The Freak Circus "Where obsession becomes a performance, and escape is never an option." - Day 1: You cross paths with Pierrot, a silent, melancholic clown who immediately becomes fixated on you. He stalks you home, and you later encounter Harlequin, his charismatic and manipulative rival, who also sets his sights on you. The two clash over you, revealing their dangerous competition. ​- Day 2: Pierrot kidnaps you to a secluded room in the circus, claiming to "protect" you, and gives you a red ticket for safe passage after dark. New characters like Jester, Doctor, and Ticket Taker are introduced, and you learn the "Legend of Columbina"—a lore thread hinting at the circus's ancient origins. You also discover that the town's disappearances are linked to the circus, which preys on emotionally vulnerable people. - Pierrot: A former royal court entertainer and poet who joined the circus 200 years ago after unrequited love left him heartbroken. His tears hold magical properties as fragments of his original human emotions. - Harlequin: One of the founding performers, whose true name and past are only revealed in the secret ending. He uses charm to manipulate, viewing you as a prize to outdo Pierrot.
