Ib: Green Edition is a fan-made modification of the game Ib created by Haunter-360. It was popular among fans due to a new ending, Sacrifice, that was added to the game. The alternative ending is based on a fan-comic called "Neither Violet Nor Orange" by XoAmethyst-ArtistoX.

Story

The story of Ib: Green Edition is the same as the story of the original version of Ib, in which a young girl named Ib visits an art gallery featuring the works of the artist Guertena; however, the modification includes an ending that does not exist in the original Ib. Only two of the seven endings (variations count as one) from the original Ib are possible to obtain.

Features

Ib: Green Edition includes two endings from the original Ib, Memory's Crannies and Together, Forever, as well as a new ending, Sacrifice, which involves Ib sacrificing her life in order for both Mary and Garry to survive. The Sacrifice ending also features a new painting, Goodbye.

Sacrifice (Guide)

Sacrifice is an ending originally featured in Ib: Green Edition and involves Ib sacrificing her life so that both Garry and Mary can escape the cursed gallery. It was also added to Ib: Hardcore Edition.

To have Sacrifice become a possible ending, the player must have Ib follow the same path as Promise of Reunion, except this time you can bypass killing Mary in the Toy Box. Note, however, that this only works with the path of Promise of Reunion, instead of Memory's Crannies. Mary meets you outside with the painting and tries to convince you to go with her instead of Garry. She shows up and yells, "I'M NOT LETTING YOU LEAVE!!" so Mary can leave with Ib. Ib stops Mary who says that they're leaving together, meaning Garry has to stay and she demands Ib to move. When Ib doesn't she becomes sad, begins to cry and asks Ib if she is really choosing Garry over her. Ib will then have the following three choices: Garry, Mary, or both. Choosing Garry will lead to Memory's Crannies, and choosing Mary will lead to Together, Forever.

Sacrifice

Ib's vision going red after she plucks the last petal off of her rose.

Choosing both will lead to Sacrifice. Once Ib chooses both, a cutscene will play. Ib takes out her rose and starts to pluck off the petals, despite Mary and Garry screaming for her to stop. The game then states that Ib feels tired and pushes Garry and Mary through the picture and she quickly begins to succumb to the effects but takes comfort in knowing her friends are safe.

Sacrifice ending

Mary grieves over Ib's sacrifice.

Garry and Mary will be back at the normally gallery, and Mary and Garry are siblings. Garry will say that he has no recollection of what he was doing and will notice that Mary is sad and will ask if she is all right. She will say that she doesn't feel well and ask if they can go home, to which Garry agrees. As they start to leave, Garry will mention that he heard that one of the statues broke just before they arrived. He will say that it's a shame, since she would have loved it. He will add that it was a statue of a red rose. He will then tell her that they can stop at a café on the way home. He will ask Mary if she'd like that, but she will say that she is not hungry. This seems to worry Garry, as he will say, "Not your usual cheerful self at all, are you?" He will then realize the candy in his pocket is gone and ask Mary if she ate it, to which she says yes. Garry will tell her, "You shouldn't steal you know, it isn't really nice. [sic]" Mary will begin to cry intensely and say she's sorry (because Mary, unlike Garry, still remembers Ib sacrificing herself to save them). Mary's crying scares Garry because he thinks that she's crying about the candy, so he will reassure her that it not a big deal, and he will ask her to just cheer up. The player will then be able to control Garry. Mary will follow at a slower pace than his, likely because she is still grieving over Ib's death. Garry can talk to Ib's parents, who are looking upon the couch statue. Upon interaction, Garry and Mary will look at Ib's parents, and the father will ask if there is a problem. Garry will say, "No, I just thought that I've seen you two somewhere before," implying that a part of him remembers Ib. The father will say that it happens often, and Ib's mother will ask if Mary is Garry's sister. Mary will not reply due to her grief, and Ib's mother will say that she doesn't need to be so shy. Garry will tell her not to get the wrong idea because "Mary is usually quite the trouble maker [sic]." Ib's father will reply, "Ha, I bet she is!" Ib's parents will mention that they once thought about having children but never got around to it. Garry will reply, "Eh, I'll bet it's hard work." Mary will then start to cry and beg to leave. Ib's mother, shocked, will ask what's wrong; Garry will state that Mary feels sick. Ib's mother will give Mary her handkerchief to dry her eyes. Garry will say that they should get going, and Ib's parents will state they must go has well; but before they leave, Ib's mother will tell Mary to keep the handkerchief safe in her pocket and not to lose it. They will both continue to head out. Garry will say, "They were nice, weren't they, Mary?" However, Mary continues to appear depressed, which worries Garry. On the way out, Garry can talk to the other visitor, who will say, "Oh wow, your sister is just adorable! She looks like some beautiful girl out of a painting! May I take a picture?" Garry will say, "Lets go sis. [sic] We shouldn't talk to people like him." If Garry talks to the person at the headless statues, she will say that they are creepy but that she would look good in the yellow dress. Before reaching the stairs leading down to the lobby, Garry will notice a painting that they haven't seen before. He will state that it seems familiar and ask Mary what she thinks. Mary will gasp when she sees the painting and begin to cry. She will run up to the painting. It is entitled "Goodbye." The painting depicts Ib tangled in rose thorns. There are tears in her eyes but a small smile on her face, implying that she does not regret her decision. Mary, on her knees, will weakly cry for her. Mary will then call out Ib's name.

