6 itemsAbout the Game
Ibru is a first-person perspective detective RPG set in a Sumerpunk world, where ancient Sumerian myths blend with cyberpunk dystopias. You are a newly baked detective, created by the gods from life-giving clay to be a pawn in an endless game beyond human understanding. But with luck and determination, even the smallest piece can tip the scales.ย
Explore a futuristic, yet ancient city, rife with violence and oppression. Use the divine spark within to solve cases across districts from filthy slums to opulent palaces. Decide who you are and where your loyalties lie - to the gods, to the city, or to yourself - and deal with the consequences.ย
Are you doomed to be a pawn? Or can you wrest your destiny from the hands of the gods?
Features
Roleplay in a Crumbling World: Begin as a newly formed detective in a city shaped by divine conflict. You are meant to be a pawn. Follow your purpose - or defy it to carve your own path.
Deep Investigations: Tackle cases across the city and uncover hidden truths through a non-linear investigation system. Solve, mishandle, ignore, or fail them entirely; each outcome carries its own consequences.
Solve the Unsolvable: Use your divine spark to investigate what others cannot. Speak with the world around you, question the dead, and walk through dreams. Cold cases are only the beginning.
Reactive World: The city is always watching. It reacts to your choices, reshapes itself around your actions, and reveals different truths each time you play.
InteGra: Every choice matters. Your behavior is tracked and interpreted in real time, shaping your character and changing how the story unfolds.
