- Happy 1st Anniversary! - 26 February 2025
Technically it's in a few days but I need to get this announcement out early Hey all, ShortCake here! Rabbit Hole came out on March 1st back in 2024, after 3 years in development. Frankly, it's still a miracle it came out at all, let alone reach the success it did. Over 50 000 users have played the game up to this point, meaning i get the right to call myself a niche indie game developper. I hope you all enjoyed your time with the game since then, and I thankful for everyone who gave my game a shot. Anyways... We'll be hosting a stream on March 1st to celebrate! We'll be answering some questions and showing off some old builds! (We'll probably also just play Rabbit Hole for fun) If you wanna ask questions but think you won't be able to make it, feel free to write some in the replies or to send us an email at [email protected] ! We'll also be showcasing fanart, old and…
- Rabbit Hole is back up! - 7 January 2025
Rabbit Hole is available for download again! We fixed the issue and steam was satisfied with our changes! Shout out to AshtonMemer for the fix! I hope you all enjoy your time with Rabbit Hole, and may it live on forever! Here's some fun pixel art I made recently to celebrate! (Rabbit Hole's artstyle is actually 3 years old so it was a fun challenge to see how it would look if i started the game today) (No i'm not working on a remake)
- Rabbit Hole Temporarily Unavailable - 4 January 2025
Hey all, ShortCake here. Some of you may have noticed Rabbit Hole isn't available to download anymore. Turns out Rabbit Hole has been accidentally setting off some peoples antiviruses and steam has decided to make the game unavailable until this issue is fixed. With the help of AshtonMemer, we've pushed out a new update fixing what we think might be the issue and we're currently awaiting an answer from steam. We weren't able to set off any of our own antiviruses so we're sort of taking a shot in the dark here. Just to make it clear, Rabbit Hole doesn't contain any malware. It's just running in electron, which I think some antiviruses don't like too much. If Rabbit Hole has ever triggered your antivirus, please send us as much information as possible over at this email address: [email protected] If worst comes to happen and Steam decides to fully take Rabbit Hole down...Ra…

Hey everyone, it's been while hasn't it? From the 27th of November to the 4th of December, The Art of Rabbit Hole will be on sale for 50% off! It'll be on sale on Itch.io, where steam doesn't take a cut, so consider grabbing it over there if you want to support me! Ghoulscrapers will also be on sale during this time! If you've wanted to pick up the game for a while, now's the time! As for me, I'm currently working on a new project! I can't say much about it just yet, since it's very early in development, but if you wanna follow along development, check out my Bluesky!
- Ghoulscrapers is available now! - 5 September 2024
Guess who made a new videogame? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2843550/GhoulScrapers/ Ghoulscrapers is out now! It's a short precision platformer made by me and a couple classmates as our final college project. We then polished it up and published it to steam! Hope you enjoy!
- THE ART OF RABBIT HOLE, AVAILABLE NOW! - 2 September 2024
After months of work, it's finally complete! The Art of Rabbit Hole is a lengthy digital artbook going over behind the scenes content! Featuring: 70+ pages! Exclusive concept art! Director's commentary on most pages! Q&A with the dev team & cast of the game! This will be my final Rabbit Hole related project (at least for a little while). The artbook explains pretty much everything design wise and the Q&A segment at the end serves as an epilogue for most of the cast. Links to the artbook! Itch.io https://shortcake-cafe.itch.io/the-art-of-rabbit-hole Steam (DLC) If you want to support me, consider buying the artbook on Itch.io since Steam takes 30% of all revenue. However, it's completely fine if you don't! I'm glad people can read the book in any way possible! Anyways, that's it for me. Hope you enjoyed your time with Rabbit Hole and I hope this artbook is a decent sendoff to the game. O…

