About the game story


That day, children's laughter can be heard all across the orphanage, for the arrival of the famous circus: Chursey. In the midst of joy, a single child differs from all. It was a young girl with bright pink hair, cuddling in the corner with her attentive arms wrapped around her knees. She seemed to have something that isn't the shared joy all around her in mind......

"Come with us, you are the chosen one."



Before she lost her senses, she heard the words,
"Welcome to the circus Chursey."

How to play
