Rabbit Doubt

Rabbit Doubt is an online multiplayer game that has several players take the role of "Rabbits". One player is given the role of "The Wolf", who is hidden among the Rabbits. The Rabbit players must identify the wolf before the wolf kills them off. The hypnotist Esper Rei Hazama twisted the themes of the game and utilized it to cause several murders.

The Game
While the origins of the game are currently unknown, it is known that it was popular with high school students who could play it on their flip phone. The game connects six or more players to a server and random chooses one person to become the Wolf. Then each player takes control over a cartoon-like rabbit avatar and take turns proving their innocents by evidence or lies. The players then decide who will be killed in order to kill the Wolf. Should the players choose correctly, the game will end in their victory. Should the players choose incorrectly, the wolf will remain active. The game then continues this cycle until the wolf is either caught or the only remaining player.

Aesthetically, the game employs adorable designs of the rabbit avatars that are often dismembered or hung following the Wolf or players choices. The common appearance of the hung rabbit has been theorized to be a warning. A warning to the lying wolf, or to the distrustful players.

The Murders
The Esper known as Rei Hazama utilized the themeing of punishing liars by either introducing a murderer created by her hand or causing strife between the victims. Hazama begins this process by choosing her "Wolf," a person who has been hypnotized by Hazama in the past to completely follow her orders. She then waits for the person to experience extreme loss, so that her hypnotism can be activated without resistance. Utilizing future prodding, she then creates triggers for her Wolf to be put into a murderous frenzy, such as a certain series of tones followed by the key phrase "For the Ones I love".

Hazama then selects her "Rabbits" or victims. She does this by selecting individuals from the player database of Rabbit Doubt who have questionable backgrounds. This ranges from simple lying to outright murder, all of which is sparsely hidden in the location of the game. This is to help sow distrust amongst the victims that could eventually lead to them killing each other without much involvement of the wolf.

Trivia
Rabbit Doubt originated from the manga called "Doubt".
