The Night of the Rabbit is an adventure game developed by Daedalic, a company specializing in this genre. The title was designed by Matthias Kempke, who is mainly known as the creator of the excellent What Makes You Tick?

The game tells the story of a twelve-year-old boy named Jerry Hazelnut, who dreams of getting to know the arcans of magic. At the end of the summer holidays he meets Marquis de Hoto, a wizard who agrees to accept Jerry as a disciple. The Marquis, however, is not an ordinary magician. De Hoto is a hominoid white rabbit of the same size as an adult man. Moreover, he lives in the land of Mousewood, where magic is both common and deadly dangerous. It soon turns out that Jerry is not an ordinary boy and was not chosen by chance. Instead, the boy is to play a key role in the clash with the forces of evil commanded by the Great Zaroff, who want to tear the tapestry of reality to pieces. Before Jerry becomes the saviour the world needs, he will first have to face his greatest fear and learn the secrets of magic. In order to do so, he will have to find the transition to other dimensions, and their inhabitants will teach him new spells.

The Night of the Rabbit is a classic point-n-click adventure. We spend most of our time exploring the location, collecting objects, conducting conversations and solving riddles. The gameplay is enriched by the magic system. As Jerry's story unfolds, he regularly gets to know new spells that help him achieve his goals. For example, there is a spell available to talk to the statues and ask them about what they have recently witnessed.

Like several recent Daedalic games, The Night of the Rabbit features beautiful hand-painted, high-resolution 2D graphics and players have the impression of watching a highly budget animated film while having fun.
