Trapped - part 1 - the white rabbit

The white rabbit is the first episode of this adventure series cerated by the brazilian Rodrigo Roesler. It avoids the cliches of the escape the room games and revisits the good old adventure games. As the author says, he did not want people clicking blindly everywhere. All the problems and solutions are visible, even if they are not too logical (pear seeds with steroids?).

A great game to restart the daily posts (hopefully).
