Hi Garula! I absolutely love the atmosphere of The Freak Circus and wanted to share a few cozy and creepy ideas for the game:
1. Lore/Choice Detail: When the NPC goes to the doctor's tent, it would be awesome to have a choice to ask them about the candy debt promised on the second day. Small callbacks like this make the world feel so alive!
2. In-game Journal: A sketchbook or diary for the protagonist. As the story progresses, it could unlock eerie sketches of the performers, hidden lore notes, and clues for different routes.
3. Character Customization: Adding a simple character creator in the main menu (skin color, hair, clothes) so players can visualize themselves in the circus.
4. Mini-game: A tense puzzle or time-limited event based on circus acts (like dodging knives or finding clues in a dark tent) to add more interaction.
Thank you so much for your hard work, can't wait for the updates!
