The most frequently asked questions!
Neko, do I need to read the comics and follow the asks?
No, thatβs just extra content for those who want to understand more about the lore behind this world. All important and relevant information will be in the game.

Why is MC being human important?
Let me show you the meaning behind it. Youβre in the middle of the jungle, and suddenly youβre surrounded by wolves. What would surprise you more being saved by another human, your own kind, or one of the wolves turning against the pack to protect you? Thatβs the context I want you to understand.

Did Harlequin and Pierrot propose marriage when they bit MC?
No. Right now, theyβre competing for you in a game of flirtation. Those bites are not proposals. I mentioned thereβs context, and that the mark would leave a scar and MC has no scar!
Itβs like when a friend gives you a ring that doesnβt mean youβre married, right?
Marriage and courtship among monsters are different, and MC should definitely be aware of whatβs being proposed. So relax! For now, theyβre just teasing each other and lightly trying to mark you.

Black tent and pink tent
I canβt answer anything about those topics! Thatβs something you need to explore in the game and interpret for yourselves.

What happens when the circus leaves? And Carol? And the fools?
All of that will also be explored in the game, so thereβs nothing I can answer about it right now.

Why does the game only have English voice acting?
I donβt know any Brazilian or Chinese voice actors, and adding voice acting is new to me. I never planned for the game to have it, but @darthsukiβs performance really convinced me it would add more emotion!
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
How many endings will the game have?
Iβm planning multiple endings, but I canβt give a number right now. I might change my mind, so I prefer not to set expectations yet.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
What does the βpoly routeβ mean?
It means MC will fall in love with Pierrot and Harlequin at the same time. The rest is up to your interpretation. Just like Jesterβs tent, I wonβt say too much about certain parts of the game so you can form your own interpretations thatβs all!
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Will Pierrot abandon MC?
Where did that come from? A lot of people asked me this, so Iβll be very direct:
NO. There is nothing that would make Pierrot abandon MC. Never.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Are MC and Columbina the same person/reincarnation/descendants?
No. MC has no connection to Columbina.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Does Pierrot still love Columbina?
No, Pierrot has grown up and matured a lot since then, he no longer thinks of Columbina that way.

What do the circus members/monsters find attractive in humans?
You know when you come across a group of cats on the street, and you recognize that theyβre all cats, but youβre unable to distinguish their gender or other traits that define them individually? Thatβs how they see humans. They learn to recognize patterns to tell them apart, like βmost females have long hair, but not all,β or βmost males have beards and more body hair, but not all.β
Appearance isnβt exactly what attracts them, but other factorsβ¦ maybe Iβll talk about that soon.

What if I don't want anything romantic with the characters?
The protagonist's route won't involve romance, but you can still choose whether or not to form friendships with them.

Why are some answers no longer canon?
Iβve mentioned before that while I was still writing the full script, I might change my mind over time.
Many asks made before I wrote Day 2 may not be very helpful anymore. Thanks to the @iwasbibliomaniac masterlist, Iβve started reviewing them and already removed some that no longer made sense to keep. Now I have a more solid foundation for the script, and I only answer questions that align with whatβs already structured in it.
