Serena Nelson writes: "Here's the story in a nutshell. You're a shut-in. You haven't been to school in a year and haven't left the house in that time. It's just been you and your father the entire time. Your doctor has diagnosed you with an illness known as Rabbit Syndrome, a disease that if you don't go out and socialize you're literally gonna die. Yeah, that's a lot of heavy stuff to take in for a dating sim. But it kinda works."
Serena Nelson writes: "Those who have been following the campaign for the visual novel Rabbit Syndrome know that this dating sim didn't make funding by the time the clock ticked down to zero. It barely even made a dent towards the funding goal. Out of the €3,000 goal only €465 was pledged between 30 backers. Even for a visual novel this is a rather abysmal sum. That said, the developers at Lusaw Project won't lie down and die because of this setback."
Serena Nelson writes: "What exactly is Rabbit Syndrome? It's the basis for getting the main character to go out and socialize. To meet new people. It is an illness that affects people, such as our shut-in protagonist, in which you need to make friends or you "die of loneliness". A rather macabre way of starting off with a dating sim visual novel, but it seems to be rather effective as you're going to be doing a lot of decision making and, hopefully, find your purpose in life. Or something like that."
