tales from bunny man is one of the biggest glow ups in fangame history


Sup, fellow fnaf enjoyers! Welcome to another review today. We're talking about Tales of the Bunnyman, a fangame made by ZeriqR and Dr Cross. The game was in development for around 2 years and came out to extremely positive reception.

And now we're gonna talk about it to see if it's actually good or not. Let's uh get this show on the road. God, I fucking suck at intros.

__________________________________________________________
Before we do anything, let's talk about the lore in the game. WE play as one of the dads that lost his daughter during the Missing Children incident at Freddy's, so we're here to bring her back safety.

Anyway, you know how it works. It's menu time!

untitled.png

it cool me like

We hit New Game and get text, "oooooh, it used to be a place of joy, and kids used to come or whatever." Also, Bonnie, stop staring you fucking idiot. That's Freddy's job.

untitled.png

Our main character promises to bring his daughter back, which uh... yeah, sure. Buddy. Sure.

untitled.png

Something extremely cool and unique to this game is that instead of having phone calls, you use comic panels to learn how the animatronics work.

untitled.png

this episode only bonnie and foxy are active

bonnies_his_name.png
finally_theres_foxy.png

Also, can I just say how good these designs are? These are some of my favorite fnaf designs I've ever seen. I love them

Here are the comics for Bon and Fax.

before i talk about the mechanics let's talk about our office

untitled.png

We have our cameras and a picture of a random dude on the table. We have this big ass box, which we can go to with a honkable Freddy mask.

untitled.png

Pretty nice stuff. Now let's talk about how the animatronics act. Let's start with Bonnie. Bonnie comes off the stage and roams around the place till he reaches the door to your right. He makes a sound cue every time he goes there.

untitled.png

Simply close the door by pressing ctrl after around 3 seconds. Then, he'll leave.

Now, Foxy. Whenever he'll leave Pirate's Cove, he might either go to a random cam, and you have to refresh.

untitled.png

Or he'll run down the right hallway. If he does, you'll have to hide in the box. Sadly, I couldn't get him to ever run at me, so yeah, that sucks.

Also, we get this absolute peak of a 6 AM screen.

untitled.png

I love this thing so much. I want people to make bootleg merch of it.

Now we get into my favorite part of the game: the daytime sections. These take place before the mci. This one's on September 29th.

The scene starts out with Susie and Jeremy talking to each other, then the others show up.

untitled.png

Say hi to the Freddy Maggots (Jeremy, Susie, Fritz, Gabriel, and Cassidy/Mike/Andrew) if you read the books. Jeremy's a huge nerd. Fritz is really into Foxy. Gabriel just sorta exists. Susie's the nice girl, and Cassidy's kind of a jerk.

After a little argument, everyone decides to play hide and seek, and Jeremy becomes the seeker. We gotta find our friends. You can move around the entirety of Freddy's, but if you go to Pirate Cove, you might see someone familiar....

untitled.png

we go to the right hallway and meet the biggest scum bag ever vincent

untitled.png

There's a lot you can do in these sections, but I'm not gonna spoil all of it. Play it on your own. We find all our friends and watch Freddy and the band perform the show.

untitled.png

jeremy talks about bonnie being cool and wanting to be picked up

untitled.png

He hears someone whistling and decides to go look where it's coming. He thinks it's the janitor, but oh no! It's the evil bunny man and then he kills Jeremy and turns him into a furry.

untitled.png

episode 2 time

smile_like_jeff_the_killer.png

this night chicas active

because_shes_a_bird_who_likes_to_eat.png

another banger design

here's her comic

mendo_you_bitch.png

She works exactly the same way as Bonnie. She'll make a sound, go to the door, and close it.

untitled.png

That's really it. Day 2 time! This one takes place on October 7th, and everyone's sad since Jeremy's missing.

untitled.png

Fritz asks Susie when's Jeremy coming back, and she says her mom told her he went on a trip, yeah.

To get their mind off things, the maggots decide to go to the arcade. Susie says she wants to see Bonnie first.

untitled.png

we have the option to stare at bonnie and if we do he stares back

untitled.png

after that if we go to the arcade we talk to the one and only steve raglan

untitled.png

We can ask him three questions -- how his day is, where's Foxy, and his favorite thing about the restaurant.

If we ask about his day, William says his days going well but Mike didn't get over the bite of 83.

