Protagonists

    Skye 

Skye

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bunny_skye.png

A young bunny who lost her eye in a traumatizing incident that she seems to have forgotten about. She lives with her mother, and twin brother Claudio, in Carrot Town.


    The Cursor 

The Cursor

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bunny_cursor.png

A mysterious white glove whose origins and intentions are unknown.


  • Featureless Protagonist: It's not clear who you are meant to be. You are trapped in front of your computer covered in cobwebs. You cannot walk away from or power down the machine. You can only see Skye's and Claudio's vitals as an indicator they might still be alive. Playing the "Bunny Garden" game pulls you into its virtual world as a Themed Cursor. If anything happens to the Cursor, you die too.
  • Fed to the Beast: As part of a cruel game, Gardener Skye tries to have you devoured in the lake to various piranhas and some kind of monstrous creature. She fails and explodes with rage.
  • Haunted Technology: In a similar vein to Pony Island, you, the player, are trapped by an unknown demonic entity in front of an old PC and can only move your glove (the cursor) around.
  • Helping Hands: Temporarily; the Cursor helps out at Skye's Lovely Garden along with the Handy Pals at the beginning of Chapter 1 before they meet Boxers and is recruited by him to assist in the Handy Pals' escape effort.
  • Lying to Protect Your Feelings: They don't want to see any harm come to Ben, especially not after seeing his father get brutally killed by Silvie's creations. When asked if they saw Nelson, they can choose to lie and aren't upset by it. Or they can tell the frog boy the Awful Truth, which causes the Cursor to feel remorseful as Ben runs off crying.
  • Stamina Meter: You can move much quicker by making a short burst of speed, but this tires you out in no time if you spam it, leaving you unable to sprint again until the meter completely refills. The monsters will catch you if you rely solely on running, and you need to hide whenever possible to evade detection or escape.
  • Themed Cursor: A unique example where the cursor itself that the player controls is treated as their own character by other characters in the game.

Supporting Characters

    Boxers 

Boxers

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bunny_boxers.png

A pretty chill dude. Although his past is traumatizing, he's very optimistic and friendly. He and the Handy Pals founded a fighting club and created the hideout inside the well.


  • Abusive Parents: His mother Silvie is heavily implied to have been one to her son Boxers. She starts verbally abusing him after revealing herself when he can't handle her cruelty and domineering ways. Determined to escape, Boxers refuses to reconcile with her at the end of Chapter 1, and disowns her.
  • Brown Bag Mask: Boxers, the rabbit who hides down under the well, wears one over his head but does a poor job of hiding the fact that he's a rabbit.
  • Calling Parents by Their Name: Boxers calls his mother by her name at the end of Chapter 1, before jumping into the void to escape Silvie's grasp.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: He's the son of Silvie, who is some kind of eldritch shadow demon of unknown origin and age that resembles a rabbit. Boxers is also a monster, but kind-hearted and longs for a normal happy life.
  • Defector from Decadence: Boxers is a demon bunny who only wants to be surrounded by family and friends. Refusing to join his mother in her cruel games, he opts to escape Silvie's garden by joining Cursor falling through the Labyrinth Portal.
  • Fight Clubbing: He runs a fight club under the well that any Handy Pals are able to join. The hideout also happens to where he and the Handy Pals devise a plan to get through the labyrinth and escape the garden.
  • Hide Your Otherness: He's ashamed of his true form in being related to Silvie, and just wants freedom from her.
  • Hyper-Awareness: Boxers will immediately spot you're not a normal Handy Pal, but in fact a Themed Cursor. He then wonders if Skye has run out of garden gloves (as she keeps murdering her own creations).
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: The sensitive shy rabbit is a sweetheart who tries to make the Hideout as accommodating and as comfortable as possible for the Handy Pals. Even adorably making a room full of pillows for the Helping Hands to sleep over.
  • Outcast Refuge: He created the whole hideout underneath the Happy Garden for the Handy Pals and he, to hide and hang out together, away from Silvie.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: It's clear that Boxers is a rabbit from the fact his disguise...does not cover his ears. Subverted; it's to hide the fact that he is a rabbit demon, not a normal rabbit, and to help the Handy Pals feel more comfortable.
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: Silvie goes on another rant where everyone who enters the Labyrinth must be "disciplined," declaring that the rebelling Handy Pals would still be alive had they obeyed her rules. Boxers is having none of it and calls her out on her merciless cruelty.

