pluralstories"When the rose ???s, so too will you ??? away..."
Blurb: You play a nine-year-old girl named Ib who, upon visiting an art exhibit with her parents, gets sucked into a world spawned from the imagination and creations of the deceased artist being exhibited. Unfortunately, the vast majority of that imagination DOES NOT LIKE YOU.
Why is it worth your time?: It's pretty good, fun and spooky! Both are short, and the original is still free online. The only plural themes are getting sucked into a fictive world created by someone else, inhabited by beings formed from that psyche. The Fabricated World doesn't work on conventional rules of reality, and the game does some fun things with that idea.

Access Notes: A pretty good completionist Let's Play of the remake exists! (Alas, I haven't been able to find a Let's Play of the original that I feel worth recommending.)
Misc Notes: There are multiple versions of this game. Version 1.07 of the original game, translated to English, is still up for free online (back-up link 1 and 2), but being an RPGmaker game, running it on non-Windows machines may require some fiddling. The remake, which only came out a few months ago, is $13 on Steam and streamlines the game, makes some of the puzzles easier, and fancies up the graphics a bit, but the core experiences are about the same.
