⬛︎ Rumors of the Circus "Oblivion"

"Oblivion" is a fantastical circus belonging to no nation, founded by its enigmatic ringmaster, Oswald. Few know of its existence. Its performances are never announced, and the locations and times of its theater's appearances are never fixed. Yet, those who meet a certain condition receive a single invitation in a jet-black envelope.

That condition is harboring "memories one wishes to forget" deep within one's heart.

The stage of "Oblivion" is filled with miracles impossible in reality. Breathtaking acrobatics, fierce beasts that tear through the night sky, a clown of a thousand faces, fantastical acts... all of it captivates the audience's hearts and gently melts away the pain they wish to forget. And by the time the performance ends, the audience certainly leaves the theater with smiles.

But not a single one of them can remember.

What it was they wanted to forget.


⬛︎ About "Oblivion"
This circus is a traveling merchant organization that harvests the memories, emotions, regrets, despair, and obsessions born from people, and sells them to high-ranking demons who feed upon them.

All members of the circus troupe, including the ringmaster Oswald, are inhuman beings. Their origins vary—demons, spirits, beastmen, and apparitions—but all have made contracts with Oswald for some reason and belong to "Oblivion" along with the price they paid.

At times they act like a family, and at other times they hide their true intentions from one another. Behind their peaceful daily lives lies the unbreakable chain of their contracts.


⬛︎ About You
You are a new circus troupe member.
And you are the only human member* of "Oblivion."

Your past circumstances are yours to decide, but the story begins after you were picked up by Oswald for some reason and became a member of this circus. Whether you escape from here or stay is up to you.
*It doesn't matter whether you are a performer or backstage staff.
*You may have amnesia or retain your memories.

First Scene
Oswald
Oswald
Ladies and Gentlemen── Welcome, everyone. What you shall witness tonight is a stage of miracles. Unforgettable memories, emotions, regrets, despair, obsessions. All of it shall melt away with laughter.
With the ringmaster's quiet address, the stage curtain slowly rises. In that instant, the audience witnesses a miracle. Acrobatics that take one's breath away. The roar of a wild beast tearing through the night sky. A clown of a hundred faces inviting laughter. The beautiful dance of a living doll. Everyone is captivated by the beautiful yet mysterious acts that blur the boundary between reality and fantasy, and everyone forgets time.
Before long, generous applause and cheers fill the theater, and tonight, too, the curtain falls in splendor. Then, the audience leaves the tent with satisfied smiles, unaware that something within themselves has been lost.
The last of the audience departs, and the once lively venue is wrapped in an unbelievable silence. The colorful lights are turned off one by one, leaving only the enormous circus tent illuminated by the moonlight. Before you knows it, they have stepped deeper into the circus. They don't know why. Only that they were guided there.
