About the Game

"You ain't worth a dollar."


Rodeo Clown is a visual novel/walking sim about the sorriest man on Earth.

Fill the shoes of Des and embark on a journey that'll take you to the sleepy backwater of Aurora, Texas. Not much happens in Aurora, besides the occasional tornado or distant gunshot. There's a tractor museum (closed), a beautiful mural, angsty teenagers, ominous signs, totem tennis and... that's about it.

"I reckon you could summarise the history of Aurora into two categories. Pre-rodeo clown massacre, and post-rodeo clown massacre."


Will you find the answers to all your problems in Aurora? Des hopes so, but Des hopes for a lot of things.

Is it all in his head, or is there some greater power beating him into submission? Des needs it to be the latter. Life is easier when it's not your fault.

"You got sad eyes. Like you seen your dog get run over."
