Um dos melhores point and click que eu já joguei! gráficos extremamente lindos e com artes bem elaboradas, uma verdadeira obra de arte!! puzzles com dificuldades na medida certa e que fazem toda a diferença! Estou finalizando o game pela segunda vez, amo esse jogo ♥

My Brother Rabbit is a charming and touching story about a young brother and his little sister who got mysteriously ill. The game will take you to a fantasy world where a little cute rabbit does all he can to protect the delicate flower in five beautifully made chapters. Each chapter contains many puzzles, objects to find and collect in order to complete or open a path to the next area.

The user interface is easy, and kind of used as a hint, especially for the items you want to find, when you move from an area to another, the square on the top with the item inside of it will light up, which means you can find it in this area, when it turns dark it means there are no items to pick here. In this screenshot you can see the balloons icon light up while the others are not.

The beautiful into music got me hooked, I was so excited when they announced the singer will be Emi Evans who sang beautifully in many games before including (Drakenguard/Drag-on Dragoon and Nier) The composer did a great job too with the tone of the music as sometimes it sounded happy and in other scenes it shows us how sad the parents are.

The artwork is amazing, especially the parents and their kids story sequences, I loved those the most, but of course, the whole game's graphics and artwork are beautiful and unique. Characters style are cute. I liked that you can interact with almost everything you see.

TL;DR This the best hidden object game hands down.

HOG games usually are fun and relaxing if you love genre but a lot of puzzles or item placement doesn't make any sense and i'm not even going to talk about stories in those, they're ridiculous.

So how My Brother Rabbit is different to those? Well, it tells a touching story of a seriously ill girl and her brother. I think because the game is kids friendly the story is told through symbolism in a surreal world so that children wouldn't understand and get upset about seeing terrible things the little girl goes through. Instead there are cut-scenes which happen in real time, it shows the illness but in kind of a cute way. But all is revealed through gameplay where you can find plenty of stuff indicating the girl is going through chemo and surgery, brother drowning in depression and other stuff. This really hit me hard in the feelings when I realized that. Never thought a game so colorful could be so sad. Nevertheless it;s a heartwarming game, after all children should enjoy it too so you get a happy ending.

Artifex Mundi tries to innovate here and they succeeded. On top of a great story the gameplay is pretty good too. Plenty of puzzles which sometimes could be quite difficult but no too bad. There's no skip button or any help so you'll need either to figure it out yourself or look for a solution.
You pick up hidden items and when you have enough you open a puzzle. Nothing fancy but it's fun.
By the way there is a little help from the game if you struggle to find the hidden objects. Right in the corner where you see what items you need. If it's gray that means there's no item in that location.

The artstyle is very nice, lot of attention to small details, all locations look lovely and surreal. Music is ok. There's no voiceovers, there's no dialogues and that's a good thing knowing the quality of dialogues in HOG games.

This a nice evolution of hidden object genre. Even if you're not a fan of these games you should play it just for the amazing story and surreal world.

Pros

• Great story
  
• Cute graphics
  
• Good puzzles

Cons

• Help or skip button for the puzzles would be nice

When his little sister falls ill, a young boys imagination leads him to invent a fantasy world in which he as Brother Rabbit, searches for a cure for Little Flower. In every way this is a heartwarming tale, deeply rooted in empathy and compassion. The uniqueness of the title however lies in its innovation, bending the standard tropes of the HOPA genre.

+Pros
• Heartwarming tale
  
• Excellent task design
  
• Amazing graphics and cut scenes
  
• Delightful soundtrack
  
  -Cons
  
• Extremely short
  
• Tasks can be overwhelming at times
  
• Annoying HUD system that can’t be minimized
  
• No hint system
  
• Little replayability value

My Brother Rabbit is an unvoiced game, the narrative delivered via cutscenes, and gameplay, weaving its quest for understanding through a child’s eyes. And the game is immensely naive, with vibrant colours vying for supremacy in every environment. Strange creatures vie for existence in a variety of ecosystems. The world is bizarre juxtaposing our understanding of fantasy with a child's bewildering experience of hospitals and surgical wards, slowly grappling to come to terms with the harshness of reality.

This juxtaposition of the child’s mind and the adult’s world has been attempted before, most notably in games like The Whispered World and its sequel Silence but where these are aimed at slightly older audiences, My Brother Rabbit’s appeal lies in the fact that it is suitable for all ages and celebrates the robustness of the human psyche in overcoming trauma, fear and loss of innocence. It accomplishes this by showing the alien experience that is the healthcare system and the fear experienced by a child confronting this for the first time. Her Brother Rabbit, accompanies her each step of the way, assisting and comforting her, never giving up searching for her even when she is lost and far away, stranded on a distant shore.

