The Night of the Rabbit really shines, carefully weaving an excellent score, solid voice work, great characters, and terrific art direction together to create something special. By tapping the different understandings of life that come with age and wisdom, this adventure tells a charming tale of curiosity and creativity.

Last year, I had the pleasure of playing some of Daedalic Entertainment's point and click adventures like A New Beginning and Harvey's New Eyes. This year, Daedalic Entertainment has released a point and click adventure game that puts the other two to...

Night of the Rabbit faithfully follows the tried and true traditions of the adventure game genre while leveraging modern technologies in a very well produced game. Appropriate for the entire family and providing a compelling, well-written story, this one...

Night of the Rabbit is a great adventure game with a few frustrating puzzle elements. Other than that the game's presentation is fantastic and it's one of the better adventure games out there on the market.

The Night of the Rabbit is a typically well-produced addition to their resumé. Other adventure games may be less unwieldy but few are endowed with this much atmosphere. While its poor pacing frequently tried our patience, The Night of the Rabbit is an enchanting trip down the rabbit hole we're glad we took.

A child’s story book brought to life, Night of the Rabbit is an elegantly presented pilgrimage into Mousewood and what it means to be a magician’s apprentice. At times dark and at times wonderfully sweet, it is prone towards being sometimes vexing but that shouldn’t stop you from following the Marquis de Hotto down his rabbit hole.

The Night of the Rabbit tiene algo especial. En sí, como aventura está muy por encima de la media, pero quizás su mayor virtud, más allá de su sólido planteamiento y del precioso plantel audiovisual, es la de evocar la más pura esencia de la infancia, algo que es de lo más impagable.

If Daedalic can escape its own ghetto of sub-par voice work - seemingly the final hurdle in its race to fill the Lucasarts-shaped void in the point-and-click genre - then its next trip down the rabbit hole may be unmissable, rather than simply recommended.

While we shouldn’t ignore its problems with the flow of the story and illogical puzzles, this shouldn’t stop anyone who is a follower of the genre from jumping into this world of magic and talking animals to enjoy one kid’s dream of a delightful summer adventure.

It’s Night of the Rabbit, and if you’re into old-school adventures (and we’re talking Monkey Island or Beneath A Steel Sky level of quality here) and want to walk around a charming world with a smile permanently on your face I wholeheartedly recommend it. Roll on the heavily-hinted-at sequel Daedalic, I want to see more of Mousewood.
