My Brother Rabbit review
by jimelest

I don't know what it is, but there's something heartwarming and cozy about this game. It's one of those games that you can just sit down in a rainy afternoon with a cat in your lap and play through it without rushing.
It has just the right amount of difficulty, not so hard to make you rage-quit, but not so easy to be boring.

In terms of storytelling, it's a bit simple, but I loved the metaphors and the way they tell the real life story, through this fantastic and imaginary world.

Also, the soundtrack is just simply AMAZING. Kudos to everyone involved making this game!

Imagination will find a way! + Magical Soundtrack by well-known Composer Arkadiusz Reikowski + Wonderful Drawings of the story sequences + Lovingly designed, detailed and imaginative Game world + Heart-reaching Backstory + solid Hidden Object Mechanics + Varied Puzzles +/-Only about 2-4 Hours of Play +/-Through many assistance for puzzle veterans possibly Too easy plot: My Brother Rabbit tells a sad And at the same time deep in beautifully drawn pictures that go completely without Words Touching Story about childlike imagination, Hope, Love and Courage. As a young Family faces their young Daughter's sudden Illness, the Girl's beloved, older Brother Escapes into a childlike fantasy World in which he tries to drag his sister in the Form Of her dearest Cuddly Toy-a Bunny Save and find a Cure for them. On his Journey, he traverses wondrous worlds-is this really just the Fantasy of a young Child or are There Parallels to harsh Reality? And will the Bunny Be able to free his little sister from the Clutches of the Disease in time? Gameplay: My Brother Rabbit is a Point & Click/Wimmelbild/puzzle adventure. Much of the Game's Tasks involve finding and selecting small items hidden in the Game world. The Player can interact in childlike Fashion with any item as small As possible: Birds flying away at the Click of a mouse, squeaky ducks that make a quak sound of themselves when touched-the Game world of My Brother Rabbit shines with a Incredible Attention to Detail. In each of the five Levels, which are divided into several small Areas, several puzzles have to be solved, all of which are very varied and correspond to the Scheme of similar Games of the Genre (Color Mixing puzzles, Sliding Puzzles, etc.). Difficulty: Due to the many Assistance the Game gives, E.g. a Representation of the Area in which certain Objects can be found, the Degree of difficulty for diehard Puzzle fans remains rather on the lower Nivau. The Puzzles are likely to be too tricky for younger Children and may need the Help of an adult. Graphic: The beautiful Drawings, both during the story sequences, as well as the detailed and loving Depiction of the game world bubbling with Fantasy, are one of the greatest Strengths of "My Brother Rabbit." Even the well-animated Characters are exceedingly cute to look at and have Cuddle Factor. Music: Arkadiusz Reikowski (Layers of Fear, Kholat, Husk and > observer _) has outdone itself with the atmospheric Soundtrack to My Brother Rabbit. Especially in the Theme Song "Dreams" the wonderful Singer Emi Evans (NieR: Automata, Dark Souls Trilogy) succeeds in singing directly into the Heart of the Listeners with soft and melancholy sounds. Dreams is one of the few Music Tracks in a Video game that will gain a permanent Place in my Music Library. Personal Conclusion: That was nice! My Brother Rabbit is a short Game: After an average Of 3 Hours of play, the End Credits, accompanied by Emi Evans's delicate Vocals, roll across the Screen. But even small Things can leave a big Impression and My Brother Rabbit is worth the Purchase Price just because of its artistic Representation, Music support and emotional History. Because even if you can do little with the Genre in General, it's hard to escape the Magic of My Brother Rabbit. A little Work of art with Heart and Soul!
