Edna and Harvey: The Breakout – a point-and-click adventure game from Daedalic Entertainment (Germany). The publisher in Russia was "GFI / Руссобит-М". The release took place in December 2008 on PC, and on iOS/iPad in August 2012.

The game’s plot tells the story of Edna, a mentally ill girl who suddenly realizes that she has ended up in a genuine insane asylum. Naturally, she does not consider herself to be sick, instead viewing her confinement as a mistake or a malicious intent. Edna has a friend named Harvey – a blue talking rabbit that the heroine carries with her everywhere. Harvey has quite a bad temper and constantly makes jokes, which at times smell of dark humor. Nevertheless, the rabbit provides invaluable assistance to Edna – not only does he offer important hints, but he also helps her recall certain episodes from her past life. Unfortunately, Harvey is merely a product of Edna's sick imagination – he cannot walk, let alone speak. In general, it's typical schizophrenia.

Realizing that she has no business in the mental hospital, Edna begins to devise an escape plan. First, she breaks out of her cell for particularly violent patients (deceiving a couple of guards along the way), and then she starts to travel through the floors of the insane asylum. On her journey, she encounters various characters with whom she can interact and converse. Most of them have some kind of mental disorder, although Edna also has to communicate with more or less normal people. At one point, the heroine manages to escape from the hated establishment for brain correction, grabbing a few new friends along the way. Her main goal is the house where she used to live – reaching her old walls, she hopes to remember the reasons for her admission to the psychiatric hospital. But her little house turns out to be abandoned, and Edna's fate hangs in the balance.

The heroine has an extensive inventory where she can store various items. Her toolkit includes: an eye (Edna can examine items and comment on their purpose), a gear (the heroine interacts with items), a hand (allows her to take items into the inventory), and a dialogue bubble (available when talking to various characters). In certain chapters, the player can switch between Edna and Harvey when, for instance, the heroine finds herself in a confined space from which only little Harvey can escape.
