Introduction

Dazzling Circus is an option-based RPG horror game which was developed using mainly JavaScript (p5js). Each decision the players make can directly affect the story’s ending. In the final product, there will be background music to exaggerate the atmosphere as well as better graphics images in the game. After clicking the start button, players can click the area within the dialogue box to read the story.

Then, the player will need to enter different doors to solve different characters’ problems. Players can get hints from other characters so as to clear the mission. Before solving all the problems, the door of the ringmaster (the door in the center) will not be opened. When the player is done with all missions, he or she can enter this door and choose which ending they would like. However, if the player selects a wrong answer in any mission, he or she will need to restart the game.

Features

The idea of this game is from different type of mental illness, and we try to let the player understand those patients by the first-person narration. Each of the members of the circus player meets represent a kind of it. They include Dissociative disorder, Narcissistic personality disorder, Bipolar disorderand etc. All of them have their own story. While "I" have no idea why "I" am here and even "I" lost my memory. By trying to find out those character's past player will get hints from the member of the circus for reason of why "I" come here. At the end of the story, the player will find that "I" have Schizophreniaand the circus is just the world "I" create. For the ending, the player could choose to face the reality and "my" own pass or turn a blind eye.

Responsibility
