Chapter 4 is now available!

A visual novel set in a fantasy world where appearance is everything and humans are at the bottom of the totem pole. A disowned prince and a sickly human who got a second chance at life rebel against a corrupt monarchy.

In the Arena Circus universe physically superior beings knowns as reavers rule over high society and have established a strict caste system, with humans at the bottom. In order to have any sort of nice lifestyle the humans seek out strong reavers and allow themselves to be bonded as a Harlequin. Some humans are used as servants, jesters, pleasure slaves, but most are forced to duel in arena-styled tournaments.

This game is incomplete. The current build features 4/6 chapters, but it is missing assets. I am in the middle of redrawing many of the assets for a better experience. As such, there are currently limited clothing items available. Please enjoy!
