The Night of the Rabbit

A gorgeous, fairytale-like point-and-click adventure that completely nails its whimsical atmosphere and cozy soundtrack. Unfortunately, some frustratingly obscure puzzle logic can halt your momentum, turning a magical journey into a pixel-hunting chore. Beautiful to look at, but best played with a guide handy.

The Night of the Rabbit is a cute little summer adventure by Daedalic Entertainment. I always wonder if they smoke something before coming up with a game, because their games cannot be more different (Deponia, Edna, Satinav). The art style is cute and the puzzles are good. Overall, I really liked the game and the story it told, but the quartet achievement can eat a bag of d****.

TLDR: This is a Daedalic Point and Click Adventure. So unless you like banging your head against the desk wishing the developers had mentioned what substances may have been about during the development of this game while the moon was full, use a walkthrough. Unless you like banging your head against a desk, then have at it. That being said, this is a well done PAC game. The story is good and funny in places. The graphics are cartoony and well done, almost like a picture book, even 13 years later. The voice acting is also well done. The music can be sparse but what is there does add too the feeling of the game. It can get a little loud during the story bits so subtitles might be helpful. This is also a Daedalic game so while on the surface it seems like it is mostly a light hearted adventure, it probably won’t take older players long to figure out that Mr. Churchmouse retired long before the events of the game. While I won’t say it’s not for kids, I will say it does have a few “Oh” moments if your paying attention though, they are not done with a sledge hammer. Definitely worth a play if you like these games or if you want to experience the story with a walkthrough. Story: …
