Japan, September 24th, 2024 | Spooky season just got scarier with the launch of No Ghost in Circus Caravan. The point-and-click horror adventure is available now on Steam and retails for $0.99.
There Are No Ghosts…
Welcome to the Mesel Circus Caravan, where you’re employed as the newest manager for the circus’s nightly shows. As the overseer, you’re responsible for deciding the evening’s program, choosing the best performers for the gig, and ensuring your attendees have a memorable experience. At the head of your troupe is Lina, the ringmaster, who ushers you into this new role. But despite Lina’s high spirit and dependability, things aren’t going as expected. There is something off about this circus, and you’re uncertain of Lina’s assurance that there are absolutely no ghosts.
Small Helpings of Horror
No Ghost in Circus Caravan is a point-and-click horror adventure where each decision informs the game’s multiple endings. Explore different areas around the circus–such as the main stage, the dressing room, and the prop warehouse–to uncover the mystery hiding within. Each investigation lasts only a few minutes and comprises unique puzzles to solve the secrets of each room. Rearrange scattered tiles to reveal the room’s facade, discover files to learn more about the troupe members, or risk cutting different ropes and see the impact on the main stage. If you find yourself stuck on any puzzle, hint cards are available for each round to guide you. Based on your actions in each room, the game’s ending will change, leading to various finales for this small circus.
An Unforgettable Cast
As you delve further into the secrets of the circus, terrifying outcomes await, and they may be connected to your troupe members. Lina, your ringmaster, assures you that no ghosts lie in the caravan; Lina’s partner, her white snake Silhouette, must be playing tricks on you in the shadowy corners of the circus. Your exploration may lead you to a nameless and faceless puppeteer, whom even Lina knows little about, or you’ll encounter the troupe’s cheery monkey, Chriqoo! Each interaction with the cast members is different from the last, and you can’t help but question Lina’s warning to you in the beginning. Are there ghosts in the circus caravan?
