The Night of the Rabbit brings your inner child by taking you through a journey full of magic and imagination on your last day of summer vacation. You'll play as Jerry, a young wizard apprentice that is undergoing trials to become a full-fledged wizard. A lot of obstacles will stand in your way and you must do your best to solve them.

Pros:
- Great music that accompanies the story
- Minigame to kill your boredom
- Audiobooks to give you more information on the world

Cons:
- Some solutions don't make sense
- In-game hints are useless

Yes.
If you like to play a game with a fantasy story, buy this game. Don't buy it because of the point-and-click element though because you'll probably end up playing with a guide due to its difficulty. If you find that the game is too expensive, it's usually very cheap at a sale. In fact, it's only $2 at this point in writing (3 Jan 2021).

The game uses a cartoonish style for its characters that blend well with the beautiful-looking backgrounds. All characters' expressions and movements are animated, making it easier to connect to the story. Some effects such as snow and lighting are also used to make the scenery more meaningful.

I was quite amazed by the cutscenes at the end of the story, where the game uses a painting-like image to convey the story. It looks beautiful and breathtaking at the same time; I couldn't stop myself from looking at them.

The story follows the adventure of Jerry, a boy whose summer holiday draws near. The beginning of the story somehow reminds me of Harry Potter, telling a tale about a boy who is newly introduced to magic and learn the new world around him. It starts slowly at the beginning, sometimes without any point at all, making you wonder what the story was supposed to be about.

Dialogues never fail me with the depth in writing. I enjoyed the conversations between characters and the voice dub is done very well; the voices sound clear and expressive. The background song that accompanies the dialogue also helps to set the mood for the story. I didn't even have any thoughts to read the dialogues in advance and advancing the story before the character finishes talking because of it.

The game will start to progress at some point, giving you a sense of purpose. It wasn't until at the end of the story that everything was explained, explaining all of the plot holes and revealing a lot of surprises. The mysterious ending also leaves room for a sequel should the developer decides to explore the title further in the future.

Gameplay
The game uses the same mechanic as any other point-and-click game: you pick up an object and use or combine it with other objects to solve a problem. There is also a tutorial that explains the control at the beginning of the game if you need it. You'll be going blind at first, hovering your mouse over any hidden object that you can find, hoping that they will be useful for your journey. The game will give you a feature to show all interactable objects at some point, which is indispensable for the rest of the game.

Despite it being a point-and-click game, most solutions aren't apparent. It took me a while to figure out most solutions, even after consulting the hint system that turns out to be useless since it gave you nothing but a general explanation of what you're supposed to do. Some solutions also make little sense and force you to either consult a guide or use everything in your inventory to solve them.

Minigame
There is a card minigame that you can play at some point. Although it's fun and easy to learn, there is no point in playing the game except to get a certain collectible and taking a break from the actual game.

Length
I finished the game at 12.2h after completing all of the achievements and collectibles. Some collectibles are hidden well throughout the game that can give you an achievement and something nice to look at. One collectible, the audiobook, tells a lot about what's happening in Mousewood, one of the locations in the game, and its residents. I didn't have the chance to listen to everything though because they are very long and only serve as an extra to the story.

Despite it being a point-and-click game, I found the point-and-click element to be its greatest flaw. Solutions aren't that apparent and tend to make little sense to me. However, the story makes the game worthwhile, especially since it's accompanied by lovely music and beautiful-looking backgrounds. The ending also leaves me wanting more with the game and I'll be waiting for the sequel whenever it's available.
