Story
Erina’s humdrum life as a regular rabbit is turned upside-down when she finds herself in an unknown world and turned into a human!

These unwitting heroes embark together on their quest to restore Erina’s life to normalcy, but who knows what troubles lurk, waiting for them…
What’s New in Rabi-Ribi Platinum Edition
The main difference between all console releases of Rabi-Ribi versus the Steam version is the lack of DLC made available for the console releases. Rabi-Ribi Platinum Edition includes all these DLC, thus making it the definitive, complete Rabi-Ribi collection. The new content will include the following:
- Rabi-Ribi – Digital Artbook – Not just any ordinary artbook, alongside illustrations, promotional artwork, rough sketches and even a customizable character viewer, the Digital Artbook contains a selection of boss fights and game modes that didn’t make it to the final release of the game.
- Cocoa Mode & Before Next Adventure – The last major content DLC released on Steam, Cocoa Mode allows you to play in speedrun mode as the catgirl, Cocoa! Enjoy an entirely new playthrough of Rabi-Ribi with Cocoa who utilizes an assortment of gadgets to fight her enemies even including tricks that Cocoa didn’t have before when she was just a boss. Before Next Adventure includes new costumes for Erina and Ribbon, new story CGs as well as a number of new special bosses to test your skills against.
- Orchestra Music Mode & Costume Skin – Enjoy Rabi-Ribi like never before with an optional orchestrated music arrangement, performed by the Taipei Philharmonic Orchestra. Also includes an orchestral costume skin for both Erina and Ribbon.
- Tevi x Rabi-Ribi Collab Costume Skin – A new costume skin for Erina and Ribbon based off of CreSpirit’s newest release, Tevi!
