The Freak Circus
About The Freak Circus
The Freak Circus is a bilingual (English and Portuguese) indie visual novel crafted with original artwork and atmospheric soundscapes that plunge players into a surreal, spine-chilling circus. You play as a café worker who becomes the center of a twisted love triangle after an encounter with Pierrot, a silent, obsessive performer, and Harlequin, his seductive rival. Their obsession turns into a macabre competition—one where your fate hangs by a thread.
The current version of the game offers one bad ending and three open endings, hinting at deeper routes that are under development. With eerie narrative pacing and intense emotional depth, this game is a must-play for fans of yandere-themed stories, dark romance, and psychological horror.
