Where game developers like Sierra Online, LucasArt and EA Games put out <em>muy excellente<\/em> titles such as Gabriel Knight, Police Quest and Indiana Jones (to name a few!) I find myself longing for those sort of games \u2013 where things don&#8217;t get blown up and people don&#8217;t have to die a bloody death. A game where it&#8217;s a bit more civilized than the mind-numbing, violent first-person shooter that makes me queasy while giving me mind-throbbing headaches.<\/p>\n<p>One day, I stumbled on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.antennariagames.com\/indie-videogames\/rabbit-fable\" target=\"_blank\">The Rabbit Fable by an Argentina-based indie games developer; Antennaria Games<\/a> and immediately I was drawn to the all the weirdness (ever played <em>The Neverhood<\/em> anyone?) which was quite a breath of fresh air, if you ask me. In it you play a house-bearing rabbit that&#8217;s been rejected by the gatekeepers of his longed for realm. And poof! He soon finds himself flung into a swamp with weird creatures, where he must figure out a way to get to where he wants to be.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m mid-way through, and I have to say that it&#8217;s quite fun! There are no dialogues, so there&#8217;s no language barrier to get around. The animation is smooth, and the creatures are odd yet amusing.<\/p>\n<p>Give it a spin and you might just be pleasantly surprised at what you&#8217;ll discover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <a title=\"A Rabbit Fable\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/2013\/04\/25\/a-rabbit-fable\/\" aria-label=\"More on A Rabbit Fable\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34632,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[64,199,75,92],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34594"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34594"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34594\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34637,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34594\/revisions\/34637"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
