Rabbit Escape
Stealth/Escape Game
2024 New Mexico 48 Hour Game Jam
Rabbit Escape is a suspenseful stealth/escape game developed in Unreal Engine 5 for the 2024 New Mexico Game Jam with the theme Pulse. Players take on the role of a rabbit desperate to escape the house of its obsessive owner, Amy. To succeed, the player must traverse the house and avoid detection while managing stamina to prevent heart failure. Amy patrols the house hunting for the player, forcing quick thinking, stealth tactics, and clever use of hiding spots beneath tables, behind doors, and within the environment. The game blends tension, humor, and strategy, offering a unique escape experience from the perspective of a fragile but determined pet.

In Rabbit Escape, I led the project while also designing and implementing all of Amy’s AI systems. Using Unreal Engine’s behavior trees, I built her logic from scratch, including patrolling, vision-based detection, sound-based awareness, and predictive locating. I implemented sound cues to reinforce her presence and create a sense of dread whenever she was near. My work ensured Amy behaved as an intelligent, reactive antagonist, directly challenging the player. Alongside these technical contributions, I coordinated the team’s workflow to keep the project on track with the jams 48-hour time limit.
