My Brother Rabbit

This game stands out among the countless mass-produced hidden object and puzzle games, all sharing similar art styles and familiar stories each time. I found myself deeply immersed in the enchanting tale of a beautiful adventure, filled with a unique yet lovely fantasy imagination. It allowed me to engage with it, my eyes shining like a child's.

Brother Rabbit and Rose-Bud Sister!
Relatively short but creative game for the hidden object genre published by Artifex Mundi, a name that I grew up with.
I have been a fan of HOG games for a while, but this one is specially artistic, creative and brought more to the table than the average HOG game.
Story - Very Sad
This is the first time I think I played a HOG game that is especially this sad. The story what looks like a total mystery to me even after finishing the game. I won't give spoiler but this looks like a dream that a child is having than a concrete universe which I thought is a fascinating outlook for a story premise. The game introduces two characters who seem the main characters and your job is to take your friend to a doctor because she is affected by the plague (I think lol). The story is heavily interpretative in many different angles, but looks like a byproduct of a child's imagination. I eventually thought that it is a game for kids, it kinda is. But i would doubt that kids can solve certain puzzles in the game.
Characters: Cute and Lovable
The main characters are the rose bud with no name and the rabbit whom I am going to assume is the brother rabbit mentioned in the title. He is a little bit grumpy and rose bud is just a unlively flower waiting to get cured. The rabbit is very sympathetic towards the rose bud and seem to be ready to go to the ends of his universe to help his friend, which is the storyline lol. There is also the Dr. Bear and some side characters which are not memorable that much. But the main ones are cute and has some personality.
Gameplay: Creative
I think its the gameplay that captured my interest for this game. It is very unique and has different premises. You collect items from different scenes which can be combined to a single item and can be used in certain scenes. Then you have musical type of HOG scenarios where you collect items and build weird contraptions straight off from a child's heavy imagination.
Art and Music: Atmospheric
I thought the art was amazing and creative. It has a lot of colors and looks fun to look at. The music is so very emotional that I literally turned off the music in one chapters because it is sad. Still it is very beautiful OST, definitely worth buying.
Achievements
Some achievements are very missable but if you explore everything you can get more than 50% of them from the first try. Later you can visit each chapter instead of replaying the whole game to collect the missing ones. But, you will be starting each chapter from the beginning of course. Still beats, because I didn't have to restart the whole thing. So the devs are sort of caring in that manner.
Overall
I think its a very nice and creative HOG adventure for adults who desire some uniqueness in this particular genre. It has a grappling short story of courage and suffering which gives out an interesting ending.

My Brother Rabbit’s dual story offers a charming, warm and somewhat emotional adventure. Special mention goes to the game’s gorgeously drawn artwork, together with its wonderful soundtrack. It’s easily the most distinct point-and-click game that we’ve seen from Artifex Mundi so far, and despite its lack of difficulty, it’s a journey worth taking, one that’s filled with character and splendor throughout.

My Brother Rabbit is a charming adventure and puzzle game set in the whimsical imagination of a poorly child and her caring brother. Players explore a remarkable and wondrous world finding hidden objects and using them to solve a host of fun puzzles.
It is a fantastic game that offers an emotive narrative that is not too overbearing, a gorgeous and varied aesthetic with unique visuals and moving audio, a delightful game world filled with curious beings and fantastical landscapes and fun, satisfying gameplay that combines a number of cohesive genres. It is a wonderful experience overall, taking approximately four hours to complete and is well worth its asking price. I highly recommend it, especially to fans of wholesome and relaxing point-and-click puzzle adventures.

My full review of this game where I go into detail about gameplay, narrative, and styling is available on Indie Hive.

This game was great fun. And I've been gaming since Pong. Some of the puzzles were a little too challenging to where you'd have to check a walk-through but you wouldn't be glued to the walk-through. Just a little hint to get you moving again. The game is very colorful and whimsical. Music was OK. Wasn't a long game. Can finish it easily in a day or two. I'm going to try to find another one like this. Have fun.

Amazing game to play with your small child. I started playing on my own to try and solve the puzzles, but it was a bit difficult with the controller, maybe unintuitive, or maybe I was not used to playing point and click games. Then I understood the mechanics, and I started enjoying it, and started to follow the story. At the same time, my 6 years old daughter started watching me play, and then she wanted to play, so she would take over the controller and try to advance. So, we progressed the story together until the end. Then we played it again, just for good measures. We loved it! The game, the story.

"My Brother Rabbit" by Artifex Mundi is a visually enchanting game that takes players on a nostalgic journey through a dreamlike world.

Puzzle enthusiasts will appreciate the game's variety, offering logical challenges and item-based puzzles with a well-tuned difficulty curve. The soundtrack adds another layer to the experience, enhancing emotional moments throughout the journey.
In summary, "My Brother Rabbit" is a delightful blend of nostalgic aesthetics, engaging puzzles, and heartfelt storytelling. The overall experience leaves players with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the artistry in gaming.