    Number 8 

Number 8

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bunny_handypals.png

The most popular member of the Handy Pals, rumor has it... he's big into boxing.


  • Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: Number 8 can't resist the temptation to wander off to the Labyrinth even as Skye warns them ad nauseam not to or suffer the consequences.
  • Fingore: They are ripped to shreds by Silvie for repeatedly disobeying her in sneaking out at night to explore the Labyrinth.
  • Helping Hands: The first character you encounter in the Garden is Number 8, one of Skye's Handy Pals who help her with the flowers and built her home. You later discover all these Helping Hands are really the creations of the demonic Silvie. They have enough free-will to be lazy, hide and play with Boxers, or venture to the Labyrinth. If they press Silvie's Berserk Button in breaking her rules, they are mercilessly killed, or if really unlucky, have their corpses transformed into Mutated Handy Pals for their twisted maker's amusement in hunting down and killing all over again.
  • Killed Off for Real: Destroyed without a trace of body. The Cursor doesn't learn of their fate until coming across their ring in Silvie's house. As they never parted it with, presenting the ring to Boxers confirms they're long gone.
  • Oh, Crap!: They realize too little too late that there was an actual threat behind Silvie's repeated warnings, as their creator mercilessly tears them apart and stamps them out of existence.
  • Sacrificial Lamb: The first character seen dying in the game, courtesy of Silvie mauling him to death.
  • Tempting Fate: Number 8 really should've realized the gig was up when Gardener Skye confronted them over their repeated disappearances when supposed to be working at the Garden. Instead, they immediately opt to sneak off to the Labyrinth once everyone else is asleep, oblivious to their creator waiting outside ready to ambush them.
  • You Are Number 6: Silvie created so many of the Helping Hands minions she didn't bother to name any of them. Instead, painting numbers on their backs.

    Nelson 

Nelson

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bunny_nelson.png

This frog-like creature is a very calm guy, if you don't bother him, that is. He does everything in his power to be a caring father, he loves hunting and fishing, but is always very skeptical about everything.


