The Freak Circus: All 4 Hidden Scenes & Bad Ending Walkthrough
Complete guide to unlock every secret scene and avoid the bad ending
🗝️How Many Hidden Scenes are in The Freak Circus?
One of the top questions from players is "how many hidden scenes are in The Freak Circus?". In the latest v0.2 update (Day 2), there are 4 primary secret scenes that require specific conditions to unlock:
💀The Dreaded Bad Ending
The Bad Ending is the most common result for first-time players. In this outcome, the protagonist fails to navigate the complex manipulation of the clowns, resulting in a dark finale where you are "consumed" by the circus (lore-wise, this is often interpreted as being eaten or permanently transformed).
🚶Walkthrough for Open Endings
Currently, the game features 3 Open Endings. These are not definitive "Happy" or "Victory" endings, but rather paths where the story concludes without the player's immediate demise:
- The Neutral Escape: Successfully leaving the circus grounds but leaving your fate uncertain.
- Pierrot's Obsession: A path where you remain under Pierrot's protection.
- Harlequin's Game: A path where you become a permanent part of Harlequin's performative cycle.
