As we said in our review, the characters are the heart of this game and the decisions we make about their relationship will be the ones that decide how the adventure will end. In this guide we will tell you how to get all the endings of Ib in the ‘remake’ for Switch and PC, what is the doom meter, what makes the protagonist’s relationship with Garry and Mary change, and how each decision affects the outcome of the story.
Before continuing, you should keep one thing in mind. The game has “secret meters” that define and relationships Gary and Mary. The ending we get also depends on their level. We will explain them later.

Guide: How to Get All Endings Ib
Ib’s loneliness
We must escape from the drawing book having accumulated less than three points on Mary’s hate meter. Upon reaching the Manufactured World box, we will be presented with two options that depend on our previous decisions.
If we want the end of Soledad de Ib, in any of the cases we must choose the first option, which implies not entering the box and returning. If Ib is alone at this point, it’s also possible to get this ending by simply going back the way we came.
This ending does not have any special images. Just a black screen with the name of the end.
memories corner
We must escape from the drawing book having accumulated less than three points on Mary’s hate meter and without offering the handkerchief to Garry when we see that he is hurt. It is also possible to get this ending if we offer the scarf to Garry but we have less than nine affinity points with him.
Upon reaching the Manufactured World box, we will be presented with two options. In any case, we must choose the second, which implies entering the painting.
Back in the gallery, we need to talk to the person next to the rose sculpture «Embodiment of the Spirit».
