Story

Nobody even remembers why the war started anymore.

The story follows Louise as he navigates through a world after the war. Originally part of a circus before being ripped away and kept by a platoon of soldiers, he spent months re-learning how to navigate the war-torn world. Now, as the dust settles and these cities attempt to rebuild themselves, what will become of this boy with nowhere to go?

You play Louise as he wanders through an unnamed village, looking for a circus to become a part of once more. The soldiers are strange, the townsfolk stranger, but what awaits you once someone begins to take notice of your presence and your talents.

Note from the Devs

Hello everyone! This is our teams very first game jam (except for our head programmer who has participated in other game jams before) and we are so, so excited to have had this experience here! We're relatively new with everything so this was a massive learning curve but we're so happy to have finished on time! Definitely not perfect but it's something cool we all made. We hope you guys enjoy our little labor of love <3

Thank you for playing!
