An Important Note on Lore vs. Fan Theory
Read with discernment. The Freak Circus is still in development — the itch.io page states that "the script is still a work in progress" and that "no endings are fully planned yet." This means much of what players interpret as lore may be intentional foreshadowing, may be unfinished content, or may be players finding patterns that were not deliberately placed. We tag everything so you can tell the difference.
