The most frequently asked questions!
Neko, do I need to read the comics and follow the asks?
No, that’s just extra content for those who want to understand more about the lore behind this world. All important and relevant information will be in the game.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Why is MC being human important?
Let me show you the meaning behind it. You’re in the middle of the jungle, and suddenly you’re surrounded by wolves. What would surprise you more being saved by another human, your own kind, or one of the wolves turning against the pack to protect you? That’s the context I want you to understand.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Did Harlequin and Pierrot propose marriage when they bit MC?
No. Right now, they’re competing for you in a game of flirtation. Those bites are not proposals. I mentioned there’s context, and that the mark would leave a scar and MC has no scar!
It’s like when a friend gives you a ring that doesn’t mean you’re married, right?
Marriage and courtship among monsters are different, and MC should definitely be aware of what’s being proposed. So relax! For now, they’re just teasing each other and lightly trying to mark you.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Black tent and pink tent
I can’t answer anything about those topics! That’s something you need to explore in the game and interpret for yourselves.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
What happens when the circus leaves? And Carol? And the fools?
All of that will also be explored in the game, so there’s nothing I can answer about it right now.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Why does the game only have English voice acting?
I don’t know any Brazilian or Chinese voice actors, and adding voice acting is new to me. I never planned for the game to have it, but @darthsuki’s performance really convinced me it would add more emotion!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
How many endings will the game have?
I’m planning multiple endings, but I can’t give a number right now. I might change my mind, so I prefer not to set expectations yet.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
What does the “poly route” mean?
It means MC will fall in love with Pierrot and Harlequin at the same time. The rest is up to your interpretation. Just like Jester’s tent, I won’t say too much about certain parts of the game so you can form your own interpretations that’s all!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Will Pierrot abandon MC?
Where did that come from? A lot of people asked me this, so I’ll be very direct:
NO. There is nothing that would make Pierrot abandon MC. Never.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Are MC and Columbina the same person/reincarnation/descendants?
No. MC has no connection to Columbina.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Does Pierrot still love Columbina?
No, Pierrot has grown up and matured a lot since then, he no longer thinks of Columbina that way.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
What do the circus members/monsters find attractive in humans?
You know when you come across a group of cats on the street, and you recognize that they’re all cats, but you’re unable to distinguish their gender or other traits that define them individually? That’s how they see humans. They learn to recognize patterns to tell them apart, like “most females have long hair, but not all,” or “most males have beards and more body hair, but not all.”
Appearance isn’t exactly what attracts them, but other factors… maybe I’ll talk about that soon.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
What if I don't want anything romantic with the characters?
The protagonist's route won't involve romance, but you can still choose whether or not to form friendships with them.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Why are some answers no longer canon?
I’ve mentioned before that while I was still writing the full script, I might change my mind over time.
Many asks made before I wrote Day 2 may not be very helpful anymore. Thanks to the @iwasbibliomaniac masterlist, I’ve started reviewing them and already removed some that no longer made sense to keep. Now I have a more solid foundation for the script, and I only answer questions that align with what’s already structured in it.
