The Freak Circus

The Freak Circus 2: is it a sequel or Day 2?

There is no game called The Freak Circus 2. The official release on itch.io is still published as The Freak Circus, and the developer's own devlogs talk about Day 2, Day 3 and updates — not a sequel. If you searched for "The Freak Circus 2" you almost certainly want the Day 2 update, or news about Day 3.

The official cover. There is one title on it, and it does not have a 2.

Why the confusion exists

The confusion is easy to explain. The game's content is divided into in-game days, the second block of content was called Day 2, and "Freak Circus 2" is simply how people type that into a search box. It does not help that several sites present a "sequel" as though it were a separate release.

The official release is still titled The Freak Circus
