Tiny Bunny’s story takes place in the late 1990s, approximately 1998–1999. According to unofficial sources and fan analysis, this period is most consistent with the pop culture elements referenced in the game itself. For example, with the TV series “Streets of Broken Lights,” which became popular in early 1998, as well as with the music and technology of the time. This timeframe is not explicitly stated in the game, but is implied by indirect references.
The developers initially considered January 1998 as the tentative year for the story’s action in the project’s early plans, but in the final version, the explicit reference to a specific calendar year was removed to make the setting more conventional and universal. Thus, the game retains the feel of the late 20th century without pinning down a precise date, leaving it to the player’s interpretation.
Visually and atmospherically, this is expressed in detail: the snowy taiga, the technological contexts of the time, elements of media and pop culture that can be heard or seen in the story. All this creates a sense of the late 1990s .
Bottom Line: Tiny Bunny doesn’t specify a specific year, but based on references within the story and the developers’ initial plans, it’s safe to say that the game takes place in 1998-1999.
