I absolutely LOVED your game, the theme for jesters, pierrots, and harlequins all in one? Absolute dream come true, they’re so underrated!
Got a few small questions, I noticed that when we arrived at the carnival, our perspective said something about there being black tickets. If it’s not a spoiler to answer, what do black tickets do?
As for my second question, upon waking up the first time in the game, our perspective says something about having a strange taste in our mouth..What did Pierrot do while we slept? 🤨
Much love! 🖤 (also..what would happen if I asked Pierrot on a date? I’d love to know his reaction, hehe)
Thank you so much! I find this theme really fun, especially with that dark touch of horror!
About the black tickets: Let's just say that'll be revealed in the future. Though it's funny how so few people have asked about them!
As for that line from the MC, it’s kind of up to you, what do you think happened in that moment? I think it's fun to imagine all the different things that could've gone down, heh.
Pierrot’s expectation is that he has to convince you to look at him, so being invited would really catch him off guard for a moment. He’d need a second to process what just happened before he could even begin to show his excitement!
Is there any official sexuality for them both cause even though i’m a trans man, i loved this game and I especially love perriot ヾ(*>∀＜*)
I'm glad to hear that!
I’ve always imagined them both as pansexual. Pierrot will fall for the player regardless of gender or physical type. drawn to the soul, not the shape.
He falls for who you are!
Compilation/Masterlist of Official Information for The Freak Circus
I don't know if anyone has done this yet, but I wanted to put together a masterlist of the asks answered and posts made by @nekoboydreams regarding their game The Freak Circus!
I organized the posts by whether they had something to do with game development, or if they were related to the lore or characters. I'm planning on continuing to add links as posts are made, so this will be updated frequently! I'm going to organize them better as soon as all the posts are linked, but that may take a little while, so I apologize for the mess. 😅
I decided to do this because, as someone who loves consuming lore and understanding the characters as much as possible before writing them, it's a lot easier to find the posts in this format – I did it for myself, but wanted to share it with the people and do my due diligence. 🫡
There are quite a lot of posts to go through, so this list is not up-to-date quite yet (as of 08/08), but I will continue working on it in my free time! I'm currently up to the first post of June 24th.

Doctor was up late in the night again, not able to sleep again. So he kept himself busy with his experiments.
Then he paused when he heard a noise outside of his tent. Pausing his experiment for now, as he walked to the exit and peeked outside.
He thought maybe it was one of his family members suddenly up and walking around again for some air.
However he listened closely and picked up a sound that was familiar to him...A heart beat...and it was not one of his family members.
His steps were quiet as he followed the sound, his eyes scanning the dark as he moved forward. He slowly started to pick up their scent, his eyes glowing in response.
Once he finally made his way to the location the heart beat was coming from. He noticed someone was trying to sneak into Jester's tent. Which he quickly stopped them with a firm grab of their shoulder.
"It would not be wise to enter there without permission unless you wish for your life to be cut short, my tasty patient."
You turned your head slowly and looked up at Doctor with a forced nervous grin.
"H-Hey! Funny running into you here huh?"
"This is my home. Nothing funny about it. Now let's go back to my tent...I have questions for you."
"R-right uh--"
He looked down at your hand, noticing you holding a sack...It looked to contain stuff.
"...Were you...robbing us?"
"Robbery is such a dirty word. L-let's say I was just...borrowing? For forever maybe?" You grinned more nervously, but his eyes glowed in response. "P-Please don't kill me! Life is hard okay! I thought I could pawn some stuff for money!"
Doctor's eyes slowly eased with their glow and he sighed. "Very well. Explain to me why you are doing this, back in my tent. Now."
He started to drag you away, forcing you to follow.
"O-okay okay! I'm going!"
Though as he moved you away from that location. Glowing purple eyes peered at them from the darkness of Jester's tent.
If the characters could break through the fourth wall and say one thing to the player, what do you think they would say? (ㆁωㆁ)
That would actually be interesting. Here are a few ideas of what they might say based on what they know about MC so far (remember, Jester, Ticket Taker, and Doctor don’t know much about MC yet)
Pierrot: I knew I would find my way to you eventually, my dear. There is only a screen separating us now, and I will find a way to cross it.
Harlequin: Oh, so you have been playing with us this entire time? Just wait until I get to play with you in person~
Ticket Taker: So that is how it was… how you always seemed to know everything. I believe I could grow rather fond of such a mechanism.
Jester: So you truly do live in another world. Your reality gives me power… and it will be quite entertaining once I finally arrive there.
Doctor: So this is where you were hiding, sweetie? Once I cross that screen, I would very much like to study the changes your body undergoes within your reality.

I’m so happy to see Harlequin receiving so much love! Thank you, everyone! So many beautiful and adorable artworks of our lovable little green menace! Happy Birthday, Harlequin!
And just like Pierrot, I ended up making another little tribute haha
Also, only today did I realize Harlequin’s cake flavor would actually be different… oops! =u=''
Peace and blessings be upon you. I hope this message finds you in good health and spirit.
Deep from my heart, I am asking you to hear me. My name is Samah Shaheen, a 28-year-old widowed mother in Gaza. I am a mother fighting for the lives of my two sons, Khalid (3) and newborn Karim, from within a fragile tent.
I lost my husband and my home to a blast, and due to a lack of medicine, I lost my arm to amputation. Today, as a Type 1 Diabetic, I face the daily fear of leaving my children alone. I am in desperate need of your mercy to afford:
• Insulin and medical supplies for my survival.
• Baby formula and diapers for my newborn.
• Clean water and food to save us from hunger.
If you are able to help, any support you can provide would be a miracle for us. If you cannot donate at this time, please help by sharing my pinned post to reach others who might be able to help.🙏
