Which Hundred Rabbits Games Are Textless, Puzzle, or Interactive Fiction?

Updated

Hundred Rabbits' itch.io catalog sorts cleanly by style: Oquonie and Hiversaires are the textless titles, Donsol is the purest puzzle pick, and Paradise is the interactive fiction entry. If you want a game that explains nothing and lets you explore, start with Oquonie; if you want a short card puzzle you can finish in one sitting, start with Donsol.

The collective describes itself as documenting low-tech solutions aboard a 10 m sailboat named Pino, and that ethos shows in the catalog: small, self-contained games with minimal hand-holding. The page groups everything under Games, Books, Tools, and Playground.

Textless games: Oquonie and Hiversaires

Both titles are listed as textless, meaning no dialogue or written instructions carry the experience.

Title Listed genre What it is How it plays
Oquonie Puzzle A textless adventure across an intertwined megastructure Play in browser
Hiversaires Puzzle A textless point-and-click puzzle game Desktop download (no browser tag listed)

Oquonie is the more approachable of the two: it runs in the browser, so you can try it without installing anything. Hiversaires is a point-and-click puzzle in the same wordless tradition, but the page does not list a browser version, so expect to download it.

Choose Oquonie if you want a longer, exploratory adventure and prefer playing in a browser tab. Choose Hiversaires if you like classic point-and-click puzzle logic and don't mind a download.

Puzzle games beyond the textless pair

The page tags four titles as Puzzle: Oquonie, Hiversaires, Donsol, and Polycat. Polycat is also tagged Platformer, so it sits at the edge of the category.

  • Donsol — a solitary card game where you go through the deck in sequences of 4 cards. It plays in the browser. This is the best pick if you want a rules-light puzzle with a clear end state.
  • Polycat — a platformer ("Jump around!") that plays in the browser. Pick it if you want movement and reflex rather than logic puzzles.

If your goal is "a puzzle I can understand in one minute," Donsol fits best. If your goal is "a puzzle with atmosphere and no words," go back to Oquonie.

Interactive fiction: Paradise and Lepore Express Line

Two titles lean narrative:

  • Paradise — described as an interactive fiction playground, playable in the browser. This is the closest thing to a traditional IF experience in the catalog.
  • Lepore Express Line — a visual novel tagged "Take a train ride, meet some folks," playable in the browser. Choose this if you want a short, character-driven scene rather than open-ended IF.

Paradise suits readers who like exploring a system of text. Lepore Express Line suits readers who want a guided story with a fixed route.

The rest of the Games section

For completeness, the remaining titles cover other genres:

  • Verreciel — a glass spaceship simulator (Simulation).
  • Niju — a kana review application (Educational), playable in the browser. Useful if you're learning Japanese kana, not a game in the entertainment sense.
  • Legs — an isometric voxel editor, playable in the browser. Despite sitting under Games, it's a creation tool.

A quick decision path

  1. Want no words at all? → Oquonie (browser) or Hiversaires (download).
  2. Want a compact card puzzle? → Donsol.
  3. Want a story? → Paradise for open IF, Lepore Express Line for a visual novel.
  4. Want action? → Polycat.
  5. Want to build rather than play? → Legs, or browse the Tools section (Orca, Left, Nasu, Noodle, Dotgrid, Ronin, Pilot).

One caveat: the page lists "Play in browser" only for some titles. For anything without that tag, plan on a download, and check the individual title page for platform details before committing.
