The Night of the Rabbit Demo

For a very long time, LucasArts dictated the rules for the adventure genre. Thanks to their many illustrious creations, the studio was revered by players all over the world, which allowed them to grow and expand beyond their wildest dreams. Nowadays, that role is filled by Telltale, but there have been many that almost achieved the same status as LucasArts over the years.

The Night of the Rabbit is a unique game, in the sense that it takes place in a very different world and all the characters seem to fit so well in there, which is exactly what you need to encourage immersion. All the other elements work together to create a nice atmosphere and provide the players with an unforgettable experience, even if there are some minor flaws here and there.

To begin with, the story follows a boy by the name of Jerry, who makes his way into a strange land by the name of Mousewood. Here, reality doesn't always make sense, and you can even have conversations with various animals in order to find out more about this magical land. Over the course of the plot, your character goes through a variety of incredible experiences, each one of which steers you toward the conclusion.

Adventure games also rely on puzzles an awful lot, because they fill the spaces between cutscenes and dialog sequences. However, the ones in The Night of the Rabbit are quite clever and thought provoking, even if most of them follow the usual point-and-click formula. Hence, you mainly have to collect items and use them together, but there are many interesting variations on the theme as well.

Lastly, the graphics are sublime and every location has been hand-drawn by talented artists, which really makes you feel like in a different world. The characters move smoothly and most of the objects are incredibly detailed. The soundtrack is one of the best out there as well, with plenty of incredible tracks to accompany the beautiful story with every new location.

Even if The Night of the Rabbit may have a few plot flaws and it somehow manages to lose sight of what’s important every now and again, the overall game is definitely something you want to have in your library. Hence, if you enjoy old-school-like point-and-clicks, The Night of the Rabbit is a no brainer choice.