  • The Cake Is a Lie: Silvie (disguised as Skye) challenges Nelson and the Cursor to a game where the Cursor must survive underwater against piranhas and a giant fish in the lake. If the Cursor lives, she will take Nelson to see Ben, his son who Silvie has taken hostage. If the Cursor dies, Nelson will be killed along with them. "Skye" had no intention of following through and kills Nelson anyways by siccing a giant fish on him.
  • False Friend: Nelson always had a Gut Feeling about Silvie's eldritch nature and thus never considered her a true friend. Likewise, the bunny demon can't stand him, as she gets visibly angrier the closer the frog gets to winning their Fishing Minigame. Losing the game to him is finally enough to trigger a Villainous Breakdown with deadly consequences. This paranoid hatred doesn't quite extend to his son Ben, however.
  • Fed to the Beast: The fake Skye summons a monstrous fish to devour Nelson. It's subverted when the Cursor finds the frog's home littered with bloody bandages. Outside, Nelson's severed head being eaten by a mutated Handy Pal, indicating that he survived the fish that attacked him and the Cursor at the lake, only to get slain by another of Silvie's demonic creations.
  • Fishing Minigame: You play one with Nelson where you go up against Skye and her two helpers in a challenge to catch the most fish. When a round is completed, the two teams head deeper into the lake where it becomes more challenging. The demonic rabbit later takes sadistic pleasure in tormenting Nelson with the knowledge that she has his son, forcing the frog to play a cruel game with life-or-death stakes for both Nelson and the Cursor.
  • Frog Men: He and his son are a species of frog-like people who live out in the remote woods alone. He has many brothers and sisters, but it's been a long time since they had a family reunion. His nearest neighbor is Skye and her Handy Pals.
  • Good Parents: Although he's a quiet man, he loves his son very much, and won't allow the Cursor to go snooping around his room in his absence. It makes it all the more tragic when the protagonist learns of their untimely demise.
  • Gut Feeling: The frog man always knew something was off about Skye. He just couldn't put his finger on it. This later becomes a fatal error of judgement for him when he trusts Skye's words that Ben will be home soon, and they should go fishing in the meantime. The fact that Skye was completely nonchalant about having a shotgun shoved in her face moments before, should've raised many red flags inside his head.
  • Misplaced Retribution: As Silvie has a Villainous Breakdown she has become so paranoid she honestly thinks Nelson was the one who ordered his son to assassinate her in the woods. Poor Nelson wouldn't have a clue, as Ben being desperate to prove himself, failed to tell him about his whereabouts.
  • Off with His Head!: Poor, poor Nelson gets decapitated by one of the mutated Handy Pals that Silvie has created.
  • One Last Field Trip: In a very dark example, Silvie wants Nelson to go fishing with her, for "old time's sake". She begins upping the stakes until revealing she's imprisoned his son, and forces him to keep playing for his boy's freedom. Poor Nelson didn't know the demon had no intentions of letting either of them escape.
  • Papa Wolf: His Establishing Character Moment has him hold Skye at gunpoint and demand to know where his missing son is, suspecting her of being responsible for Ben's disappearance.
  • Sacrificial Lamb: He dies in the same chapter he's introduced in, when Silvie summons a gigantic fish to devour him whole.
  • The Stoic: A reserved frog of few words and fewer emotions. Gardener Skye does manage to elicit a fearful expression from him when she taunts him she has his son held captive.
  • Undignified Death: All the Cursor finds of him is his dismembered head out in the woods, being eaten by a Mutated Handy Pal.

    Ben 

Ben

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bunny_ben.png

A frog-like kid who loves hunting with his dad, he usually goes out of his way to explore the woods, and he constantly wants to prove himself to his dad, though this always ends up backfiring.


  • All for Nothing: He cannot save the Handy Pals from Silvie, and even if he saves his own life, his rash actions have brought down the bunny demon's wrath upon his father. There's tragically nobody waiting for him at home. And Silvie will find out he's escaped her clutches.
  • Distressed Dude: Ben fails to kill Silvie, but instead of being butchered, is taken captive and thrown into her house's basement.
  • Frog Men: He and his father are a species of frog-like people who live out in the remote woods, their nearest neighbors being Skye and her Handy Pals.
  • Leeroy Jenkins: When Ben sees Gardener Skye murdering Number 8, he takes matters into his own hands without telling his father. He grabs his shotgun but fails to kill the beast in an ambush. Taken prisoner, and aware of her true Eldritch Abombination nature, he stupidly considers trying to bash her head in with a mere crowbar when the Cursor presents it. The Cursor wisely gets the boy to understand it'll help them escape through the basement air vents instead.
  • Morality Pet: Skye likes him, because he was warm and friendly to her when she first moved in and built her Lovely Garden. She gave him her camera as a present. After he sees a glimpse of her true form, Silvie takes Ben prisoner, instead of killing him. This may also be because, the demon's feeling familial issues after her own son ran away, and wants Ben to fill that void somehow. This "affection" is immediately nullified, if the Ax-Crazy bunny catches him trying to escape her home, and kills him on the spot.
  • Morton's Fork: After the Cursor saves Ben, the player can choose whether to tell him the truth about their father. If they lie, Ben befriends them fully and runs back home happily. If they tell the truth, Ben tearfully runs away, regretting trying to help the Handy Pals. It only got his father pointlessly murdered by Silvie. The choice you make has no bearing on the ending of Chapter 1.
  • Oh, Crap!: Is visibly frightened by the sight of Silvie's ominous glowing eyes as he tries to sneak past her piano playing undetected.
  • Player Character: Aside from the Cursor, Ben is the only NPC you can control in a Stealth-Based Mission to escape "Skye" as she plays on her piano.
  • Uncertain Doom: Whether he knows his father is dead, or not, is irrelevant to the fact he's now got a Yandere eldritch demon bunny after him for escaping. Even if he knew that and tried to escape to his relatives who live far away, Silvie's mutated Handy Pals are roaming the woods looking for anyone to devour.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bunny_silvie.png
Click here to see Gardener Skye. 

