This stealth game consists of the single player controlling a small, non-agressive rabbit who uses cunning and wits to escape the predators that roam the valley. The idea is based off the animated film 'Watership Down' where a clan of hares are forced to flea their home after a vision reflects their impending doom. The introduction of the film has an intense, fast paced segment in a seemingly tribal art style, this is the art style I would like for the game as the awkward proportions provide accurate visual reflection of the dangerous situations, and the consistently present feeling of tension and suspense.

The player must dig burrows to escape the valley and reach a new environment beyond, that is safe from predators such as wolves, bears, and owls. If the player is caught, they instantly die as they have no extra lives, or any chance of fighting back against these predators. The burrows take time to dig and may be dug in preparation for a daring escape so the player may move between burrow to burrow before the actual predators arrive. Predators may arrive on random however, but a lot come out at night (similar to the minecraft mechanic of allowing the player to build shelter in the day, and retreat in the night when creatures come)
