If you’ve been active in the video gaming/Youtube community for a while, you should know all about this game. Ib was the first RPGMaker pixel game to hit the big time back in 2012 when gamer-turned-Youtube-star Pewdiepie released a play-through for it on his Youtube channel.

For those of you who don’t know about Ib, here’s the deal: It’s a psychological horror adventure video game created by an artist by known only by the name Kouri. The game follows a young girl who, while visiting an art museum with her parents, becomes trapped in a painted mirror world. The game includes complex puzzles, frightening monsters, and nicely designed pixel art. In short, it’s great.

If you’d like to experience this game, you can sit back and watch a play-through of it, play it yourself, or just keep reading this week’s Video Game Fashion for three looks inspired by the characters from Ib:

Ib

Ib is our nine-year-old, titular character. The game begins when she gets stuck inside a painted mirror world after a power outage. Ib is shy, young, but also very adventurous, and it’s her adventurous side that lands her in the mirror world.

As she’s a student, Ib’s attire consists of your typical schoolgirl uniform with a button-up shirt, a tie, and a skirt. For a more updated version of this look, throw on a sleeveless white blouse and pair it with a high-low plaid skirt. Every school girl has a pair of Mary Jane flats, so don’t forget a double-strapped pair of those along with some traditional black knee-high socks. Add a pair of rose earrings as a stand in for one of the game’s central motifs and you’ll have a look that will have you turning heads as you strut down the hall.