A psychopath bunny with supernatural abilities, the reason for all of her murders are unknown. Why did she pretend to be Skye, and is she really all that bad?


  • Abusive Parents: Silvie is heavily implied to have been one to her son Boxers in the past. He is not happy to see her again at the climax of Chapter 1. Boxers makes it clear he's not there to reconcile with her, instead longing for a life away from her puppeteering ways and insane cruelty. Silvie, unable to understand her own child's fear, begins verbally abusing him after revealing herself, calling him "weak" and "pathetic."
  • Animalistic Abomination: A supernatural creature of unknown origin that resembles a rabbit, and has a strange name listed in the credits (S1L-V13) that implies she may be artificial.
  • Ax-Crazy: Her method of "discipline" is savage and brutal murder, and the slightest hint of disobedience earns most a gruesome death at her hands.
  • Bad Black Barf: While wearing her Skye disguise, Silvie vomits up some kind of black substance due to the strain it causes her.
  • Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: She attacks and kills Number 10, a mutated Handy Pal that was on the verge of finding the Cursor, unwittingly saving them in her murderous rampage.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: It's subtle but if you gather all the clues, you'll notice Silvie likes Ben. While she hates his father, the boy was warm and friendly to her when she first moved in and built her Lovely Garden. She gave him her camera as a present. Even when he stupidly tries to gun her down for killing the Handy Pals, Silvie takes Ben prisoner, instead of killing him. This may also be because, the demon's feeling familial issues after her own son Boxers, ran away, and wants Ben to fill that void somehow. Her "affection" has its limits though, if the Ax-Crazy demon catches him trying to escape her home, she'll instantly kill him.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: When disguised at Skye, she initially appears as a sweet endearing gardener who needs your help in her friendly wholesome plot of land, but things take a sinister turn. She's some kind of demonic being that behaves like a Yandere to keep all the Handy Pals (and you) in her garden forever.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: Completely averted. Whatever Silvie's actual species is, they clearly aren't Always Chaotic Evil or otherwise alien - Boxers is her son, and he's a genuinely sweet kid who's terrified of her abuse and is actually trying to help the Handy Pals.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Defied when fishing with Nelson. She nearly addressed the white glove as "Cursor" by accident, indicating that she's aware they're all in a virtual world.
  • But Thou Must!: Refusing to live and work with Skye will have Silvie glitch the screen out (a brief flash of her true demonic self appears) and force the player to agree.
  • The Cake Is a Lie: Gardener Skye challenges Nelson and the Cursor to a game where the Cursor must survive underwater against piranhas and a giant fish in the lake. Her terms are plain: If the Cursor lives, she will take Nelson to see Ben, his son who Silvie has taken hostage. If the Cursor dies, Nelson will be killed along with them. But the cruel truth is she had no intention of following through and kills Nelson anyways by siccing a giant monstrous fish on him for beating her.
  • Cheshire Cat Grin: In her true form, Silvie is nearly always sporting a Slasher Smile as she murders those who defy her. The only exception to this, is when her son Boxers is about to enter the void in an escape bid. She looks on with sudden seriousness at the situation as she tries to reason with him.
  • Child Hater: She views her own child, and Ben, as both "pathetic."
  • Control Freak: Skye's Lovely Garden is an idyllic paradise where all the Handy Pals work and play every day, but are absolutely forbidden to ever leave once they're brought here. Those that break the rules will suffer the consequences.
  • Dark Is Evil: Silvie is a rabbit-like figure covered in shadow who sadistically and brutally murders anyone who disobeys her. By contrast, her son is friendly and laid-back, and only seeks to find a way out of his mother's garden.
