If it's this advanced why do they need a game designer at all? And I'm guessing the characters in this story are NPCs in the game. The mystery power is the game engine running the game and manipulating them for game purposes. Rabbits is them trying to make sense of the reality manipulated by the game.

I thought about what had happened with Easton Paruth and her group. Had they actually retired from the game, or was something else going on? The possibility that we’d just met an infamous player was exciting, but if one of those people really was Murmur, we had no idea which one.

Either the group is Murmur or Murmur is using the group to solve the game.
