Why are all the members so persistent on pretending to be human when it's so obvious they're not?

Why does the lion hide in the grass?

Why does the snake blend in with the branches?

Why does the alligator appear to be just a floating log?

Isn't it interesting how predators always try to go unnoticed by their prey? The prey questions the camouflage, notices something strange, but they're still there, staring carelessly.

Let's be honest, you knew that this will eventually happen

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.

Português!! Neko eu preciso ler as comics e acompanhar as asks? Não, isso é apenas conteúdo extra para quem quer entender mais da lore por trás desse mundo, toda informação importante ou relevante você verá no jogo. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Por que MC ser humano é importante? Me permita te mostrar o sentido disso. Você está no meio da selva, e de repente é cercado por lobos, o que é que vai te surpreender mais, se um humano, da sua própria espécie te salvar, ou se um dos lobos se virar contra a matilha pra te proteger? Esse é o contexto que quero que vocês entendam. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Arlequim e Pierrot proporam casamento ao morder MC? Não, no momento eles estão te disputando em um jogo de flertes, aquelas mordidas não são propostas, afinal eu disse que tem um contexto, e que a marca deixaria cicatriz, e MC não tem cicatriz! É como quando um amigo te dá um anel, isso não torna vocês casados certo? A relação de casamento e cortejo dos monstros é diferente, e com certeza MC deve estar ciente do que está sendo proposto, então relaxe! No momento eles estão apenas se provocando tentando te marcar de leve! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Tenda preta e tenda rosa Não posso responder nada sobre esses tópicos pessoal! Isso é algo que vocês precisam explorar no jogo para ter suas interpretações! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ O que acontece quando o circo vai embora? E Carol? E os tolos/fools? Tudo isso também serão explorado no jogo, então não há nada que eu possa responder sobre isso no momento. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Por que o jogo só tem dublagem em inglês? Eu não conheço nenhum dublador brasileiro ou chines, e adicionar dublagem é algo novo para mim, eu nunca planejei que o jogo tivesse dublagem, mas a atuação do Darth realmente me convenceu que daria uma emoção maior! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Quantos finais vai ter no jogo? Eu planejo uma série de finais mas não tenho como dar números agora, eu sempre posso acabar mudando de ideia então prefiro não dar espectativas a vocês. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ O que significa a tal rota poli? Significa que MC se apaixonará por Pierrot e Arlequim ao mesmo tempo, o resto fica a sua própria interpretação, assim como a tenda de Jester, eu não direi muito sobre partes do jogo pra que vocês tenham suas próprias interpretação, apenas isso! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Pierrot vai abandonar MC? De onde isso veio? Muitas pessoas me perguntaram isso, então serei bem direto: NÃO, não há nada que faça Pierrot abandonar MC. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ MC e Columbina são a mesma pessoa/reencarnação/descendentes? Não, MC não tem qualquer ligação com Columbina. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Pierrot ainda ama Columbina? Não, Pierrot cresceu e amadureceu muito desde aquela epoca, ele não pensa mais em Columbina dessa forma. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

O que os membros do circo/monstros acham atraentes nos humanos? Sabe quando você encontra um grupo de gatos na rua, e reconhece que todos são gatos, mas é incapax de distinguir genero ou outros traços que definem eles individualmente? É assim que eles veem humanos, eles aprendem a reconhecer padroes para diferenciar como " a maioria das femeas tem cabelo grande, mas nao todas" "a maioria dos homens tem barba e mais pelos, mas também não todos" A aparencia não é exatamente o que atrai eles, mas outros fatores, quem sabe em breve eu fale sobre isso ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ E se eu não quiser nada romântico com os personagens Neko? A rota do protagonista não envolve romance, mas você ainda pode tentar ser amigos deles ou não. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Por que tem perguntas que não são mais canonicas? Eu já mencionei uma vez que eu ainda estava escrevendo o roteiro completo, e que eu poderia mudar de ideia com o tempo. Muitas asks feitas antes de eu escrever o dia 2 podem não ser de grande ajuda para vocês, graças a masterlist de iwasbibliomaniac eu comecei a revisar aos poucos e já removi algumas das que não faziam mais sentido manter. Agora eu tenho uma base mais sólida para o roteiro e respondo apenas perguntas que tenham tema já estruturado no roteiro. Acontece que eu nunca imaginei que o jogo se tornasse tão popular ao ponto das asks serem usadas em teorias haha. Então agora estou sendo mais cuidadoso para não confundir vocês.

I FORGOR TO SHARE THESE! But they are wooden keychains that feature my old artwork that was on the aluminum ones (that the business doesn't make anymore) I am also thinking about making a blanket with ALL the new vegas robots... or all the fallout robots in general? Maybe a double sided yes man and victor pillow... Or a muggy rug...ruggy...

Most Popular Questions:

I decided to make a post with some of the questions I get the most. Some have already been answered, but in this post it’ll be easier to find, right?

About their height: I have a small chart I use when making the sprites. They’re in the same order as the bad ending:

You also ask A LOT about the size of… their body parts haha As you know, they’re not human, so yes, those parts are bigger too, and each one has a different design. I PLAN to draw this, but only after the update is released. After all, I haven’t revealed Jester and Doctor’s designs yet, so I’ll rank them from largest to smallest, okay? 🍆 Size Rank: Doctor Pierrot Jester Harlequin Ticket Taker

👅 Size Rank: Pierrot Jester Harlequin Ticket Taker Doctor

Physical Strength Rank: (I know I haven’t introduced their abilities yet, but this ranking is just for raw strength)

Pierrot Harlequin/Jester (Whoever has the advantage wins) Doctor Ticket Taker

(If you remember Harlequin’s story, this info is just a slight “what if” context Just teasing you with this~ don’t think too hard about it)

About the game:

When will the update be released? I really wanted to release it this month (since it’s my month /o/), but I can’t give a date yet. There’s about 20% left to finish coding (around 25 dialogue pages remaining).

Once I finish coding with the sprites, I’ll move on to music and sound effects. That’s when I’ll be able to estimate a date, and I’ll let you know when I get there.

About translations: The update will include: English, Portuguese, and Chinese.

Someone volunteered to translate into Russian, and another person into Spanish. I haven’t been able to properly talk with them about these translations yet (since I haven’t coded all the dialogue), so keep in mind those languages are a possibility, but please be patient.

How many days will the game have? Haha! That’s a tricky question. See, the second day of the update is huge, and it just goes deeper into the story while introducing the rest of the cast. So there will definitely be a “day 3,” though I’m not sure how far beyond that it will go.

Will the whole cast have a romance route? I have a lot of endings planned, and making the other characters romance options is a possibility. I really like the idea, but I can’t promise anything. Do I want to do it? Yes! Will it be possible? I’ll have to test it in the script after finishing day 2, so I just need a bit more time before I can be certain.
