Strange Tales of Hanuda is a collection of five side-stories that act as a prologue to the events that occur in Siren.
They were written by Naoko Sato, in charge of scenario and background on the game, and published in full both on the official site and in Siren Maniacs. Only the third chapter is published in the Siren Official Perfect Guide. Each story features a different protagonist, generally following the events leading up to and aftermath of the 1976 landslide in Hanuda Village, filling in backstory that was left out of the game.
