Ib is a game made by kouri (and translated into English by vgperson) in RPG Maker 2000 that should take you about 2-3 hours on your first playthrough, assuming you don't get any game overs, freak out, or get lost entirely. There are a total of 4 endings, all of which are determined by the choices you make in the game and how your relationship is with two other characters. BTW, don't be intimidated by the whole "art museum" thing; the game doesn't focus on your knowledge of art and everything in the exhibit is by a fictional artist named Guertena. In the game, Guertena is a talented artist whose painting and sculptures span different periods of styles, so there's got to be at least one thing by him that'll appeal to you.I was playing this (in broad daylight) while my sister was watching, so she gave me a lot of clues about how to get through one part and where to go next.
That said, I'm recommending this game to everyone and that's why I'm sharing :3 I've only seen 3 of 4 endings so far but I had the feeling that the story didn't quite tie up all the loose ends; despite that, I got really attached to one of the characters and terrified of the other, and it was quite the experience :'D I wouldn't say it's quite on the level of Yume Nikki, but I still think you all should give it a try if you can. I'd rate the game 7.5 out of 10.
Pro-tips: Have a pencil and paper around while you're playing so you can write down clues to the puzzles. Also, it should be fairly obvious when you have to run from something. Blue vases never run out of water, and gray vases are one-use only. And beware the Ladies.