Susie asks William to talk a bit more about his past, which he agrees.

William was born in 1935 in the UK and then went to the US with his mom and sister, where he met Henry and helped him create.

Susie asks what happened to his sister, which he says she's back in the UK doing farming.

If we ask where Foxy is, he tells us he's in the parts and service room.

He also says that Foxy's original name used to be " Roberto Foxy," then he leaves.

Susie then goes to the arcade. Her friends are mad for just leaving them to wait, but then they start playing Popgoes and the Machinist. I'm not kidding That's canon and I'm all here for it.

Oh hey, look! It's Mr. Immortal psychopath, get the joke lololololol

untitled.png

uhhhhh episode 3

yiff.png

this night the man himself freddy is active

his_names_freddy_and_hes_the_singer_of_the_band.png

here's his comic panel

sparky.png

Just like Foxy, Freddy has two mechanics. His first one is going to the Prize Corner and trying to wake the Puppet, who will come and try to get you.

untitled.png

Just go to the cam and hold "Stop Music."

Oh, and here's what the Puppet looks like.....

bring_me_the_head_of_charlie_emily.png

She looks....how do I say this....extremely stupid. She easily has the worst design out of literally everything I like the green jacket.

Oh, yeah, Freddy's other mechanic.

If you hear loud footsteps and a roar, and something breaking, go to the Breaker Room and hold the light directly in Freddy's face.

untitled.png

Onto Day 3, October 15th

Susie is now missing. Gabriel asks Cassidy and Fritz to draw something, but Fritz wants to see Foxy.

Fritz goes to the Pirate's Cove to see if Foxy's there or not. He isn't, but Foxy starts saying random bullshit,If only Foxy had listened and stopped smoking weed....

untitled.png

fritz decides to check and omg!!!!!!!!!!!! it's the bunnyman!

image-5-bb9s3hhd.png

fritz goes deeper and finds foxy and a piece of paper

untitled.png

After the bite, Fredbear is no more, and Henry needs a new mascot. He comes up with some names: Popgoes the Weasel, Candy/Sugar the Cat, Sparky the Dog and Rosie Porkchop a character from the Fazbear Frights books. Will suggests a clown girl, obviously being Baby, but Henry thinks it's just a jab at Will's sister.

And then, finally, a bear like Fredbear. Two names came to mind: Neddbear from FNAF 6, and Freddy.

Will also suggested a purple bunny, and Henry said it's probably a good idea to let Spring "Bonnie" retire because it would cause confusion if there are two Bonnies. This caused Will to get very angry.

Also, turns out Mike came up with the idea of Foxy and Henry mocks Will for trying to call Foxy Roberto.

A year later, on the notes, Henry is talking about Charlie, Jeremy and Susie going missing and trying his hardest to keep this shitshow of a restaurant safe, even taking Vincent's gun.

After the notes are done, William kills Fritz and I got this epic frame.

untitled.png

episode 4 time haha

lewis_dawkins.png

this night balloon boy is active huh i bet you didn't expect that one

his_textures_kinda_remind_of_the_stupid_buff_guy_from_stuffed_you_know_the_fangame.png

easily one of my favorite depictions of bb here's his comic

bb_eats_wire_and_shits_his_pants.png

The way he works is that whenever you hear something really loud dropping, go to the Breaker Room and find BB. Then you need to hold the light on his stupid face.

fuck_off_dick.png

Time for Day 4, on October 23rd.

Gabriel is determined to go find his friends, but where are they?

untitled.png

Gabriel finds the Puppet and starts talking to her. She does a shitty dance and comes with him.

untitled.png

Eventually, Gabriel and the Puppet get to the office and see William and Mike in there.

untitled.png

Mike still hasn't moved on from the bite. William tries to make him feel better, telling him that it was just an accident and that nothing else will happen. He notices them and Puppet/Charlie picks up Gabriel and hides him in her box.

untitled.png

This fails because William still kills him and we get a fnaf 2 post-night cutscene.

untitled.png

springbonnie gets close to freddy and it ends

it's time for the final episode

tryhardninja.png

on the finally episode the original bear Fredbear is active

untitled.png

another one of my personal favorite designs here's his comic

omg_they_killed_kenny.png

Fredbear can go to the door and try to wake up the Puppet or go to the Breaker Room. You'll deal with him in the same way you deal with the others.

untitled.png

This is a perfect time to talk about my actual thoughts on the game so far.