Little Flower's variety of ailments to cure are born out in the gameplay. Barriers to progress such as thermometers halt the search of Brother Rabbit, and until her temperature falls, he is unable to progress… this entails a hunt. A hunt for a solution to help lower her fever and what better way than by searching for her favourite food; ice lollies. It seems quirky yet this is the logic of the child at play here.

Searching… will form the bulk of the gameplay, and this is where Artifex Mundi has created a variation on their established Hidden Object game formula. No longer are Hidden Object scenes additional to the gameplay, instead every area is home to objects. Some are macguffins, to lead you astray, but the vast majority will have you clicking them to either pick up, or interact with to reveal another object for collection. This innovation makes the pixel hunting far more integral to the gameplay. A welcome change, however those who don’t like scouring every scene are going to be disappointed with this game.

In addition to this basic variation of the Hidden Object scene, there are also construction scenes that will have you placing items onto strange contraptions to make them work, leading to a feeling of actively changing the world as you construct something, and are the most tactile of the interactions in the game.

Quests are delivered when you find the related puzzle, which will send you wandering off to acquire the appropriate items to activate it. They are monitored in small boxes at the top right hand of the screen and will be blue if an object is present or grey if not. This is the primary hint system of the game as there are no other options to guide you. The boxes also contain a certain number of dots, indicating how many items of a certain type you need to find. I found the boxes to be somewhat irritating, as they are the only aspect of an HUD present, and since the game will have you pursuing multiple quests at a time I constantly wished I could hide them to see the screen better as they slowly stretched out to fill the top.

Many of the puzzles will be familiar favourites to veterans of the genre, and a pleasant surprise was the scaling difficulty, with puzzles near the end actually increasing in complexity. This was a welcome relief as there is no ability to scale difficulty levels when starting the game, since the game doesn’t use the standard HoG mechanics, however it was still rather easy to complete, and as a consequence has a fairly short playtime, especially when compared to other games in the genre.

Sometimes the quests did become frustrating as Quest A would require Quest B which would require Quest C… this chaining was irksome rather than endearing, and lead to something of a bottleneck if you were missing an item for Quest C yet had already obtained the majority of the items for A and B. However at most points in the game the quests were parallel which reduced this frustration.

Activating the puzzles can either be a chore or a joy depending on how much you enjoy gathering items. The game is fair in how often it provides you with new quests as well as the number of active quests, so although you will be revisiting areas in search of items, this is generally limited, and it manages to feel fresh, rather than repetitive. This freshness was also enhanced as some of the puzzle solutions actively acted to change aspects of the environments.

With its whimsical ambience, inventive contraptions, bizarre environments and quirky creatures, all the ingenuity of the artists are on display here. The artwork is of the exceptional quality that Artifex Mundi is renowned for, and each environment has scenic backdrops to hint at a larger world yet provides enough mid- and foreground to search out the items. There is a somewhat 2 dimensional feel, as you tend to move either left or right across the scene or up and down, and never into the field of vision. This made the world feel a little restricted.

The animations are fluid and highly entertaining. Each creature has small amusing expressions and interactions, that added to their characterization and there is a plethora of small details to be noticed whether it is rotating windmills, or snapping crab claws, everything moves with uniqueness and distinction.

The cutscenes were gorgeously rendered, done in a pen and ink style, with added watercolours that told the events of the story. It formed a lovely counterpoint to the saccharine colours of the main game, with the neutral whites a pleasant break for the eyes.

From the opening menu the dulcet voice of Emi Evans, will serenade you with a haunting lullaby hinting at the specialness of the soundtrack. There is a variety of music to enjoy from upbeat tunes to slow melodies. Especial favourites where the toe-tapping sequences during the construction scenes, where with each additional item new instruments would burst into life expanding the beat or introducing a new layer to the melody.

My Brother Rabbit is a charming and whimsical adventure that showcases the power of imagination in overcoming fear and difficulties. It is innovative and will definitely shake up the genre however there are still some issues with this new design that will need to be ironed out if used in future releases as well as lengthening the overshort playtime.

What a delightful game this is! Suitable for children to play, but adults will understand the serious theme behind it.
A little boy's younger sister becomes seriously ill and to cope, he escapes into a surreal world with her toy rabbit. Graphics are delightfully bright and cartoonish and music was lovely. The opening song is very moving and I sat listening to it again as the credits rolled.
There is quite a bit of pixel hunting and you hunt for items to get mechanisms going to advance the rabbit. Puzzles are very easy...the hardest was the stamp one. You meet some delightful characters . Be sure to touch everything to get great sound effects.
The downside is that it took me only 6 hrs to complete, so very expensive for such a short game. Be sure to buy on sale. I came across no glitches. 8/10

Options include separate sliders for Music, Sound and Brightness. Left click to interact, right-click to cancel.

