A boy wakes up with no memory of his past during a stormy night. Apparently he was a normal human once (eve if he had white hair, but uh ok), but now he's a sort of anthropomorphic rabbit. For some unknown reason he was also transported to a world populated by other anthropomorphic animals that are mostly friendly, but it's also a world where the wilderness is plagued by monsters and bandits. The rabbit-boy, taking the name of Cole (or whatever the player chooses) arms himself with a mallet and decides to find a way to go home...
After a short but nice animated cartoonish intro, the game starts with a simple mission: go back home. This adventure follows the classic tropes of the classic jrpg games: the protagonist will have to helps the inhabitants of this mysterious world to obtain their collaboration, earning the trust of some friends that will help him during his adventure, fighting monsters and exploring dungeons. That's nothing new at least mechanically, but the cute custom art and lighthearted story make this rpg stand out among the countless FF-clones made with Rpgmaker 2000.
Random Fact: while this is a classic rpgmaker game, for some reason the developer created a custom menu that includes some extra options (like managing the gauntlets, the items used to "do magic" in this universe). Not that was really necessary, but again, like the cartoon-like cutscenes s something that makes this game different from the others.
Final Verdict: despite the title this isn't really a "dark" game, it's pretty lighthearted. And it's also a pretty interesting strange fantasy adventure.
