Hi! Let me tell you my story:

Let's say that I am... Hmmm... From a problematic family.

The thing is, because of some weird stuff, I have to eat souls to stay alive. Four pieces of souls everyday.

It sounds kinda evil, I know, but actually I'm not that way. I don´t like hurting people and being the monster and things like that. So I had to be creative. Thats why I created The Greatest Show.

It is such an incredible show that people are willing to pay with their lifes to watch it. I give people a good show and, in exchange, they give me their soul.

Win-win.

It's totally fair.

Having a show like this is not easy, the key is to keep the mystery.

No matter how incredible it is, if people knew how it goes, they would not pay the price.

Super weird, but also super funny game. The game is overall really well made. The only complain I have is that some of text, I has to read too many times. I would also like to see this game with some voice acting.

¿wAtThEfRiCk¿ I love the style of the game. All the randomness the game portraits with the peanut customers, the strangely styled phones, the conversations and of course, when you change the camera, you actually change to the pov of the goose and that's why the camera is rotating. Very nice and very wat the f

Very bizarre game, which is something very admirable though. I love games that give you a weird experience and leave you thinking “what the hell did I just play” great work, great graphics, great take on the theme, great game.

Fun game! SUper bizzarre, and felt some papers please vibes. Loved the dark humor.
It's a bit hard to understand the look at your internet part. The camera movement when switching to first person view was a great little detail! haha

Thus is a very unique concept, and I love that. I generally liked the humor and mood you set up.

The rounds themselves were a bit long for me and I always ended picking randomly when the decision on show type came up.

The camera for looking at the items on the counter moves a ton and I don't really understand why. I found it easier to guess from what I could see from the primary camera angle most of the time.
