You play as a young girl named Ib, and one day, Ib and her parents visit a museum that is holding a Guertena Exhibit for an artist of the same name. Ib walks around looking at the various paintings but comes to realize that she is all alone. Not just her parents, but everyone in the gallery is gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As she searches the museum for other people, things start to get strange. Along the way, she meets a man with a peculiar way of speaking named Garry, and a blond-haired girl with a cheery personality named Mary. This strange museum is where the story unfolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strange museum that Ib has found herself lost in is filled with all sorts of obstacles, and players will discover items and solve puzzles as they explore and advance the story. There are also multiple endings that change depending on the route Ib and company take.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-004.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-004.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-004-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-004-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-004-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-004-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-004-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-004-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-004-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220227-193482-004-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The developer kouri is overhauling the graphics for the remake, redesigning existing artwork displayed at the museum, and also adding new ones.
