About Nova-Nivalis

Nova-Nivalis is the narrative world behind OnlyBun.

Onlybun? it is a living anthology where games, music, images, and developer notes converge.

It’s the “city of vignettes,” a place where memory, grief, and hope are explored through playable stories like Please Take Care of My Rabbit and future entries in the Vignettes of the Soulless saga.

What Is Nova-Nivalis?

  • Nova-Nivalis is both a world and a mirror. Within its bounds, the User (you) arrives with wounds seen and unseen — and recovers their sense of self by engaging the fragments they once created or encountered: cases, letters, sketches, songs, and conversations from past lives and stories. Every vignette you touch comes to life; until then, it’s soulless—just pixels and text.

Why the Rabbit?

  • The rabbit is a thread across lives, innocence, witness, guide. It links a picnic memory to a house of grief, and finally, to a small shop where care is ordinary and sacred.

Sections

  • Feed: Instagram-style posts from characters and creators. Think of it as diegetic social media—voices from the world, not outside it.
  • Blog / Dev Notes: Transparent build notes, design decisions, and research breadcrumbs that chart how ideas become play.
  • Pages: Curated essays, guides, and long-form context (including this page). Use the “On this page” sidebar to jump between sections.

One Last Thought

  • Everything here is a vignette until you read it, hear it, play it. When you do, it becomes part of you—and you become part of Nova-Nivalis.
