《 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

Warning: This game is intended for ages 18+. The yandere theme includes dark elements, strong language, and sensitive graphic content.

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.

Is chapter two out yet? google says it is, but when I finish day two, it tells me to stay tuned, so I'm unsure if I'm missing something!

Amo este juego con toda mi alma y definitivamente estaré apoyando todo lo relacionado a éste.  Neko, amo mucho el trabajo que hiciste!!! espero podamos ver más de este juego y otras obras a futuro.

Is this a Female Mc or can we choose?

(+12)

the creator is probably still taking their time to polish off the script. Anyway, they want to give us the best and as the saying goes great things take great time.

i completly agree but do you know when the day 2 came out ?

i feel like it was so long ago already

Joguei várias vezes pra ver todos os Ester eggs ksksksks , nunca tinha jogado jogo de escolhas , e esse é ótimo , é incrível , o design incrível e a história cheia de mistérios 

(+2)(-3)

hey, i have a theory..that we are columbina..( idk this is so freak oml )

(+4)

Colombina died she talks to you in the mirror and shows you the scene where she DIED 

On tumblr it has been confirmed that mc has no relation to columbina!

(+1)

We aren't colombina but you can get a easter egg by entering your name as colombin

(1 edit) (+1)

Nah on the Q&A the author said that we're two different persons and Pierrot knows that we're not Columbina he just loves us the way we are 

(+2)

I love pierrot sm..

Hola soy nueva acá pero debo decir que este juego me encantó y me enamore más de estos demonios payasos y me gusto el drama y suspenso, pero bueno también quise dejar una pregunta para harlequin y pierrot la cual es si ellos 2 cambian de cuerpo como reaccionarian al verso en cuerpo del otro y que harían?

Las preguntas para los personajes solo son contestadas si eres miembro del paetron del creador, pero curiosamente alguien pregunto algo similar a pierrot XD checate el tumbler del creador

La verdad buenisimo, hace dias me venian saltando recomendaciones del juego, y vine a descargarlo con una espectativa q el juego supero por mucho, la verdad no había visto un juego así de fantástico, bien diseñado con personalidad, ambiente y estructura tan vivida, única y detallada, es un 100 de 10, totalmente recomendado, ando hablándole a mis conocidos para q se lo descarguen porque es una maravilla audiovisual esta historia. Estoy esperando ansiosa la nueva actualización y ver como conseguir cada final (más q nada el poliamoroso) y si llegan a haber más actualizaciones de los demás personajes sere la primera en probarlo, muchas gracias neko por esta joya <3💗 💎

I love this game and the story in the game; I have been trying to find this game for a well now and so glad I did. Can't wait for the full game!!!!!

(+2)

um dos melhores jogos que eu já joguei em toda a minha vida! Vou esperar as atualizações!

For anyone having trouble with MacOS. 

Same thing here. If you have a Mac, go to System Settings> Privacy and Security (I think) > scroll to the bottom of the page and look for the name of the game, then click "Install anyway". I bet you get the poop up that reads "Can't verify if free of malware" right? Try this, after downloading the game and trying to open it.

Ugh I wish we could get an ending for each member!! The doctor and jester just look so scrumptious!!!

(+2)(-2)

(+1)

I don’t think so it doesn’t say that
