The Freak Circus

The Freak Circus complete walkthrough

The current public build covers two in-game days. Here is every scene, every choice that actually has consequences, and every point worth saving at — with nothing added that is not in the game.

Day 3

Creator confirmed

Not released, so there is no walkthrough to write. It is officially confirmed to be in development, with no date announced. We track what is and is not confirmed on the Day 3 page.

Three things to know before you start

Only one choice can kill you

The Day 1 street scene. Not helping Pierrot takes you into the only finished ending in the game, and it is a bad one. Every other choice only changes which scenes you see.

There is no route lock

The current build has no visible affection stat and no mutually exclusive routes. One playthrough can see almost everything.

Day 2 has no ending

The build simply stops. That is not a bug and not a secret you failed to unlock — the story continues in Day 3.
