I'm gona talk a couple spoilers, just a small headsup.
First of, the visuals of the game are beautiful, I liked the red sephia look almost monochrome but not quite. The troupe's sprites and masks were charming and I really loved the character designs, especially the audience. I don't know if you all plan to go back to add more to the game once the Jam is done, I personally would have loved to see more of the scary performances with either sprites or illustrations, or even more detailed text, cause the cutting in half cutscene was so good! I was lowkey sad there was not more of that, maybe even seeing Ari sewing back Tulip.
I was only a bit confused at the end because it felt cut short, with no ending screen or something similar, just sent back to the title screen. I am also not sure if one ending is supposed to be "Good" and one "Bad" (personally I liked more the ending Kat joins the circus, Ari speech was very convincing lol).
Aside that the combat felt a lil bit odd, at times it would be very easy to just spam slash, and others I would get my butt kicked in 2 turns. Ari fight was also odd but I don't know if it was intentional or not, first time he never attacked me, only did force fields so I assumed maybe if I didn't attack either, that would led to a different result. Then second time I fought him he almost defeated me in a couple of turns, so I am not sure if that was on purpose or accident.
Overall I liked it, only downside is I wished there was more, I was stating to like this circus and wanting to see more of them :D (also poor Tulip, she did not deserve that).