  • Disowned Parent: Her own son Boxers is terrified of her, and runs away, creating the Hideout as a temporary means of escaping her domineering abusive ways.
  • Dissonant Serenity: She is completely unfazed when Nelson pulls out his shotgun on her. Considering that she was able to shrug off a point-blank shotgun blast from Ben shortly after her murder of Number 8, she is justified in her fearlessness.
  • The Dreaded: The first time when posing as Skye she blows her whistle to wake up the Handy Pals sleeping in the cabin, all of them can be seen visibly trembling. Considering that she's a maniacal Serial Killer, and the fact that blowing her whistle outright kills ten of them by making them explode later on, they have every right to be afraid. Even the Mutated Handy Pals, though feral monsters, try to avoid her. This extends to Boxers when Silvie finally discards the disguise and reveals herself, her own son covering his eyes as his psychopathic mother gives him a "The Reason You Suck" Speech.
  • Drunk with Power: Silvie is obsessed with everyone obeying her rules, but she herself is above them, and will go back on her own word as with Nelson beating her fairly in a fishing game. She refuses to release Ben, and murders Nelson. As an Eldritch Abomination that can One-Hit Kill the cast of characters, no one can hold her to task. Little wonder her own son Boxers is terrified of her.
  • Enraged by Idiocy: Repeatedly failing to do your gardening chores has Gardener Skye get disappointed with you, before she wanders off to do something "more productive." When you finally complete the task (after at least four failures) she's relieved you're done. You'll notice a tiny speck on her lip. When you later see how monstrous she is as she often vomits up minions to kill those who enrage her - "Skye" was slowly getting angry with you.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: While being a Ax-Crazy demon who murders without remorse, there are subtle signs Silvie loves her son Boxers, or at least as much as an eldritch monster is capable of. She's willing to repeatedly ignore him breaking the rules, when doing so instantly earns all other transgressors a gruesome death. Silvie tries (and fails) to talk her child out of going through the portal at the climax of Chapter one.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Silvie acts and behaves like a Psychopathic Womanchild at best to everyone around her, and a feral monster at worst. She understands nothing about forgiveness or loyalty. Only bringing death and despair to Nelson and Ben, showing no mercy to the frog family. Even her son whom she bends her rules for, she's a cruel and abusive mother. Silvie cannot understand why Boxers tries to save the Handy Pals in vain, is terrified of her, and longs for freedom.
  • Evil Matriarch: She's the true otherworldly antagonist of Chapter 1 and has been impersonating Skye for a long time. Silvie is the mother of Boxers, and creator of the Handy Pals, and by extension, their mutated vicious counterparts as well.
  • Evil Versus Oblivion: It's currently an Ambiguous Situation but Gardener Skye makes it painfully transparent to Number 8 that if they get past the Labyrinth, it will mess up everything they know and love in her garden, threatening all the Handy Pals.
  • Eyes Do Not Belong There: Disembodied eyeballs follow the Cursor glove underwater and through the void in the finale. All those flowers the Handy Pals and you have been planting on Day One? They are Silvie's eyes, and why she's nearly always one-step ahead of everyone's plan to escape - she sees everything.
  • Fantastic Racism: The rabbit regards the Frogs and Handy Pals, as inferior, less-intelligent species, compared to her.
  • Genuine Human Hide: Heavily implied in the climax of Chapter 1 that Silvie has at some undetermined point murdered poor little Skye and is now wearing her skin and fur to impersonate her, though the end of the chapter muddles things by showing another Skye, who could either be the real one or another counterpart entirely. Though this evil disguise brings Shapeshifter Baggage with it, as she convulses, vomits demonic blood and passes out from the stress. Silvie in her true eldritch form is unhindered and has no limitations. Worth noting, when Cursor finds the real Skye, her fur is a rosier color than Silvie's disguise, implying its her demonic powers alone that stop the skin from decaying.
