I love the fact that if you pay attention the the windows in the café on day 0 you can see Pierrot it it gives off creepy horror feeling but I love it. Also it took me until after I made the video and edited it to realize that the Karen in the café on the 1st day was in fact the "assistant" knew that the person died but I did not put two and two together until after the effect. Did realize that he might of been the "cat" that attacked our boss though.
I have to say, the backstory of the monsters is so interesting! I hope we get to know more about the rest of the circus members and their "sacrifice", I also really loved Pierrot´s yandere behavior, %100 creepy and terrifying to think how manipulative he can be to fit into our ideal type just to devour us (literally or not, maybe both who knows) Anyway I´m just here to say I love the game and I´ll wait for the full game
SO PEAK. enjoyable, interesting and js peak. There are some comma or grammar/pronouns (I think it was "her" instead of "you" once) occasionally but its alright to overlook it. very fun game with many CGs regardless! Please keep working on it! I like the "details", like how the MC can be interpreted as the sacrificial angel. Im curious about the other clows too! ^^
esse foi definitivamente o melhor jogo que joguei recentemente, gostei que finalmente algum jogo assim tenha em português tem uma proposta tão diferente e interessante, é realmente fascinante, agora morrerei de ansiedade até a versão completa, mas até lá eu espero 🥲💗
This was a pretty fun visual novel, and im not sure if you want to do this or not [or maybe you have diff ideas for the angel] but it would be cool if you made a secret route for her, the angel as an li with some good/bad endings. Would give a nice twist in however way you carry it out in.
Just a delight! I was fascinated by the game from the very first minutes!
This is one of those rare games that completely captured my heart. I had a lot of fun playing this game and I would love to recommend this game to all my friends! I would really like to ask you not to stop, I look forward to continuing as soon as possible!
i know what you are!!!!! My new wallpaper 👅👅👅 MAN IS HE FINE LIKE HOLY SMOKES I NEED THAT MINE ACTUALLY BEGGING (JOKES unless....??) LETS BE HONEST HE TRULY IS GIVING THAT OUTFIT, I love everything from the little bits of lore cause woah! so there's more clowns.😘😘😘 Still I feel like pierrot will end up just hurting us 💔💔💔 please let my pookie mookie not eat us
Interesting. I love the character designs and the story so far... but I think I want the backstory, how they admired the main character, why they became the monsters they became. I wasn't so happy with one thing first: - the fact she worked in a cafe (it's been done too many times) but otherwise? great job! keep going and I see potential in this!
Thank you! I haven’t seen that many stories set in a café, but I really love the atmosphere, and I wanted to draw the desserts heh! So it was a lot of fun for me!
I’m kind of working on that right now, and it’s a bit tricky for someone new like me, but I’m hopeful I’ll have that part updated by the end of the month
Oh, thank goodness! Someone made a visual novel about clowns. I've been waiting so long for this concept to be brought to life that I started to think I'd do it myself with what little coding skills I have, so truly thank you for this unique work of art!
I love MC's personality. She's sweet, kind, and so humane that it's totally understandable why she can attract monsters. And all these small details, such as Pierrot stalking her during her work shift, the window of her room being unexplainably open while she doesn't notice it was closed (and I almost didn't either), the little animations of Pierrot's magic trick or the knife throwing, even the details on the save slots screen... Chef's kiss.
You handled the mystery really well; I continue to wonder who's that unknown man who gives MC a pink ticket (is he a monster searching for a good "sacrifice" in town, I wonder...?) or the other freaks of the circus (and that Ticket taker, is he someone important, I wonder too...?). There is so much lore incorporated in such a short amount of time. You have great talent for pacing!
Also, the effects of the music were so good that they gave me chills.
Then of course there are the two main clowns, whose quirks and personalities are so distinct, you don't need to see their name to know who's speaking. In fact, I love that weird manner of speech they have... They almost sound old-fashioned, as if they've been alive for a very long time... I have high hopes for their endings! (secretly cheering for their rivalry...)
I belong to the people who will support you till the end!
Thank you so much! It’s really kind of you to point out all those little details you noticed. It always makes me happy to hear what emotions they sparked and what you thought about them. I love seeing theories and suspicions pop up around specific scenes too! I’ll keep doing my best for the continuation!
Thanks to you too! It's always a pleasure when the creator responds to comments.
Also, there might be a small thing off in the narration. Perhaps someone else has already pointed out that scene in MC's workplace, where the lights suddenly turn off, she freaks out, and Pierrot shows up next. If MC asks him to leave, she later bumps into him upon leaving as well, and he gives her his red ticket. He never speaks a word or tells her what his name is, yet she somehow knows it the next day. Maybe you could add the dialogue they have inside her workplace (when he tells her his name and that he can't speak in public) outside, right after MC bumps into him.
I NEED MORE, im legit so inlove please continue this. I love the rivarly so much and the circus theme over all, I dont know whats wrong with me but i wanna fuh them so bad AHHHH Looking forward for this game, sending love you got this! :3
I have never felt so called out by a game in such a positive fashion before, yandere clowns? yes please, but omg, Pierrot is so dang adorable, like, I love Harlequin, but Pierrot just gives me serious cuteness aggression, I just adore the man, and I cannot wait until the game is completed, I'll be following the development closely 😊
Also, I'm not sure if it's hinting at something or not, but in the scene where Pierrot is on the ground being harassed by the guy, there is a line going through the middle of his face that's not there anywhere else, is that possibly a guide line for when drawing him? Or is it intentional? I've been thinking about it for hours, and it had me wondering if it meant something 🤔
Funny you noticed that line, it was part of an older design, meant to show a bit of the mask’s shape, but I ended up dropping the idea and forgot to take it out of that scene. Actually, I just realized there are a few other details on Pierrot’s outfit in that scene that I forgot to fix too. You’ve got a sharp eye!
The moment I saw this game page I knew I had to play it... and I was not disappointed.
Loved playing The Freak Circus so much. The designs and art here are absolutely gorgeous, these are the kind of character designs I'd buy art prints of because of how they tread that line between creepy and beautiful. And the story already has me gripped, I can see so many things being set up that makes me eager to learn more about the circus and the characters.
Also this is the first time playing one of these games where I honestly don't know which character I like more. There was more time spent with Pierrot in this demo and if he was on his own he'd be my favourite no questions asked; everything from his expressions to his dialogue (some of his lines are just WOW) made him absolutely incredible. But Harlequin was also fascinating, I'm so curious to spend more time with him and see how his route progresses. At this point I honestly think I want both of them together (because apparently one yandere clown is not enough for me... I feel so called out by this game).
Really glad I played this, will definitely be watching out for future updates.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It always makes me happy to know the game sparked such warm, positive reactions. And it’s pretty rare for someone to say something about Harlequin! I’ll do my best in the continuation!
Sinceramente me a encantado tanto el diseño de Pierrot como la pequeña historia que nos a contado en la demo, con ganas de hacerle muchos fanarts a Pierrot mientras espero al dia dos <3

здравствуйте, подскажите пол протагониста
In this demo, the MC is a woman, but in the future, you'll be able to choose the pronouns.
is there like a estimated date? im testing out shi in itch and this game looked interesting, but its annoying for people to call me "lady"
I’m kind of working on that right now, and it’s a bit tricky for someone new like me, but I’m hopeful I’ll have that part updated by the end of the month
жаль, играю только в романтику с главной героиней женщиной
