Rabbits is a mystery pseudo-documentary podcast. Published by Pacific Northwest Stories, it is part of their series of podcasts set in the same fictional universe (such as The Black Tapes and Tanis) which, despite being works of fiction, are presented as legitimate true stories both within the podcast and outside of it; the podcast has no credited writers or performers, as the events and characters are framed as real.
The show revolves around a mysterious, dangerous unnamed alternate reality game nicknamed "Rabbits". The first season follows protagonist Carly Parker, who stumbles upon the game while investigating the disappearance of her friend Yumiko. The second season follows a new character, Riley Bennet, who also comes to investigate the game. A main feature of Rabbits is the use of pop culture references, especially to classic video games like Defender and Space Ace.
A second season was announced and its funding was attempted on Kickstarter; while it did not reach its goal, the season was still published on Stitcher Premium.[1] A three episode spin-off miniseries, The Path was available on Apple in 2021, while a novel written by Miles and also titled Rabbits, a stand-alone story set in the same universe, was released on June 8, 2021.[2] A sequel, The Quiet Room, was published in October 2023.[3]