- Rabbit Hole Q&A - Artbook update! - 15 August 2024
Ask us (or them) anything! At the end of the artbook, we'll have a Q&A section where we'll answer as many questions as we can! However, you can also ask questions to the game's cast and they'll answer "in-character". You can ask anything! Specify if you want to ask a question to a character or the devs! Comment on this post or send us an email at [email protected]! We'll answer as many questions as we can at the end of the artbook! Deadline is August 25th. Also the turnips can't speak, so they probably can't answer your questions. Sorry turnip fans. You're working on an artbook? I am working on an artbook! It compiles most of the concept art and promo art made for the game and includes commentary from me on each page! I'm around 70% done with it and it'll probably come out at the end of the month (no promises, I still need to clean up the entire thing and get it proof read by som…

- Steam achievements, Fanart event and the state of development! - 17 May 2024
Hey all, Shortcake here! Steam Achievements You may have noticed the sudden appearence of steam achievements... ...That's because currently working towards adding steam api features in v1.06! However, to test said features, we sorta have to have the achievements up. I'll go more into detail on how this was done despite the fact Rabbit Hole runs on scratch in a later update, but credits to AshtonMemer for heavily helping us (basically doing all the work). Steam achievements aren't functionnal in the current build (v1.05) but will be once the game updates to v1.06. Also don't worry, any achievements you have in v1.05 will automatically be unlocked on steam once you update to v1.06. Fanart event v1.06 introduces a new area to the game, the museum! An area dedicated to the community, which will feature the fanart we've received! If you want your art featured in game, QRT this post on twitte…

Hey all, ShortCake_Cafe here! Newgrounds' Games of the month! On april 7th, Newgrounds announced their best of the month, where Rabbit Hole was voted 2nd best game of the month by users of the site! I'm very thankful for everyone who voted for our game! (We even had some people in the community disappointed that it didn't win 1st place, but I'm very happy that we even made it in the top 5) State of development At the moment, I'm working on v1.04. This update will add 2-3 new weapons, some rebalacing and add Moko's alt skin to the game. Here's a sneak peak! As for development as a whole, the goal is to finish adding all the skins, add a few more guns and maybe add a few extra things along the way. If all goes well, this should all be completed by the end of the month. Once we reach that point, Rabbit Hole's development will come to an end and I will start work on new projects. Rabbit Hol…

- MERCH AVAILABLE NOW! - 14 March 2024
THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'VE HEARD CORRECTLY. YOU CAN NOW WEAR MERCH OF YOUR FAVORITE FREE STREAM GAME RIGHT NOW! LINK TO THE STORE! Hey all! ShortCake_Cafe here! (It's 1am rn and Engi_ee is asleep so he can't write this) Merch is a thing we've been planning for a little bit now, and I'm very happy to finally release it! Now obviously, I know Redbubble isn't all that great. However I wanted to offer some sort of merch somehow! We don't have the money, tools or popularity to actually make this stuff on our own, so this is the best we can do for now, I apologize in advance! In the future though, it would be super nice to get picked by some company who actually does clothing and merch (like fangamer or others like it). --- Now, while I'm on the topic to shamelessly advertising, if you want to support me or the development of Rabbit Hole, consider Donating to my Ko-fi! Rabbit Hole is a project made…

- Rabbit Hole 1.0.1 + Major Announcments! - 4 March 2024
Hello Everyone! This update is very small for it's purpose is to remove some unused assets, nothing too grand. I would like to take the time to say, thank you all for 8k downloads! This means a lot to Shortcake and Moai as this reception is absolutley incredible! I would first like to start off by saying, Hi, I am Engie, a member of Moai Music and the co-writer for the story and books! I helped Shortcake publish Rabbit Hole onto Steam! I will be keeping in touch and giving updates about the game and about Shortcake whenever possible! Speaking of Shortcake, he is the creator of Rabbit Hole and single handedly coded and developed everything into the game! With that being said, Shortcake is going to go on a small break to take some rest and continue with school work as Rabbit Hole had played a massive role in his day to day life through these 3 years of development and he deserves a short…