And it's genuinely really good! It doesn't try to be some stupid, overcomplicated bullshit game like JR's or Post Shift 2, or a generic, soulless fnaf 1 remake with absolutely no passion.

It's just an extremely fun ass game from start to end, with really no big issue ruining it, but enough that it's time for Day 5,October 31st.

Cassidy is the only one left and the only one that has a chance at finding her friends.

untitled.png

on her way cassidy finds her fredbear plush that's moving on it's own somehow

untitled.png

eventually cassidy finds henry and they talk a little

untitled.png

Cassidy asks about the special character Freddy's gonna have, Henry says it's someone she already knows.

Cassidy asks what he means, and Henry makes a reference to "Jaws," the funny shark movie. Cassidy says isn't it offensive after the bite, Henry says it wasn't his idea — it was Will's.

Cassidy asks how Henry's doing, which he says he's been reading a lot and watching movies, and crying..... mostly crying.

Not only did he lose Charlie, but also Sammy, his son from the novel trilogy, because of a divorce. OOF.

The Fredbear Plush leaves again and goes to the Backroom. Cassidy grabs Fredbear for the final time, but oh no — the evil bunnyman shows up!

untitled.png

cassidy gets scared shitless and runs away like her life depends on it and manages to escape from freddy's

on the other hand some nerds are talking about the animatronics about how bonnie is starting to smell funny and stuff yeah time skip YE

for some fucking reason despite literally almost being murdered by a furry cassidy decides to go back to freddys wearing the worlds most shitty ghost costume

untitled-q7htyzec.png

to the surprise of literally no one william ends up catching her and stuffing her into fredbear like the dumbass she is

untitled.png

William says he originally wanted Henry to be Fredbear but he has other plans for him, then he says something about Andrew, a reference to Fazbear Frights.

Cassidy asks about her family, but William tells her her dad is probably gonna forget about her after a few drinks.

Cassidy simply accepts her fate as the yellow nerd, stuck forever.

A cutscene plays where the guy we play as in the night sections gets jumpscared by Fredbear, and he realizes her daughter is in him.

untitled.png

And then the credits roll,BUT that's not all. There's one more night the Epilogue.

The Fredbear Plush Cassidy had starts talking to us about the lore.

Turns out the guy we were playing as the entire time was Vincent, the dick head from Day 1. Cassidy is our daughter after we got jumpscared and died, and were blamed for all the murders.

untitled.png

In 1993, William goes back to Freddy's. It's the perfect time for THEM to bring an end to Mr. Immortal psychopath.

On the final night, four corpses come to life: Phantom Freddy, Phantom Foxy, Phantom Chica, and the Poltergeist.

fritz.png
gabriel.png
susie.png
jeremy.png

I absolutely love these guys, especially Phantom Chica Fun fact: that skull thing on her arm is supposed to be her dog from fnaf 6.

Now, let's talk about how they work. First, Phantom Freddy. He'll make this really disgusting bones breaking noise, and he'll be in front of you. You have to hide until he leaves.

fred.png

The Poltergeist has two ways of attacking. He can either go into your door or the Breaker Room. Deal with him the way you would normally.

untitled.png

Phantom Foxy becomes active when the clock hits 1 AM, He'll make a sound cue search every single cam till you find him and refresh it.

untitled.png

And finally, Phantom Chica! She works the same way as Foxy, but can only appear on the kitchen camera. Just refresh that camera to make her scream in pain.

untitled.png

when the night ends william gets springlocked

untitled.png

instead of crying like a little bitch william just laughs like the immortal psychopath he is he was one with his suit now he would come back he always will

and just like that it's finally over...

final verdict
____________________________________________________
Over all, "Tales of Bunny Man" is an absolutely phenomenal fangame. The fact that Dr. Cross went from Fazscares to this absolute peak of a game is insane. Funnily enough, just like High Roller Full House, my main critique is that the game is too short and it leaves you wanting a shit ton more.

Also, Night 6 was really easy laughably easy. The Cuphead tutorial guy could probably beat it. Still, I can't describe how good this game is. Go download this game and 100% it immediately the team did an amazing job with this

This game is an easy 9/10 in my opinion. Thank you all so much for reading, and I'll see you all in the next review
