Currently, it is the latest playable *Andy's Apple Farm* media.

## Synopsis

*Rabbit Knight* follows the last rookie rabbit named Rory, who must save his kingdom after it is rampaged by violent Mushrooms.

## Transcript

### Opening

*The player is met with a menu screen:*

"**RABBIT KNIGHT**

**PRESS START KEY**

**1986 EASTWOOD GAMES**"

*Upon pressing the "Start Key", a loud noise plays while the screen fades to black. A prologue cutscene plays:*

* "LONG AGO, THERE WAS A KINGDOM RUN BY RABBITS..."

*A castle is shown.*

* "THEY LIVED IN PEACE FOR A LONG TIME."
* "...THEN THE MUSHROOMS ATTACKED."
* "THEY TOOK OVER THE LAND, INFECTING EVERYONE THEY TOUCHED."

*A bloody corpse of a gray Rabbit with Mushrooms sticking out of it is shown.*

* "EVERY GOOD KNIGHT AND WARRIOR THEY HAD WAS KILLED OFF ONE BY ONE."

*Silhouettes of three rabbits fade away.*

* "ONLY ONE RABBIT REMAINED, A ROOKIE RABBIT NAMED 'RORY.'"

*Rory with a sword and shield is shown.*

* "EVEN THOUGH HE WAS HORRIFIED..."

*Rory is shown with a horrified expression. He closes his eyes, switching to a determined expression.*

* "HE KNEW HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD STOP THEM."

### Main Playthrough

*Playing as Rory, the player starts in Stage 1-1 in some sort of cave. They encounter levitating pink orbs, which drop moon-shaped objects that are used as a secondary attack. They then encounter Green Mushrooms, which they kill to progress.*

*Exiting the cave, the player finds mobile Blue Mushrooms, which they also dispatch. Entering another cave reveals an abundance of Green Mushrooms and more Blue Mushrooms. The player exits the cave and finds a couple of buildings, that on approach, have Infected Rabbits jump out of the windows, which attempt to ambush Rory. The player jumps over water and encounters more buildings containing infected rabbits.*

*Continuing further, the player encounters platforms that begin to fall when stepped on above a fissure. More platforms are encountered above water, forcing the player to quickly and carefully hurry over.*

*Entering another cave, the player enters Stage 1-2. They dispatch the abundance of Green Mushrooms and more of the Blue Mushrooms. Going further, the player finds Spores falling from above, turning into a Blue Mushroom when they touch the ground. More Infected Rabbits appear and the player carefully jumps above several pits, before making it to Stage 1-3: the boss.*

*The boss, an Infected Knight, is seen collapsed to the right, before shaking and getting up. The knight attacks by spinning around the room and throwing moons. Spores are also summoned. The player can defeat him by attacking him while he's idle.*

*After defeating the knight, a red orb spawns and floats down to the ground, which the player collects.*

* "**STAGE 1 WON!**"

*However, the text and Rory glitch. The game crashes.*

* "**OH NO! IT LOOKS LIKE AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED. PLEASE PRESS ENTER TO RESTART GAME.**"

*Upon pressing enter, a message appears, reading "DON'T GIVE UP YET. THE TRUTH HAS YET TO BE REVEALED." but the game restarts before it can be read.*

### Secrets

*By looking around more, the player can find several secrets which lead to the game's endings:*

#### Double Jump Secret

*If the player jump attacks the ceiling mushrooms in the second cave in Stage 1-1, they can get out of bounds in a rock above. Rory's sprite starts glitching, being combined with other sprites from the game, before blacking out. An image of a Christmas tree surrounded by presents fades in, while a news report plays:*

* **Reporter**: "I hope you all at home are having a fabulous Christmas. However, last night, Christmas Eve wasn't so great for a family on the outskirts of Pumpkin County."

*A burnt-down house is shown.*

* **Reporter**: "The 7 West Avenue road property caught fire around 1:00 AM Friday morning. The cause of the fire is still unknown. However, the Pumpkin County Sheriff's Department states that the reason may have been a farm Christmas tree too close to an open fireplace. There are suspected of having been two casualties."

*Kamryn and Arthur's portraits are shown.*

* **Reporter**: "However, no bodies have been found as of yet."

*The portraits distort and quickly disappear. A car on a road is shown.*

* **Reporter**: "A 13-year-old girl was the only person found at the scene after waving down a family in their car for help. Police arrived on the scene shortly after."

*A portrait of Louis is shown.*

* **Reporter**: "This is right next to the lake where a 10-year-old boy from the same family was presumed dead-"

*The portrait distorts, along with the dialogue.*

* **Reporter**: "-at Lake Keystone just over two months ago--"

*The dialogue glitches and loops as a heavily distorted photo of Louis fills the screen, before disappearing. This secret leads to Peter's Chase.*

#### Falling Platforms Secret

*In the fissure where the falling platforms are, the player finds they can walk through the wall on the left. Rory's sprite glitches before blacking out.*

*Afterward, the player finds themselves in a void with a strange noise playing. Walking to the right, they then find themselves in a hallway with benches along the wall. Eventually, on one of the benches, they come across a girl resembling Isabella, who looks up to her right. The screen blacks out, and a recording for an interview plays:*

* **Officer**: "Can you tell us what happened on Christmas Eve last year?"

*No response.*

* **Officer**: "Isabella, you can talk to me. I know it's hard, but if we're going to solve this case, we will need your help."
* **Isabella**: "The cameras..."
* **Officer**: "The cameras?"
* **Isabella**: "Yeah, me and mama used to set up cameras in the forest."
* **Officer**: "Was the house in view of the cameras?"
* **Isabella**: "No, I don't think so."
* **Officer**: "Then why are you telling me this?"
* **Isabella**: "Find them, they'll show you..."
* **Officer**: "Show us what?"

