There are four incidents. The first was five college students and a highschooler, rabbits frolicking around a forest clearing. The second was the investigators that sought them, sly foxes sticking their noses where they didn't belong. Then the hunters came, struggling with all their might, a pair of wolves struck down. A cat accompanied them all. Does a cat have nine lives? Let's find out together, little butterfly.
What kind of person runs around the woods in an executioner's outfit setting up traps and killing people? That is who I am.
Prey. All of you. This is the natural order: I am the hunter, and you are the hunted. Struggle. Squirm. Fight with all your might.
The first killings were investigated by the police after the sole witness, Callie, testified to the bodies she had seen and the chase she had engaged in. The police never found anything, though, and repeatedly referred to it as a missing persons incident. Callie was discredited at every turn by the public, but the families of those that died never blamed her and believed every word she said.
The second killings would never have happened if Callie hadn't insisted on finding something the police didn't. She brought others into a domain she knew was dangerous. Nothing is more dangerous than a cornered predator. They were killed because they had to die.
With the ideal of turning the hunter into the hunted, two mercenaries are led into the woods by Callie. Callie is still seeking answers, and the mercenaries are aware of this. They die because they have to. They die because the killer doesn't want to.
The fourth incident is the most dangerous for Callie. Practically alone in the woods, alone with a killer who is tired of being disturbed, a killer who has already been witnessed as much as it wanted to be. There are multiple ways to skin a cat.
The killer is an adept hunter and can kill other characters, as well as place traps in predetermined locations. It is possible to hide from it, but it will search for you if it only recently lost you during a chase.
