    • On the topic of this game, i've played (and liked) Undertale, Deltarune, OMORI and OneShot. Do you recommend this game? What are key differences and similarities between IB and those games? Thanks in advance for comments

    Gameplay. Outright. Ib focuses mainly on puzzles and tiny little moments that [maybe less with the remakes] are missable or possible to misconstrue leading to a lot of endings.
    I'd say Omori on the whole takes a lot of an easier approach to its endings- you kinda feel what you're up to with your choices, deliberately. Classic Ib isn't afraid to just leave you to it.
