《 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.

Es un juego tan precioso como su historia, lo adoro mucho<3
Hi! I'm just here to say that I love your game, the rutes and the characters<3 However, when I saw The Doctor I instantly thought that he deserved a rute, so if you make a rute for The Doctor I'd appreciate it! I really like him and I'm sure other people likes him! 🫶
HUGE MASSACRE
not going to lie at first I thought this was a horror game but then I played it and god damn the characters are fine… I simp or all the characters but Pierrot is so close to being first on my list but harlequin is first I’m sorry lol but I love this game so much the characters are all so lickable!!!😝😝😝❤️❤️❤️
Hi Neko, thx you for your hard work i hope you're doing great :) I'll be waiting for the next update!!
I can't wait for day 3, but take your time, I've heard from TikTok that some people have been spreading hate because they don't like the route for both Harlequin and Pierrot, don't listen to them ok? I really don't want another awesome game to stop getting updated because of hate, so I wanted to remind to the creator that there are people like me who would adore that route, so don't listen to the haters
PS: I don't want to pressure anything but if you could make a route for Jester it would be awesome, if not its fine! (sorry for bad english it isn't my mother language)
You know sometimes i hate how people hate stuff but thats life like school my ex friend she keeps saying bad stuff about me and like i really dont care if she wants me to know she is talking about me which she does in my classes if she wants to piss me off then piss me off but no one will believe her lies
I really want Carol to be romancable man…
I CANT WAIT ANYMORE WHERE IS THE DAY 3??????
Is day three out yet, i'm asking due to see clip's on YouTube and other platforms.
Whenever I get stuck in an interaction with another character, and they start getting too close, I always wish for Pierrot to come n save me. I love him sm he makes me feel safe❤️
I doodled Pierrot while in class, I love him sm
(It’s rlly messy :/ )

I figure that, while we wait for the next chapters (please author, take the time you need and don't overwork yourself, we can wait) it's a good time to be creative :)
Are there any spaces where we can post written work inspired by this game (with the proper disclaimers, the link to the game's official page and the author's Patreon page, of course) and exchange with other fans?
Thank you very much (It's been a long time since I've been part of a fandom)