  • Hair-Raising Hare: In her true eldritch form, and when she lets the facade slip while posing as Skye.
  • Hates Being Alone: Played for Horror, as Silvie grows threatening rather than upset, but it's clear from her possessiveness of her son and the Handy Pals that she is terrified of being abandoned.
  • Healing Factor: At the very least, her "Gardener Skye" skinsuit has one. Silvie is able to withstand a shotgun blast from Ben, and the skin around her eyes has completely reformed by the time Ben and the Cursor escape her house.
  • Hero Killer: So far, she has killed Number 8, a Handy Pal who was working with Boxers to formulate an escape plan from her garden, and Nelson, a protective father who wanted to save his missing son.
  • Immune to Bullets: When Ben sees Gardener Skye's true evil nature, he opts to take matters into his own hands without telling his father Nelson beforehand. He blows her face off point-blank with his shotgun, but the malevolent entity quickly regenerates as if nothing happened and takes the young frog prisoner.
  • Impersonation-Exclusive Character: When Silvie reveals herself as having impersonated Skye throughout Chapter 1 and discards her disguise, it seems as though the demon murdered Skye and wore her skin to conceal her true identity. It's an Ambiguous Situation because at the very end of the chapter, the Cursor falls into Carrot Town, where the real Skye opens her door to greet the player.
  • Imposter Forgot One Detail: It's unclear why Silvie is impersonating Skye, and they overlooked one important detail - the bunny girl is blind in her right eye. If she was masquerading as her in front of anyone who knew her from Carrot Town, she would expose herself as a fraud immediately.
  • Killer Rabbit: Silvie, with Glowing Eyes of Doom, lets the Skye disguise slip to tear Number 8 apart for defying her and seeking to escape the Lovely Garden. Likewise the player themselves discovers this in the game's demo where she swallows the player whole if they mess with the Haunted Technology to spell out the passcode for "death".
  • Maniac Tongue: When filled with murderous intent, her tongue hangs out, adding to her unsettling true form's appearance.
  • Monster Progenitor: She is responsible for both creating the Handy Pals and mutating them into twisted monsters that seek the Cursor out.
  • Nightmare Face: Whether in her disguise as Skye or her true form, she pulls some truly psychotic evil grins at those about to fall prey to her machinations.
  • Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Neither Silvie nor Boxers has a genuine Southern Belle accent that Gardener Skye does; when enraged, part of Silvie breaking character is dropping all elements of it and she never makes a single phonetic pronunciation once in her true form.
  • Sadist: She seems to take great pleasure in dangling Ben's life over Nelson's head, and enjoys savagely murdering the Handy Pals who defy her.
  • Sanity Slippage: "Skye" becomes increasingly disheveled and unhinged as the Handy Pals and Boxers openly defy her during the three days spent in the garden.
  • Scare Chord: The segment where the Cursor and Ben have to sneak past Gardener Skye has her play the piano in a dark room, where the player must periodically hide in shadows before Silvie slams down on her piano as they scurry to the exit.
  • Serial Killer: She was murdering Handy Pals that attempted to enter and traverse the labyrinth even before the Cursor arrived. Over the course of Chapter 1 alone, Silvie, as Gardener Skye, murders several Handy Pals (among them Number 8 and Number 10) and Nelson. She claims ten more victims at once when she blows her whistle at the end of the chapter, causing the Handy Pals around Boxers and the Cursor to explode into giblets, thus qualifying her as a Spree Killer as well. The heads of the opponents the Cursor fought against earlier in Boxers's fighting competition (Handle Banks, Hand Sight, and Fingertaker) also appear in the labyrinth, suggesting that they too may have been victims of the Killer Rabbit.
