Tiny Bunny: Strange Faces

The first school day after the move has come to an end, and you find yourself standing on the school porch, watching the others scatter toward their homes. Byasha and Roma have headed off to smoke behind the garages; Katya has hurried along the fence as if afraid of being late for dark. You aren't exactly welcome here yet, and it's felt in every sidelong glance.

And then, suddenly, you see her. Right at the entrance to the Old Forest, where the leaning fence is drowning in snow, stands a figure in a red, fluffy coat. The fox mask on her face stares directly at you. In her gaze, there is a challenge—and a strange invitation. Did a tail just twitch behind her? Your heart skips a beat as she beckons you with a finger toward the thicket, where even in the daylight, a twilight gloom reigns.

From a nearby alleyway, the wind carries a fragment of Katya's departing conversation, tossed into the void.

— I heard another kid went missing in the woods. The police are looking for a maniac, yeah, yeah...

It seems like no one noticed her but me...

Tiny Bunny: Strange Faces

Description

A parallel reality that sends shivers down your spine. A village lost in the endless Siberian winter of the 90s. Here, time flows differently: clock hands freeze when the fog descends, and the Old Forest breathes in rhythm with the footsteps of those who dare to stray from the path. The school is an island of anxious normalcy amidst a sea of snowdrifts. It is where Byasha, Roma Pityfanov, Katya, and the girl whom some call Polina—but you may call Alice—attend. Here, missing children are not just ghost stories; they are a ritual of the winter. The police hunt for a "maniac," but the locals know better: the Forest takes what is its own. You are the newcomer, arriving in this hell. You don't know the rules. But one day, after classes, at the edge of the woods, you will see a girl in a fox mask, a red fur coat, and a tail, and your life will crack at the seams, exposing the underside of a reality where the Masters of the Forest dwell. A thick, viscous horror steeped in hopelessness and a strange, aching tenderness. This is a world where shadows have teeth, and the warmth of a human hand can be either your only salvation or your most terrifying curse. Visuals: black-and-white graphics in the mind's eye, broken only by red ribbons on branches and the amber glint of eyes peering from beneath masks. This is a story of choosing between light and dark, but the boundaries are blurred. You will be torn between school intrigues with Byasha and Roma and the alluring whisper of the Forest; between the vulnerable Polina and the predatory Alice. At the center lies the Mask mechanic. The Forest will grant you an animalistic alter ego, and only your decisions will determine whether you become a new Master of the thicket or escape back to a reality where living, yet equally broken, people await you.
