Obstacles come in the forms of blocked paths, which the player must somehow overcome and cross, and enemies and traps which deplete the player characters health. Petals can be lost by direct contact with an enemy, exposure to environmental hazards, or dialogue-triggered damage. Shes quiet and barely speaks, only saying a few sentences depending on the players choices. On the way she encounters Garry and Mary, who becomes very protective of her, despite her quiet demeanor. Hes described as kind, flamboyant and older than Ib (presumably in his early 20s).Īs the game progresses, Garry can go to extreme measures to protect Ib, even to the point of risking his life Garry is the only one who possesses a blue rose in the game. She longs to escape Guertenas world and finds that it isnt possible unless she takes the place of a human in the real world.

Mary chose Garry to be the sacrifice and wants to escape together with Ib. Shes very odd and childish and carries around a fake yellow rose. Mary also dislikes adults and therefore becomes very attached to Ib while being dismissive of Garry. Mary has chosen Garry to be the sacrifice and wants to escape together with Ib.

Its clear that this is an attempt to keep Ib trapped in the realm and the mother is fake. If Ib accepts to go with the fake mother, Garry will desperately call out to her, but Ib will appear to be in a trance as she slowly walks off. While about to jump into the portrait that will allow them to return to the real world, Garry appears and will try to keep her in the realm. Much like the other variation, this Garry is fake and is an attempt to have Ib stay. Ib will decide to follow Garry, and they walk away together, deeper into the realm.
