About the Game

A bearded lady with a soft voice,
A crippled clown who crawls for laughs,
A cannonball woman who flies because the crowd paid to see her fall,
A Ringmaster who watches every mistake,

And you, The Birdman.

A quiet performer with a parrot that speaks for him.

You live among the freaks, the performers, and the people who come to laugh at you.

At Night: Freakshow is a first-person psychological horror experience where you take the role of a protected witness hiding inside a freakshow.

In this episode, you follow Samuel Finch, placed inside The Carnival of Second Lives by the FBI after becoming involved in The At Night Case. To keep him hidden, they give him a new name, a new act, and a new life.

The Carnival of Second Lives

It is not just a place for entertainment,

It is a refuge for the unwanted, a stage for the broken,

and a business built on turning pain into applause.
