I took a free time in my job to check if the Famitsu post was posted on VG Chartz. And I got the best news of this day: Ib on top 10, with 9k.

For those who don't know Ib is a quite old game made on RPG Maker. It was remade for Steam and now Switch. Back in 2012-2013, a lot of my favorite Youtube channels were playing it. I loved to watch them, after playing it myself. This game had a lot of impact on me.

I wasn't expecting it to chart this high, since it is a very old game that used to be free to play. Very good news!

Playing it right now on my Deck. It's REALLY good. 

A classic amongst the popular boom of RPG Maker horror games of the early 2010's era on YouTube.

I imagine stuff like Yume Nikki, Mad Father or The Witch's house would've had just as much if not more success than this release.

Anywoo, like I said last week, PS5 is finally getting it's demand met in some cases so the number prolly slowly decrease until it has met a consistent baseline, appart from big releases week. Great numbers nonetheless.

Switch is surprisingly putting out it's third best year, even beating 2020/19's in the process. Wonder how the baseline will settle to during the slower period.
