A visual novel about horror, obsession, and survival
The Circus of Horrors has arrived in town. Uncover its secrets and face the terror it hides.
You're just a normal café employee. One day, on your way to work, fate leads you to cross paths with Pierrot. And that's when his obsession begins.
But he's not alone. His seductive stage rival, Harlequin, decides to join the game, turning this twisted dance into a dangerous competition... all for you.
Don't be fooled by their smiles; they're not what they seem. Will you be led by the silent yandere Pierrot, or seduced by his cunning rival Harlequin?

Stars of the Stage
Your choice will seal your fate. Which side are you on?
#TeamPierrot
Pierrot
Silent, melancholic, unsettling.
He is an ideal projection, but his non-verbal possessiveness tells a story of obsessive devotion.
He represents a 'safe danger'... or is he?
#TeamHarlequin
Harlequin
Talkative, manipulative, openly dangerous.
He is Pierrot's perfect opposite, an aggressive and charismatic rival.
His seduction is a calculated performance.
