《 The Freak Circus 》
Of horrors
The Circus of Horrors has arrived in town.
Uncover its secrets and face the terror it hides, all while being led by Pierrot, the silent yandere, or Harlequin, his seductive rival.
Don’t be fooled by their smiles, they’re not what they seem.
You work at a café, and one day, on your way to work, fate leads you to cross paths with Pierrot. That’s when his obsession begins. But he’s not alone, his stage rival decides to join the game, turning this twisted dance into a dangerous competition… all for you

For now, the game has all character introductions done. The rest is still being developed.

《Official Note 》
Hello! You can call me Neko Bueno.
I'd like to clarify that this is the only official page for the game. The only other official sources are my social media accounts, listed below.
Please do not reupload or repost the game on other websites or platforms.
This can be really harmful to indie creators, and I kindly ask for your understanding!
One exception: I’ve given copiklaGrogu permission to translate the game into Chinese, so it’s perfectly fine to check it out there as well!
And please, feel free to create fanart, fanfics, and gameplays!
I truly love seeing every single one of them. I only ask that you credit the official page (e.g. link to this page on description) when sharing.
Thank you so much for all your support!
Enjoy the show
I will continue working on the next part soon.

I really loved the art style of the game the characters are absolutely beautiful!!! The voice acting in some lines was also really amazing. The story's wilddd I love it. Pierrot is my favorite character :3 This game is SO well made, I’m really looking forward to the continuation. Thanks to the author!>:333
when does the next story come out?! IM DESPARATE TO SEE HUZZ AGAIN >:D
guys i love pierrot saurrrrr much... i need him in taba squishy form 🥹
"GUARDS!! SEIZE THE PIERROT AND PUT HIM UNDER THE HYDRAULIC PRESS!!!" i yell with love and fondness in my heart /j
also... when does Boss become romanceable 😩😩 NEED dat so bad bruh
I love this game and thanks for the author made this great game
peak game, bro :p
no monthly update??
When is Day 3 coming out?!?!?!??!?!??!?!
siento que seria totalmente mi estilo pero el juego no esta en español :( en el futuro tienen pensado traducir el juego a español ?
This is the BEST VN game i've played. There's so much material too!! PLAY THIS GAME ITS WORTH IT!! The story is amazing, its well fleshed out and alludes to more. AND THE CHARACTER DESIGN!? The hidden scenes are cool so far, however a problem i've come up with in the downloaded version is that if you keep doing the same thing the "Hidden scene unlocked!" keeps popping up even if you already got that one. But I think this game is my new hyperfixation lol. Go follow the Bluesky and tumblr!! Worth it <33
Can we ever be able to romance jester?
probably not
Game is great, but just to tell you there's people asking for the day 3
I love them all bro...
I am from Russia, and I would like to ask a question first, and then praise.How many hidden scenes are there in the game and how to get them? Author, my thanks to you for such deep and sweet characters, I'm waiting for the continuation with a translator in my hands)
two hidden scenes! one you get by pressing 'come closer' in ticket taker's tent of mirrors, and the other is to do with jester! i believe it's attained by watching his show, but i could be wrong. i hope this helps!
in translated russian (Переведено с русского):
Две скрытые сцены! Одна открывается нажатием кнопки «подойдите ближе» в палатке контролера с зеркалами, а другая связана с шутом! Я думаю, она появляется после просмотра его представления, но могу ошибаться. Надеюсь, это поможет!
Thanks for the information, it's a pity that there aren't many of them, but I'm looking forward to adding more secrets )
Adorei o jogo e me impressiona a qualidade da arte.
Só uma ideia, mas eu gostaria se existisse um servidor no discord...
Enfim, ótimo trabalho ^^
I absolutely have already come to adore the game since seeing contents of it appearing to my FYP and haven't stopped obsessing over it! Each scene and character's design were really great! Although I kind of do hope that the "Point and click" feature gets used more, like maybe an item you can actually collect in a certain scene. Maybe that's just me though, I still love everything as is and love every character in it (yes that goes for Carol and boss too)!
I CANNOT WAIT to play through more chapters. The story line is so interesting and I cannot wait to see where you take it, and if you ever thought to make jester and doctor romancable, I'd be so incredibly down!
omg i made an account on here just to tell you that i absofuckinglutely need more of this, i love all of the characters so far and i find pierrot so adorableee. i honestly don't really have any complaints but I'd like it if the female mc could look more like a girl. anyways i hope you have a fantastic fucking day. 🥹🥹
jeje like
Love the game so much, just wish the mc actually looked more fem when chosing she/her option as it looks quite manly in game and breaks the immersion for me. Other than that the game is perfect, love the voice acting, the design, Pierrot is absolutely amazing, all the characters are attractive and I hope we can have a harem ending with all of them (greedy i know hehe). Thank you
Hmm what a casual and soothing game.
Everytime Im at the scene where I should pick a tent and purple and pink arent working so I habe to pick the green one, the website breaks down TvT WHAT SHOULD I DO?!
you can’t access them lol
when is the next uptade I NEED IT

Do we have any updates on the game yet? How long has it been since day 2 released?
Day 2 released in late November/early December (about 4 months ago). The last chapter will probably be increased complexity, so it might be a while but it'll be worth it :)
oh day 2 is out the day 3 'll come out at apirl or may
