About the Game

Game Overview


Pluto Circus has recently become a hot topic in Las Vegas. Beyond the usual disclaimers and the allure of freak shows, news broke of the sheriff's son mysteriously disappearing during one of the performances.
Tasked by the sheriff, private detective G17 has managed to secure a spot as one of the circus's "lucky guests" through under-the-table dealings. He will have the opportunity to spend a peculiar day with the performers, with the entire event broadcast live worldwide—up until the final act.

—Should he, in his paranoia, have ever crossed the boundaries of natural law and glimpsed into the abyss of madness, then perhaps he is already trapped within it.
