How Not a Hero put you on the mayoral campaign of a … time-traveling alien bunny

Running for major doesn’t usually involve a lot of shooting.

But gunplay is the main thrust of BunnyLord’s campaign for mayor in Roll 7’s retro-minded, cover-based shooter Not a Hero. Killing crime, to use the time-traveling purple rabbit’s own phrase, is BunnyLord’s final attempt at saving the world from total annihilation. The character, and his odd diction, dominate the story of Not a Hero, and while the gaming industry can boast a lot of repetitive hero designs, time-hopping lupines aren’t among them. I had an email chat with Roll 7 creative John Ribbins to figure out exactly where this out of time rabbit came from, and which came first, the hyper-bloody shooter, or the mayoral candidate with the randomly generated vocabulary.