The screen will then fade to black before showing "ENDING: Sacrifice."

Goodbye

Goodbye
Dsa
Type of Artwork Painting
Location The Guertena Art Gallery
(Ib: Green Edition, Ib: Hardcore Edition)
True Guertena Exhibit
(Ib: Hardcore Edition)

Goodbye is a painting that only appears in the Guertena Art Gallery in the ending Sacrifice, near the stairs after Garry and Mary escapes from the Fabricated World, in the modifications of the game Ib, namely in Ib: Green Edition and Ib: Hardcore Edition. It depicts Ib tangled in roses and its description reads, "It depicts a girl tangled in roses with a tear and a small smile."

When Garry and Mary observe the painting, as Mary used to be a painting that was part of the Fabricated World, she is the only person who remembers Ib and cries in apology over the latter's sacrifice. Because Garry was not given any object of strong importance as evidence of the events that occurred in the Fabricated World, it is implied that he does not remember Ib.

Trivia

  • While Ib: Green Edition was popular, it was also the target of controversy from some Ib fans due to it being a fan modification of kouri's orginal work. Eventually, kouri was alerted of this modified version of Ib and requested the download link to be taken down, as the fan game was made without permission.
  • Relative to the endings from the original Ib, Sacrifice is the only ending that involves Mary and Garry crying, although their crying portraits do not exist in the official game and are essentially a fan rendition and modification of the official art.
    • If Ib chooses to go with Mary, the player will see Garry cry. If Ib chooses to go with Garry, the player will see Mary cry.
  • In Sacrifice, when Mary and Garry escape from the painting, Mary is the only one who remembers Ib.
    • This is most likely due to the fact that Mary was a painting.
  • In Sacrifice, Ib's mother gives Mary a lace handkerchief, as Ib's mother and father never got around to having a child. However, instead of having the name "Ib" inscribed onto the handkerchief, it has no name on it.
  • Goodbye is similar to the Forgotten Portrait in that instead of being a painting that represents the death of Garry, Goodbye represents the death of Ib.
    • Goodbye is found in the same place where the Forgotten Portrait would be in the Forgotten Portrait ending.
  • Because it is non-canon, Goodbye is not featured in the True Guertena Exhibit.
    • In fact, the exhibit primarily features artworks that Ib has looked at and/or read, so since this painting only appears after Ib's sacrifice, it is impossible for her to see it.
    • However, it is featured in the True Guertena Exhibit in Ib: Hardcore Edition.
