Once his dreams of resurrecting an ancient kingdom are realised, nobody will be spared his benevolence.

Assorted Facts: Bunny Hill is a real place in Staffordshire, England and the outside backgrounds were photographed there. The interior background and castle shots were taken on a day trip to Tamworth Castle. Bunny Hill Castle was one of Stoke-on-Trent's leading attractions on Google Maps for several months until someone spoilt the fun and told them that it doesn't really exist. The characters are all Deviant Art stock models with the exception of Dave who is played by the game's writer Dominic O'Reilly Several of the items are real-life props, including the Father Ted referencing "Dreamy Sleepy Nightie Snoozy Snooze" Although the itch.io version is 13+, an uncut 18+ version of this game exists on Gamejolt and Newgrounds. Bunny Hill Horror appeared in the itch.io Black Lives Matter bundle (2020) which raised over $8,000,000.
