《 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.

This is such an interesting novel! I love all the characters especially Pierrot! It has such a great way of describing stuff and the cgs are all incredibly made! All the characters are memorable for their unique personalities, which made me hope for an ending for atleast all members of the circus... Still! It's such a great read from what we've seen!

hehehhehe i love thiss :333

I really enjoyed this! Love the charecters and for once in my life I can catually name and recognize all the charecters involved! That is a really great compliment becouse I forget almost every name, including people that I have known for over 6 years now. The charecter desings are amazing and Pierrot... We do not talk about him- Okay nevermind he is adorable! I am SO qurious about what the doctor thinks! Like- What does he know? What is he not telling us? AAAH! I am SO exited for the next chapter! All love to you Neko Bueno and thank you all so much for the voice acting! Also, for anybody wondering, they are not nalways talking, just wanted to put it out there, I was confused the first time I played.

Hello, first of all I really enjoyed playing this game, especially while in class (a million thanks for making it browser playable..) and can’t wait for the update  and how the story develops haha. Also I don’t know if you read the comments but I was trying to find a way to contact you, because I have some questions ^^ I’m not too well acquainted with tumblr or bluesky and it seems I can’t dm you there so I was wondering if you could tell me how else would I be able to do so ^__^””

Well, this game made me think. Look, I probably should have expected what I got, considering the design and the track record of visual novels. It’s actually pretty well-made visually in some scenes and some designs are nice. Still, I thought it was tacky.

I love this soo much, TwT

MEU DEUSS AMEII! QUERO O DIA 3 LOGO!

Neko bueno your game is FANTASTIC. The story and the characters have so much potential already. Im literally checking for updates nonstop.  I keep playing the same scenes over and over again. Cant  wait to see the finished product. Hopefully we will have more than two romantic choices or maybe more plot twists. I really really really look forward to updates. It wouldnt be bad to have this game on app store too. GOOD JOB, Take your time with the updates if they gonna be just as good or better than the current version xoxo :

OH just to add too the voice acting lord have mercy, DIVINE. It would be nice to have more scenes with the voice, I would say in the most impacting dialogues. pretty much like before but more often...That gets the game even more intense 

(1 edit)

PIERROT IS SUCH A CUTIE. <3 <3 I love this visual novel sm, can't wait for the next update !!

It's one of the best games I've ever played. I don't consider myself someone who plays yandere-type games, but this one is simply incredible. It combines suspense, obsession, curiosity, and so much more. I can't wait for the next update!!

So ... Won't there be an ending so we can choose or get togheter with the jester? T_T
