Good puzzle game with the art style that I like.

an artifex mundi joint that actually does something different? say it ain't so

much more like samorost and its ilk than usual, and it's quite good

i'll admit i'm numb to "sad indie game" vibe so i barely cared about the story but i was still engaged with actually hunting for all the hidden objects so i guess this hog hooked me

My Brother Rabbit (2018): Una ¿Aventura gráfica? muy sencillota y simplona. El gameplay no tiene ningún reto y la historia, aunque bonita, es breve y sencilla. El juego no intenta ir más allá, ni arriesga de ningún modo, pero es suficiente para pasar un buen rato (5,60)

One of the most beautiful indie games I've played. Not only are the puzzles extremely fun, the story itself is absolutely heartbreaking and engaging. Couldnt recommend more

Cute little game, much better than other similar ones

A cute and short puzzle game with charming artstyle, nice music and a heartwarming story. Not much I can say about it, completed in a few hours, the puzzles were not too hard where I'd have to look it up so it was a nice and relaxing experience.

A simple puzzle/point and click game that does everything it possibly can to make sure you have good vibes playing it.

A beautiful artstyle and an almost haunting OST do a lot of heavy lifting. But the game part is fun too. The point and click gameplay is really helped by an on-screen indicator that shows you which screen has the item you're looking for. This made me so happy as that's a frequent annoyance of mine in these kinds of games.

So yeah. It's short (2-3 hours) and real sweet. An easy point and click recommendation if you're looking for something to unwind to.

On search for more Point'n'Clicks to play on Nintendo Switch I stumbled upon My Brother Rabbit being on sale for just 1,49€, so what could go wrong? Colorful designs remind of Alice in Wonderland, though some faces rather pulled the existence of a show called Teletubbies back in mind. After all, we're inside a child's imagination.

There's just very little storytelling though to explain the situation, leaving the connection to the player's interpretation. That is quite different to what I'm used to within the genre. Despite having cut scenes, there's no focus on dialogue. It's all about diving deeper into fairytale realms with a strange twist in logic. And puzzles. Lots of them.

I can't say that's bad at all, though a huge portion of tasks is rather a finding Waldo principle, like finding a certain number of butterflies in the busy level designs. My Brother Rabbit's larger combination exercises on the other hand are a bit too hard for children, I think, and that sinister subtext ain't for them either.

Though I'd expect a less reduced Point'n'Click to become a favourite, clever yet funny dialogues and a better developed storyline, My Brother Rabbit kept me hooked for an extended afternoon to complete it in a single session. The game has a fascinating atmosphere, enough variability and almost hilarious characters to remain interesting.

The controls on Switch are, like often in the genre, something to get used to, but they are designed well enough to find all the tiny spots even in handheld mode. Even though there's little replay value, My Brother Rabbit is satisfactory at being that niche game it is. Nothing wrong with that. Guess I'd play another one like it.
