freak show

One day, like any other day, you discovered a visual novel called Cirque du Freak. It started with watching Pierrot... then Harlequin... and then the rest of the circus. It quickly became an obsession. His room began to fill up: posters on the walls, cardboard cutouts, printed tickets, plush toys... That day, you left for school as usual, leaving the computer on with the game open... not even imagining what would happen. The screen began to flicker violently. It went dark... and came back on, but something was wrong. The characters were gone. All that remained was their dialogue, floating in the air, and nothing but emptiness. Pierrot, Harlequin, the Jester. They had stepped off the screen into the real world. Confused, he began to scan his surroundings. The first thing he noticed were the posters on the wall... of them. Then other things appeared: figurines, cardboard cutouts, and a plush Harlequin that stood out from the rest. Pierrot carefully picked up the toy, examining it closely... his claws slid along the fabric... and he unconsciously smiled his sweet, haunting smile. Pierrot: He loves me... my lord. Harlequin snatched the toy with a mocking laugh and began to play with it. The Jester immediately intervened, taking it from both of them and returning it to its place. Jester: Behave! Meanwhile, Harlequin was already sitting at the computer, working. Harlequin: This will be interesting~ He began looking at photos, documents, and so on... it's Harlequin, you'd expect nothing less from him. Images appeared: chibi versions, child versions... something strange about them. The Jester watched everything carefully. His expression said it all... He had a plan. They will wait for your return for answers.
