The Night of the Rabbit is a point-and-click adventure video game developed and published by Daedalic Entertainment for Microsoft Windows and OS X.
On the last days of summer vacation, 12-year old aspiring magician Jerry Hazelnut finds a formula to create a "carrot flame". After he puts the ingredients together, a traveling case appears out from nowhere. Inside the case is a wand, a magic hat and an anthropomorphized upright albino rabbit wearing a coat. The rabbit introduces himself as the Marquis de Hoto. He tells the world has many parallel universes. The roots of very old trees are connected to each other deep in the ground and can make a connection with the ones in the parallel universes. The Marquis de Hoto is a "Treewalker" and uses a magic spell to travel between the parallel universes. Furthermore, inside each parallel universe there lies invisible magic can be revealed by using a special hollow coin that Jerry owns.
The Marquis de Hoto offers Jerry a chance to become his apprentice in order to become a magician. Jerry needs to follow a long term course, although the rabbit claims Jerry will be home again before dinner. Jerry agrees and travels with Marquis de Hoto to a beautiful fairy-tale looking parallel universe. They end up in the town of Mousewood which is inhabited by talking woodland animals. Through the Marquis and the Magician of Mousewood, Jerry learns about "portal trees" and travels to different worlds to learn four spells in order to become a true Treewalker, all the while helping the residents of Mousewood. During this time, he sees a recurring image of a person who appears to know him.
However, Jerry finds out this world is about to be attacked by an evil magician named Zaroff. Zaroff already conquered many parallel universes through a spell by using four cursed nails. After learning his fourth spell, Jerry returns home to find many years have passed and his mother long gone. Determined to break the curse, Jerry returns to Mousewood and finds the residents under Zaroff's influence. He captures four lizards posing as humans who are Zaroff's accomplices, and looks for the clearing of the "First Tree" wherein Zaroff lies. Trapped in-between worlds, he makes another "carrot flame" which summons forth a masked magician who shows Jerry the way. He also learns his father has been removed from his world and all memories of him erased.
