I really enjoyed the thought put into the storytelling/writing. For example, I liked how the characters were introduced and how the story transitioned into the next tasks. But I do wish there was more decision making, since I feel like that would make the story even more immersive than it already is.
I noticed this when going through the “Help Self Service” route. A few times after pressing that choice, it was just reading and pushing you towards one outcome without having any other options to make another choice. In the following passages:
“You decide to call over the owner Mr. Baliath and discuss about it. Mr. Baliath simply smiles at the man allowing them entry into the circus.”
“After helping in services you decide to now Help with the carnival games.”
There are mentions of “you decide,” but there wasn’t actually another option for the player to decide. Because of this, it didn’t really feel like I was the one making the decision, and at those parts it felt more like I was reading a book.
Overall, I like the Circus theme and how you write to set the scene, but I just think adding more choices throughout would make the experience feel more like an interactive game!
