I made my boyfriend play The Freak Circus.
The following are quotes of his during the game. It was too funny not to share.
"everybody is out to fuck me… its like a survival horror but everyone wants to fuck me!" "Pierrot's just a weird lil dude." "No he's still not creepy. Just weird." (after the first night scene with Pierrot ) "NOW THIS ONE IS WEIRD" - regarding Harlequin I asked him what he thinks of Bil and he said "Zero trust." immediately goes to black tent "Maybe I should have saved for that." "Ima just see what happens when I keep going to the black tent" "Maybe if I do it 10 MORE times something else will happen." *he did do it ten more times nothing happens* *confuses green tent for cyan tent because he's a man and cannot tell the difference*
When asked for thoughts on the Doctor "how generic looking" (I was offended) "Of course the doctor in this game has a plague doctor mask" "Okay maybe he doesn't look generic but its stereotypical"
"Oh he's big." "NO I AM NOT ENJOYING THIS STOP MAKING SHIT UP. HE"S GASLIGHTING ME! STOP IT!" "I do not want that pink injection. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ALREADY INJECTED ME? WHY ARE THE ONLY OPTIONS YES?" "They are all so weird." "I think they just all wanna fuck me. Why? I just exist." *has literally 30 saves now* "CYAN AND BLUE ARE THE SAME DAMN COLOR" "Oh its this bitch" - abt Bil's tent "Oh boy" when faced with the mirrors "Uhoh no!" Pierrot's Mirror "Oh of course… he's here… fucking weirdo." - Harlequins mirror
"So do they wanna fuck me or eat me? Is this like that cannibal movie we watched? Where its all a metaphor for veganism." "I prefer Pierrot. He's weird but less than the rest of them" -when I forced him to pick a 'favorite' "Ticket Taker isn't weird. I just don't trust him. Like innately." *barely understands what the plays/hall of mirrors was trying to say and I mean BARELY*
"Still weird. BUT… kinda creepy." - thoughts on Jester "Oh he's going to get sexual now isn't he… he's going to sexually harass me. THE ONLY PERSON WHO HASN'T SEXUALLY HARASSED ME IS MY BOSS." "The most tolerable one is back." - about Pierrot "HE"S GONNA EAT ME." "It's good. Really long for just one chapter. But I am still confused." "I'd definitely play more when more comes out." "Reminds me of how they did the lore in Undertale. And I did enjoy that."
I would like to offer some quotes me and 2 of my friends had when first being shown the game. It was one of my friends streaming it for context:
"It is giving: if I help him now, he is less likely to kill me later" - me
"Jester this, clown that, give me the barrista boss" - me
"Sir, I said I'm not into knife play" - me
"I would follow the walking red billboard into the restricted area of the circus" - the friend streaming the game
"There is nothing stopping me from touching that ass" - my other friend
"Weewoo weewoo" - me whenever something suspicious was happening
"Oh hello tomorrow" - the other friend when seeing it was past midnight
Funnily enough, this was also the game that made me and my friends make a tier list for green/red flags
