feels all the more magical. I would love to get to know more about the main three characters because I find them very endearing. The mc, forgot his name (dw, he’s not forgettable or boring; I simply have a bad memory), although he is a separate person from the player- meaning this game isn’t a self insert-, I could definitely connect with. The same goes for I.B., in its quest of understanding. The vignettes for each chapter are brief, yet also meaningful and the overall meaning of the game feels universally applicable. I dare not spoil that, though this game has made me really want to converse about the topics it brings forth. Furthermore, I am grateful for the staff’s hard work and for them providing the entire main game free- I finished everything in one day, short and sweet. Thank you so much for creating a game that was both enjoyable and thought provoking. It was well worth my time. <3 ### 5/5 — Nice work! *2021-11-12, version 1.0.3* Came here after playing Mysterious Forum and 7 Rumors. I’ve gotta say, despite the dialogue being awkward sometimes (translation is hard), I really enjoy this style of novel as well as the storyline and endings! I hope the company ports some of the other visual novels over to iOS, because I’d love to play them! ### 5/5 — Very good *2021-09-19, version 1.0.3* Kazuto. ### 5/5 — Thank you for developing this game *2021-06-10, version 1.0.3* Thank you. ### 4/5 — great!! *2021-05-22, version 1.0.3* what a nice story :o) my only issue is that there are some grammatical & translation issues, but if you ignore them there’s a real good time here. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-01-01, version 1.0.3* It’s perfect ### 4/5 — A wonderful mobile VN! *2020-10-19, version 1.0.3* As far as mobile visual novels go, this one is wonderful! Though the translation is not always very clear, you can get the gist of what is being said and I was still able to have a wonderful time of going through the story and endings. The visuals were wonderful as well, though minimal. All in all, a very good VN besides translation errors! ## Frequently asked questions about Visual Novel ### What kind of game is Visual Novel: I.B.?
