My Brother Rabbit

My Brother Rabbit is a hand-drawn point-and-click adventure built around a soft emotional centre. A loving family discovers that their young daughter has fallen ill, and while her parents handle the harsh practicalities of getting her the treatment she needs, her older brother turns to imagination to help both of them cope. The result is a surreal fantasy filtered through a child's mental architecture — robo-moose, floating baobabs, giant mushrooms, clocks melting to the rhythm of passing time — and a story told in parallel to the real-world events the family is living through.

In the imagined world, a cute little rabbit wants to heal his ill friend, a flower, and your role is to help him traverse five distinct lands of make-believe to find a way. The puzzles draw on the conventions of classic point-and-click adventures — inventory combinations, environmental observation, hidden objects, small machinery to assemble — but the logic deliberately doesn't always conform to standard reality, because the world it's set in doesn't either. Several mini-games punctuate the longer puzzle sequences.

The presentation carries a lot of the emotional weight. The art is consistent in tone across the five lands, the score is composed by the same musician behind Layers of Fear, Kholat, Husk and Observer, and the song "Dreams" by Emi Evans — known from NieR: Automata and Dark Souls — appears as the emotional centrepiece of the soundtrack. The game runs short, never tells you exactly how to read its symbolism, and trusts the player to recognise what the surreal layer is actually about — a quiet meditation on siblings, illness and the protective power of imagination.