The first thing I noticed upon entering was the music. That gorgeous and haunting song just floored me! I'm really happy that there's a downloadable soundtrack for this one! Do yourself a favor and take a listen to the OP:

At a glance, this looks much like a game that Amanita[amanita-design.net] might have designed, but it plays more like a cross between Violett and The Tiny Bang Story. This is a bright and colorful world, full of interesting tasks and puzzles, but it is rooted in some very serious subject matter. Everything in the game (except for a few tutorial pop-ups) is communicated via pictures. Heads up that the cutscenes may be hard to watch if you've ever had a seriously-ill child. (I don't consider this a spoiler since it's in the game description.)

The gameplay revolves around big brother's way of dealing with his sister's illness - with his rich imagination. Enter his magically-creative world, and his own way of telling the story.

Click on anything, click on everything. When you see a translucent butterfly-like creature, click on the area to get new items to find. These items will show up in a to-find box in the top right corner. The dots beneath the image there will show you how many you need to find, and if it's black-and-white, there are no more to be found at your current location.

Can't remember where you're supposed to use the items when you find them all? No worries, the devs thought of that! Click on the blue arrow at the bottom of the box for a picture of where you need to be.

There are no HINTS and no SKIPS, but the puzzles aren't mind-boggling or frustrating. In addition to standard (but still inventive) puzzles, there are also areas where you need to put things together, such as a flying machine. I really enjoyed these sequences ;D

We have five world areas to explore, and each will be available via the main menu's Chapter Select option once you complete it.

The 30 Achievements are not all obtained through just playing the game - you'll have to work towards some of them (I managed to miss five! lol~)

My Brother Rabbit is a vibrant and engaging trip into imagination, and I had a lot of fun playing it! Recommended!

Superb Hidden Object Game! Cute story, very good visuals, and enjoyable puzzles; clearly made by experienced developers!

A little girl is gifted a toy rabbit to comfort and support her. She is ill, and visiting hospitals. In an imaginary world, this rabbit is also looking for a cure for her persona. In this fairytale world we are solving puzzles to find that cure!

Each of the five chapters start with a screen, where you have to click on a problem to be solved. That problem requires a few similar items, a few can be found on that screen. When all items are found there, you move to another screen. Every screen has a new set of items to find, which also can be found in previous screens. It works very fluidly and intuitive. When you finish a set, there is sometimes a puzzle to solve. Some are easy, but they can be challenging! Especially the puzzles in the final chapter are tough, there is one with stamps, I still have no clue why it is solved the way it is. Overall this is also fun for kids I think.

The visuals and sounds are well done! It looks almost like a Pixar movie. The music is nice and good, and put into instrument tracks for some puzzles, adding one instrument at a time. There is no language involved, they speak with images.
Yet we are confronted that this is a mobile port by using a very awkward resolution, that no pc uses. We have come to a point that it doesn't really matter anymore, it's just a 'hey, huh?'.

Although HOG isn't really my thing, this one is as good as it gets. A sweet compelling story, good pace, nice puzzles but not too difficult, and it just looks great! What more can you wish for?

79/100

An impressive attempt by Artifex Mundi at a different kind of game for them. The graphics and music are gorgeous, the story is touching, the UI cleverly friendly (very playable with a gamepad), but the game, unfortunately, falls flat.

The problem is that the gameplay is at the same time unexpectedly shallow and unexpectedly difficult.

It looks like it might be an adventure game, but it absolutely isn't. It's a series of hidden-object areas with puzzle mini-games, and that's it. You do not move your character around. You do not have an inventory of items. So much could have been done with the base concept, but instead this game has less depth than casual mobile games. Other Artifex Mundi games are so much richer in gameplay than this.

And it's hard, for the most part. Don't let the child-friendly graphics fool you: you'll spend a long time scouring the scene looking for tiny little objects, sometimes hidden behind the scenery. But there's usually little satisfaction in finding them, as they're merely obscured rather than cleverly hidden. This core mechanic quickly becomes annoying busywork. What's odd is that the puzzle mini-games are ridiculously easy by comparison. So ... they also feel like busywork rather than a challenge. A mediocre experience on both accounts.

It pains me to give this game a thumbs down, because I love Artifex Mundi and I love what they hoped to achieve here. But hope in itself doesn't create a good game.

The best way I can summarize this game is as such:
The Whispered World + The Tiny Bang Story + Artifex Mundi = My Brother Rabbit

If you enjoyed The Tiny Bang Story, this game is for you. If you enjoy the puzzles you have come to expect from Artifex Mundi, this game is for you.

If you are playing with kids, do not let them get too worried it all works out.

Really Good Fun Game.
It's a Mix of Point&Click/Hidden Object Game.
None of the Puzzles are Difficult but some will Force you to Think a Little Bit.

The Art is Great & really Colourful.
Story is Suitable For All Ages.

8/10