  • The Sociopath: As her son summed it up best - Silvie's a cold-blooded killer. She enjoys the hunt too much to be someone who genuinely doesn't want to be left alone, but rather, an unearthly predator who doesn't want her prey escaping.
  • Soft-Spoken Sadist: When not making inhuman snarls while attacking, her true voice once she sheds the Skye disguise is an eerily creepy whisper, even as she laughs when hunting you down.
  • Sore Loser: When Nelson and the Cursor beat her fairly in three rounds of fishing, she's visibly angry, then breaks down into uncontrollable psychotic rage, screaming that Nelson, a good father to his son, always thinks "he's better than her". The rabbit summons beasts from the lake's depths to kill Nelson.
  • Southern Belle: Invoked; as Skye, she speaks with a rural Southern United States dialect, which she drops when enraged or out of disguise. It's not clear if the real Skye has this verbal tic.
  • Stalker without a Crush: Nelson's family reunion photo shows a silhouette of rabbit ears in the background. As Nelson commented, she showed up from out of nowhere one day. It's clear Silvie was stalking him, and she seemed to be intensely jealous of the frog's happy life, as her only family member, Boxers, had abandoned her when she began killing the Handy Pals.
  • Stepford Smiler: Gardener Skye sports a friendly smile and seemingly enjoys keeping her Handy Pals under control as a Benevolent Boss, but it's all a facade. She's void and dispassionate when she hasn't anyone new to manage, and becomes something far more terrifying as her true self is revealed.
  • Sugary Malice: She begins to ooze this on the second day. Her idea of jokes and playing around, are outright cruel to her targets, the Handy Pals, such as frightening them awake after blowing on her whistle loudly.
  • Take That!: At the beginning of the game, Gardener Skye laments that people nowadays only want to sit indoors watching TV all day long, never going outside to garden.
  • Villainous Breakdown: After losing the fishing game, she freaks out and starts ranting at the top of her lungs, even though Nelson beat her fair and square. "Skye" proceeds to murder him. Then, when ambushing Boxers, the Cursor, and the Handy Pals at the labyrinth entrance, she goes on another rant where everyone who enters the labyrinth must be "disciplined" and that they could've just lived their normal lives had they obeyed her rules. Boxers has none of it and throws it right back at her face.
  • You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Repeatedly failing Gardener Skye's Action Commands in the garden will have her despair getting the chores done may "take a long time" and Thank the Maker when you do finally complete your given tasks.
  • You Will Be Spared: Considering she intends to murder Nelson, it's unclear why she wants to keep his son captive, apart from jealousy at their simple family life. Gathering all the clues implicits she enjoyed Ben's company. That said, Silvie will slay poor Ben if he gets caught trying to escape.

    Mutated Handy Pals 

Mutated Handy Pals

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bunny_mutatedhandypals.png

These hands suffer from some kind of mutation, they tend to eat anything that gets in their way, but for some reason they seem to fear Silvie. There are three of these in the woods, #10, #11 and #12.


  • Ambiguous Situation: It's not clear what caused these Handy Pals to become so monstrous and feral. They could be experiments on their makers part, or the consequence for one of the Helping Hands going through the Labyrinth.
  • Helping Hands: Formerly. You later come across several monstrous Mutated Handy Pals in the Woods that serves as the first enemy. The Cursor cannot fight them, and must either run or hide. Their creator takes great pleasure in hunting down and killing them.
  • Stealth-Based Game: When you encounter Number 11 and 12 out in the woods, you've brought a lamp with you to navigate the darkness, but you need to hide from these roaming monsters whenever possible as both can One-Hit Kill you.
  • Stern Chase: Number 10 chases you through the woods in a Run or Die sequence of the game. Cursor falls off a cliff and can't keep going any further. Just when it looks like they're doomed, Silvie attacks and tears apart the monstrous creature, unknowingly saving the player.
