Would love to see an anime adaption 🤩😊 ### 5/5 — Loving the story *2019-07-26, version 1.0.3* I didn’t realize it’s a free game until now. But where do you find the in app purchase of Sakaki story? I don’t see the in-app store. Ok so, I love the story so much but I wish we get to enjoy it more longer, I guess it’s kind of short visual, Novel but other than that, I’d give this a 10/10 ### 5/5 — Loved this game *2019-07-13, version 1.0.3* I really enjoyed this visual novel. It’s beautifully written and I really enjoyed the art style. I couldn’t believe it was free! Thank you! I look forward to playing Mysterious Forums & 7 Rumours too! ### 5/5 — Happy to have given it a chance *2019-05-12, version 1.0.3* I find myself preferring smaller companies or even individuals making games. They usually seem to put more thought in and the end product shows it. Thank you for making this game. I loved the characters and the artwork. Perhaps have more places you can end the game or different paths to the finale but still 5 stars. Good visual novel. Keep at it. ### 5/5 — I love this game 😍 *2019-04-17, version 1.0.3* Thank you very much for developing this game. It helps me expand my world view. In addition, I love it’s graphic and game play so much. In short, I.B. is worth playing! ### 5/5 — amazing but Mysterious Forum was better *2019-04-14, version 1.0.3* i definitely preferred Mysterious Forum a whole lot more, but this was still a great adventure. i’m just a sucker for horror. i love these games, they’re my new favorite. keep it up. looking forward for the next one!! ### 5/5 — Great visual novel *2019-03-21, version 1.0.3* Will it took me a while to finish it but really it deserves every moment i spent playing it. I liked the story, liked the characters, the concept even the way your implemented adds not annoying and not in your face. I played also mysterious forum and it was great although I didn't reviewed yet. Waiting for your next visual novel with excitement and wishing you all the best. ### 5/5 — Must download *2019-03-21* This is a beyond beautiful game that that’s really worth checking out and I hope the developers make more games just as fantastic as this one. ### 5/5 — Beautiful plot *2019-03-18, version 1.0.3* I love the graphics and the characters along with it. With very interesting plot with amazingly good morals and you don’t really see that often (not going to spoil it). I was hoping to have more of a game play to this though. It felt as if my choices didn’t matter and it was a more story based rather then game. I still lOoove this though from everything else. ### 5/5 — I’m in love with the storyline! *2019-03-10, version 1.0.3* I love how it’s psychological and I notice myself being attach to the characters more than I had with certain other characters from certain app visual novels. I’m actually a story writer myself and oh boy, this was amazing! The characters are well done, they make me curious to know about them a lot more through out the course of events that they go through. This game has a powerful message within, and there can be a few things you can learn from this game and make you question how the world can really be. Amazing job! You made a story writer’s day!❤️👍😁 ### 5/5 — Awesome and free *2019-03-05, version 1.0.3* I am a huge visual novel fan, searching weekly for new games on iOS. This was a really beautiful, cute, pretty well translated game! The best part is that it’s free. You only have to watch ads if you hit a bad end to replay from last choice. Please make more visual novels!!! Everyone, support this dev because I’m loving what I’m seeing so far. ### 5/5 — Best game!! *2019-02-21, version 1.0.3* Cảm ơn nhà phát triển rất nhiều!! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Loved it 10/10 *2019-02-03, version 1.0.3* This was a really nice visual novel, I enjoyed it quite a bit! All the characters were great, though I kinda wish they would’ve ended up together..Ah well, it was still a great visual novel. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Hey it’s me again *2019-01-22, version 1.0.3* Really good! Please make more you are my favourite game people and i want to play more of your amazing games i have all of them too :3 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Couldn’t get my interest *2024-08-10, version 1.0.3* The writing is okay, but the music is very amateurish which was super distracting while I was reading. I read through the first chapter but there was nothing that grabbed my attention. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Ok *2019-05-12, version 1.0.3* I like the story but I was turned off when I realized that it was less of “your choice affects the story” and more of “your choice can determines whether the story progresses.” I would have liked to see consequences of how the “wrong” choice plays out than just get a screen informing me that I essentially failed. ### 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. ### 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! ### 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 ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-01-01, version 1.0.3* It’s perfect ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2020-10-04, version 1.0.3* You did a great job! I don’t know why I.B. isn’t at novel’s top, but I want to thank you for your game. With love, from Russia ### 5/5 — Omg *2020-09-22, version 1.0.3* How do i even start? This game is soo good. I was literally crying at the end of it because of how good the writing and plot were. The art style of cute and definitely fits the plot of the novel and it’s just really amazing to have a game like this. Good job! I freaking love it and definitely recommend it! ### 5/5 — Top Notch! *2020-02-18, version 1.0.3* I really loved this app! This is my first time writing a review, but I felt I needed to do it because I truly enjoyed everything I.B. had to offer. This was my first experience with a visual novel. I decided to go with I.B. because the art stood out to me - it is beautiful! The character and background designs are very creative and I love the style! I thought the storyline was amazing from start to finish. I found it very engaging and thought-provoking. I ended up getting attached to all the characters, and their backstories and interactions all felt natural. I also must mention the sound effects - they were well thought-out and really helped to set the mood of the story. The setting is well-designed. Incorporating the features of a smartphone into the story was clever and realistic; it made for a perfect immersion into the world of I.B. I really appreciate that it’s free!! There is an extra story that you have an option to pay for, but at that point you will already have seen the actual ending. There are ads but I thought they were well placed and not annoying at all. I felt that the app focuses on the player’s enjoyment of the game rather than getting money, which is a huge plus for me. Personally, I loved that the chapters tell you by percentage how much you have completed. If you want to reread or choose a different option in the story, you can redo just that section by watching a short ad. So, I was satisfied knowing that I had seen all there was to see, and not feel like I had to guess on what I’d missed out on, or go back and redo the whole game just to see one little part. Any issues I had were very small. There are some typos/grammatical errors but that didn’t take away from my experience. Also, I thought some parts of the story were slightly unrealistic, but again, not a problem at all for my overall enjoyment. All in all, my experience playing I.B. was amazing, and the story and characters will always remain in my heart ♥️ ### 5/5 — Очень круто! *2020-01-14, version 1.0.3* Желаю разработчикам всего хорошего!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
