What Makes Visual Novel: I.B. Stand Out

●What is a Visual Novel for smartphone users?●
・It’s made, especially for smartphone users.
・It’s easy to read since the design is specialized for smartphones.
・You feel overwhelmingly immersed in the story with the smartphone-style production.
・You can come back to exactly where you were with an auto save system.
●Story●
“Kazuto Sorai” is a genius hacker boy, who by the trigger of one incident develops a communication support AI, and applies for an App Development Contest. That app gained massive attention from the company which hosted the contest, and one day a lady who works at the company visited him…
It’s a SF youth story with a visual novel game style, where the untalkative main character and a little-off lady grow through various incidents. It’s a story where you can both laugh and cry! What is the mysterious project for “PEACE”…? What is the form of their ideal future…?
Do not miss out on the ending of the “future” which is selected by two humans and one AI!!
●Characters●
■Kazuto Sorai “What you’re doing is a crime, you know?”
11th grade of high school boy. He became super untalkative by the trigger of one incident. He aims at winning the App Development Contest.
■Rin Kikuchi “Oh? Kazuto Kun, don't ignore that one~”
She is a member of the recruitment acting committee for the App Development Contest. She is so self-assertive and really doesn’t listen to what others say. But she is a good person at heart.
■I.B. “I.B. wants to look more toned~”
A communication AI, which Kazuto created. Smart, cute and a bit off..

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
ITS REALLY AMAZING!! YOU START TO GET ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS!! GAHHH we LOVE IT SO MUCH.
It was different from what we expected but that is not a bad thing at all. The art is lovely and the characters are lovable, relatable even. We 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. We understand the point of the game is to convey a specific story and theme, so we are 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 games concept but we cannot honestly complain since everything was executed well. We are 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. We would love to get to know more about the main three characters because we find them very endearing. The mc, forgot his name (dw, hes not forgettable or boring; we simply have a bad memory), although he is a separate person from the player- meaning this game isnt a self insert-, we could definitely connect with. The same goes for we.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. We dare not spoil that, though this game has made us really want to converse about the topics it brings forth. Furthermore, we are grateful for the staffs hard work and for them providing the entire main game free- we 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 our time. <3.
Came here after playing Mysterious Forum and 7 Rumors. Ive gotta say, despite the dialogue being awkward sometimes (translation is hard), we really enjoy this style of novel as well as the storyline and endings! We hope the company ports some of the other visual novels over to iOS, because Id love to play them.
How do we even start? This game is soo good. We were 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 its just really amazing to have a game like this. Good job! We freaking love it and definitely recommend it.
We really loved this app! This is our first time writing a review, but we felt we needed to do it because we truly enjoyed everything we.B. Had to offer. This was our first experience with a visual novel. We decided to go with we.B. Because the art stood out to us – it is beautiful! The character and background designs are very creative and we love the style! We thought the storyline was amazing from start to finish. We found it very engaging and thought-provoking. We ended up getting attached to all the characters, and their backstories and interactions all felt natural. We 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 we.B. We really appreciate that its 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 we thought they were well placed and not annoying at all. We felt that the app focuses on the players enjoyment of the game rather than getting money, which is a huge plus for us. Personally, we 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, we were satisfied knowing that we had seen all there was to see, and not feel like we had to guess on what Id missed out on, or go back and redo the whole game just to see one little part. Any issues we had were very small. There are some typos/grammatical errors but that didnt take away from our experience. Also, we thought some parts of the story were slightly unrealistic, but again, not a problem at all for our overall enjoyment. All in all, our experience playing we.B. Was amazing, and the story and characters will always remain in our heart.
We find ourselves 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. We 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.
We definitely preferred Mysterious Forum a whole lot more, but this was still a great adventure. Im just a sucker for horror. We love these games, theyre our new favorite. Keep it up. Looking forward for the next one.
Will it took us a while to finish it but really it deserves every moment we spent playing it. We liked the story, liked the characters, the concept even the way your implemented adds not annoying and not in your face. We played also mysterious forum and it was great although we didn't reviewed yet. Waiting for your next visual novel with excitement and wishing you all the best.
We love how its psychological and we notice ourselves being attach to the characters more than we had with certain other characters from certain app visual novels. Im actually a story writer ourselves and oh boy, this was amazing! The characters are well done, they make us 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 writers day.
We are 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 its 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 Im loving what Im seeing so far.
This was a really nice visual novel, we enjoyed it quite a bit! All the characters were great, though we kinda wish they wouldve ended up together..Ah well, it was still a great visual novel. Highly recommend.
What a nice story :o) our only issue is that there are some grammatical & translation issues, but if you ignore them theres a real good time here.
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 we were 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.
Im enjoying what we can read but the borders around text keep disappearing making it blend into the background and impossible to read. Im on the latest iOS version, we want to experience this story the same way we enjoyed 7 Rumors but this problem is making it hard. If you can fix this our rating will go higher.
We like the story but we were turned off when we realized that it was less of your choice affects the story and more of your choice can determines whether the story progresses. We would have liked to see consequences of how the wrong choice plays out than just get a screen informing us that we essentially failed.
The writing is okay, but the music is very amateurish which was super distracting while we were reading. We read through the first chapter but there was nothing that grabbed our attention.
