“The similarities between Ib and Mother…honestly, I have no idea.” says kouri, creator of the J-horror game Ib. Inspired by the smash success of Undertale, I set out to speak to the people behind this wonderful new creation on their Mother influences. Recently, a genre affectionately termed “Motherlikes” has been popping up in the fan lexicon on sites such as Tumblr and TV Tropes, referring to offbeat indie games that mixed surreal humor with creepiness. Known as Earthbound in North America, it’s only natural that, as the generations affected by the original SNES titles grew older and began making their own games, the Mother series would be a huge part of the video game developer subconscious. The only thing that can possibly rival the mystique of the quirky Japanese RPG series Mother is the mystique of its fans.
