The Rabbit Died

22 November 2008 | 11:51 PM

While I’m too squeamish, inept and uncoordinated to participate in most console gaming, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for viral web games. This is probably because the Flash or Shockwave environments are highly interactive and stylized, while the games themselves are short and to the point. Such is the case with this simple promotional bit of (literal) fluffiness from the Dutch interactive firm 10mg, a silly and harrowing bit of emergency stuffed-bunny surgery which will either lead our hero Bre’r Rabbit down the path to enlightenment and eternal life, or send him packin’ for the pearly gates. Yes, it’s easy to solve (even for a dunce like me), but it’s also is tightly produced and pretty cheeky, leading me to believe that maybe, finally, there might be an interactive firm out there whose own sense of self-importance might be overshadowed by its sense of humor. No, it’s not as cool (or nearly as addictive) as my favorite one of these kinds of things ever, but it’s pretty clever nonetheless. And I will say that, as someone sitting in a house filled chock-a-block with stuffed animals, the temptation to put one under the knife is growing by the second.
