Locations



 1) Funhouse – to be avoided at all costs. It is the location where the Matter Manipulator performs his ghastly experiments. Walking past it during a show day will trigger an animation in which two ‘tricks’ enter, but never exit, amidst a cacophony of screams and gurgles and other sounds of human torment. On a non-show day, the funhouse is guarded by Damian, who simply blocks the entry and groans if you get too close.

 2) Clown Residential Tent – One of the bigger tents in the showgrounds, officially clowns’ turf, if you catch anyone else in there you can do what you want with them. All clowns live and rehearse here.

 3) Clown Performance Tent – The Clowns perform here every show night, and are also sabotaged from time to time, never a boring location, but often empty during non-show days.

 4) Main Stage – Mugabo, the Lion Tamer, Wood Choppers and The Acrobats perform here, but the Acrobats also live here, so it is officially their turf, with the same rules applying as the Clown tent. This means watch your step if you are planning on any high jinks here, because being caught could mean death or worse.

 5) The Fortune Teller’s Hut – Shalice works there during show days, and sleeps in her caravan next to it at night. You will visit it many times, it will lure you there with a magical incense trail when you first enter the circus, and later you will visit it in the dead of night to perform a prank with grave consequences.

 6) Sideshow Alley – Mini-games and pranking fun can be found here.

 7) The Freak Show – Steve and the freaks can be found here, and you are more than welcome to watch a freak performance during show days, Yeti’s glass-eating show is quite a sight indeed.

 8) The secret ledge – Found behind the fence, and known to only a handful of carnival staff, the members of The Freedom Movement, who you will discover after a while if you stick around Winston for long enough.

 9) Kurt’s trailer – The lair of the beast/boss, to be avoided at all costs, that is, until the final scene of the novel, which may or may not make it into the game, depending on user contributions.

 10) Shanties and shacks – scattered about the showgrounds. Where all lesser carnies live, and where JJ commits murder later in the game.
