  • story
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is a captivating blend of horror and adventure, set against the backdrop of a tragic circus disaster in the 1920s, featuring well-developed characters and unexpected plot twists. While the pacing can be slow at times and the dual narrative structure may frustrate some players, the haunting atmosphere, engaging storytelling, and intricate puzzles keep players invested from start to finish. Overall, the narrative is praised for its depth and connection to the broader lore of the Vlad Circus series, making it a compelling experience.

    • “The story is both engaging and intriguing, keeping the player on their toes with unexpected progressions and well-constructed characters.”
    • “It's an adventure game about the terrifying story of a freak circus in the 1920s that burned down in a terrible disaster.”
    • “The pixel art gives the game a unique atmosphere, and the story remains interesting from start to finish, expanding the circus lore in fascinating ways.”
    • “Despite the rather slow-paced story with a bit of downtime and a few uninspired real-time battles, the game captivated me so much with its great atmosphere and dramatic ending that I had to play through it within a few days.”
    • “Cons: it forces you to play 2 stories at the same time for the same character and you can't skip them since your creepy story doesn't advance if you don't do the wild west story.”
    • “The story is exciting and well constructed – you learn bit by bit how the disaster in the circus came about – at least as long as you don't get lost somewhere while searching for the next piece you need.”
  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a point-and-click style that effectively complements the horror-adventure narrative, offering familiar exploration and puzzle-solving elements that contribute to its charm. However, some players find the puzzles to be overly complex and illogical, detracting from the overall experience. While the sequel maintains the same mechanics, it has received mixed feedback regarding its execution.

    • “Overall, this is a brilliant example of a horror-adventure; the point-and-click style of gameplay suits the themes and narrative very well.”
    • “From the very beginning, you are thrown into a brutal story, fighting for your life and learning the different game mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay is familiar exploration, puzzles, and interaction with everything around you, but that’s part of its charm.”
    • “This time the gameplay got screwed up somehow.”
    • “The gameplay is the weakest part, with puzzles being very weird to solve. Usually, you have to think inside the box and play the events in a certain order, not in a smart way.”
    • “The sequel uses the same game mechanics.”
  • atmosphere
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Despite some pacing issues, the overall ambiance and attention to detail in the environment contribute to a unique and immersive gameplay experience.