*Isabella doesn't respond.*

* **Officer**: "Isabella, show us what?"

*The recording ends. This secret leads to Peter's Chase.*

#### Stage 1-2 Out of Bounds

*At the beginning of Stage 1-2, the player can walk through a part of the ceiling. Going to the middle and jumping causes the game to glitch. A mash of sprites stops the player from progressing. Walking back to the beginning, a message is shown:*

* "Dear Susan and my daughter Summer, As you know, after my brother's death, we took in his daughter Isabella as our own. I know she may seem quiet and reserved, but you should try to open up to her, I know she may seem a little odd, but I think Isabella and Summer could become great sisters. Try talking to her a bit more, okay? She's been through a lot. She could use a little bit of support from you two. - Love, Jeffery." *[sic]*

#### Deathless Run Secret

*If the player makes it to Stage 1-3 without dying, instead of the boss, they find themselves playing as Isabella in a bedroom. Unsettling music is playing.*

*Interacting with the bed:*

* **Isabella**: "Just my bed, and some movie posters."

*Interacting with any of the windows:*

* **Isabella**: "It's cold outside, even during a summer night."

*Interacting with the TV:*

* **Isabella**: "My television, it's playing a VHS of some Saturday-morning cartoons."

*Upon exiting the bedroom, the music slows down and the screen slightly distorts.*

*Interacting with any of the doors:*

* **Isabella**: "No need to go in here. I don't want to wake anyone."

*Interacting with the bathroom door:*

* **Isabella**: "The bathroom, I don't need to go."

*Continuing through the house, the music becomes slower and the screen is more distorted. Isabella is walking much slower.*

*Interacting with the front door:*

* **Isabella**: "I don't need to go outside, it's cold out there tonight."

*Upon entering the living room, the mutilated corpse of a man is shown, a line of blood leading from his corpse to the window. Isabella falls to her knees.*

* **Isabella**: "What the hell!? ...Uncle Jeff? ...Oh my God."

*The screen goes black.*

* **Isabella**: "Why does this keep happening? Why does everyone I care about die? This is all my fault."

*Afterward, the credits roll.*

#### Double Falling Platform Secret

*In Stage 1-2, there are two oddly stacked falling platforms. If the player stays on them, Rory's sprite glitches before blacking out. A noise is heard while the following appear:*

JEFFREY EASTWOOD
05/14/53 - 08/22/86

*After the image and text fade away, a distorted sprite of a sunflower-like character appears in the top left briefly. This secret leads to Peter's Chase.*

### Peter's Chase

*The player is now in another void, this one showing the game's sprites. After some platforming, an invisible wall sends the player falling, along with another strange noise playing. More enemies appear that are quickly dispatched, and more sprites of the game are shown.*

*After walking quite the distance to the right, the player strangely encounters Peter the Pumpkin, whose face distorts before quickly disappearing. Text that says "RUN ->" appears in the top right. For a split second, Thomas' portrait appears, heavily distorted. The altered "Tag Game" theme from* Chapter 1 *begins playing, sending the player running to the right to evade the amalgamation containing Peter and many eyes.*

*If the player is caught, they are met with a screen with an image of The Entity to the right and ciphered text on the left:*

* **The Entity**: "JEFF YOU DID THIS TO YOURSELF. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TRIED TO INTERFERE. YOU TOOK HER IN, THUS YOU TOOK ME IN. SHE SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED JUST LIKE HER FATHER."

*Suppose the player navigates the glitched stage and dodges Peter. In that case, the player ends up in another void where, upon going to the right, they find a person resembling Isabella in black tentacles. She looks up and then sees something like a tentacle grab Rory.*

* **The Entity**: "SO. VERY. NAIVE. YOU CAN NOT SAVE HER. HER OWN FATHER, YOUR BROTHER COULD NOT PREVENT THIS. WHAT MADE YOU THINK YOU COULD? SHE IS MINE TO CONTROL. JEFF, ALL YOU HAVE DONE IS DRAG YOURSELF INTO A HELL YOU CANNOT ESCAPE FROM."

*A hand grabs Isabella, before cutting to black.*

*The credits roll. However, additional text appears with the thank you message:*

* **The Entity**: "YOU ARE IN MY WORLD NOW JEFF."

### Epilogue

*Fun Faire, the setting of* Chapter 2 *is shown, along with Baylee the Bee. Suddenly, a new character resembling a sunflower materializes, startling Baylee. The character looks around confused, before standing up and looking at Baylee.*

* "**TO BE CONTINUED IN ANDY'S APPLE FARM CHAPTER 2**"

## Trivia

* Isabella being 13 is a continuity error, as she was supposed to be 11.
* There was no second of invincibility in v1.0, resulting in players being juggled by enemies and dying faster. This was added due to feedback.
* There's a possible oversight with the timing of the house fire. The reporter contradicts herself, saying, "I hope you all at home are having a fabulous **Christmas**. However, **last night** [...] around 1:00 AM **Friday** (Christmas Eve) morning".
* Fans theorized the Infected Knight was a representation of Isabella, being latched onto by The Entity.
* Jeffrey is misspelled as "Jeffery" in the Stage 1-2 Out of Bounds Secret.
* *Rabbit Knight* is not ran on the CSMPC.
* Isabella's clothes are discolored in the ending, making her resemble Jeffrey.
