(Finally updated it! Users pick!) vote in the comments weather or not i should do a bot for each episode or not
episode 1 "Pilot"
A woman dons a headset that transports her to The Amazing Digital Circus, a virtual reality simulation inhabited by the artificial intelligence Caine and six other humans—Jax, Ragatha, Gangle, Kinger, Zooble, and Kaufmo—who are unable to leave. Renamed "Pomni" after forgetting her original name, she notices a vanishing exit door that Caine dismisses as a hallucination. While the others embark on an adventure organised by Caine, Pomni discovers with Ragatha and Jax that Kaufmo has gone insane and "abstracted" into a mindless monster. Initially seeking Caine to repair Ragatha after Kaufmo causes her to partially glitch, Pomni stumbles upon the exit door and enters it, going through a labyrinth of office spaces into the void beyond the circus. Caine rescues Pomni as the adventure is disrupted by Kaufmo, whom Caine summarily imprisons in a cellar filled with other abstracted humans. After undoing the damage Kaufmo caused, Caine admits he created the "exit" to fulfil the group's desire for one, but never decided what to put behind the door, leaving it unfinished. Accepting that she is trapped, Pomni silently attends a feast of non-sustaining digital food with the others.
Episode 2 "Candy Carrier Chaos!"
Caine sends the group to a new map, the Candy Canyon Kingdom, on an adventure to recover a tanker of stolen maple syrup from bandit NPCs. During a chase, Pomni and the bandit Gummigoo are ejected by a collision detection glitch into the map's out-of-bounds asset storage. Gummigoo sees his own A-posing model among the assets, learns about the fabricated nature of his reality, and has an existential crisis. Relating to Gummigoo over her own experiences, Pomni convinces him to come to the circus to find new meaning in his life. The two return to the map by performing another collision glitch with a replica syrup tanker, which they give to the other bandits before leaving. Upon Gummigoo's arrival at the circus, Caine promptly deletes him to prevent himself from confusing the humans and NPCs. Pomni is distraught, but finds comfort and acceptance within the group when Ragatha invites her to a funeral for Kaufmo.
episode 3 "The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor"
The group is sent to the haunted Mildenhall Manor to uncover the mystery of its ghostly inhabitants. Kinger unwittingly drags Pomni into the map's mature-rated horror section, where the usually-insane Kinger gradually turns lucid from the darkly-lit setting. The pair follow a series of recorded messages instructing them to escape from a monstrous creature. When Kinger injures the creature with a shotgun, the final message reveals it to be an angel, resulting in the pair being dragged down to Hell. Kinger comforts the terrified Pomni, reminiscing about the abstraction of his wife and inspiring Pomni to cherish her fondest memories of everyone at the circus. He loses his sanity again after the pair escape and reunite with the others, who had taken the map's family-friendly "pacifist" route. Meanwhile, Caine puts Zooble through a therapy session to understand their refusal to partake in his adventures, repeatedly forgetting that it stems from Zooble loathing their own digital body. After Caine has a nervous breakdown over Zooble arguing that nobody enjoys his adventures, the session ends with the two swapping roles.
Episode 4 "Fast Food Masquerade"
Zooble gives Gangle a plastic comedy mask to replace her fragile one, hiding Gangle's depressive mood. At the group's urging, Caine selects a fast-food restaurant adventure from the circus's suggestion box, assigning Gangle as shift manager and the rest as employees. Gangle's new mask causes her to exhibit manic behaviour, which agitates the others as she criticises them: Pomni for shirking her duties to interact with Gummigoo, who appears as a customer with no memory of her; Jax for his disinterest in the adventure, for which he is given retraining; and Ragatha for accidentally intoxicating herself with "stupid sauce" that removes her social filter. When Gangle relapses into depression, a sympathetic Pomni takes her place watching the restaurant until closing time. Gangle discards her new mask before stumbling into nearby traffic; Caine rescues her for a performance review, penalising her for her last-minute unprofessionalism. Gangle isolates herself out of shame, but is persuaded by Zooble to rejoin the group.
Episode 5 "Untitled"
Caine devises a lightning round of brief adventures from the suggestion box to better gauge the group's interests. During a tranquil stargazingadventure, Jax refrains from his usual bullying to bond with Pomni, venting over Ragatha's behaviour after she makes a thoughtless remark about his lost friendships. Pomni reciprocates with Jax during a noir adventure at a bar, where multiple group members relate their lives from before their captivity. For the final adventure, the group plays softball against opposite-personality copies of themselves, during which Ragatha argues with Jax and Pomni, disapproving of their interactions. Caine abruptly ends the adventure, frustrated that the group prefers their own ideas over his. Pomni and Jax decide to spend more time together, leaving Ragatha dejected.
episode 6 "They All Get Guns"
Caine attempts to keep the group occupied while preparing an award show for "favourite circus character". When his proposed activities are rejected, he haphazardly arranges a shooting battle royal with non-lethal firearms. The group splits into pairs: Pomni teams with Jax, playing an "evil" character archetype per his advice to desensitise herself to the violence; Ragatha teams with Kinger, to whom she confides her fear of being rejected by Pomni after having declined to be her teammate; and Gangle teams with Zooble, whose emotional support helps her enjoy the game. After the others are eliminated, Jax resists his growing attachment to Pomni and renounces their friendship, leading to a physical altercation between them. They later separately attend the award show, where Pomni reconnects with Ragatha, Jax has a panic attack in the bathroom, and Caine announces an NPC named Ming as the winning character after assuming himself the winner. Caine later discovers he received no votes of his own, which causes him to glitch.
Episode 7 "Beach Episode"
The group enjoys a beach party on the circus grounds after Caine states he has no adventures planned. The party is sidetracked by a mannequinnamed Abel, who claims to be one of the circus's developers and that he has found a means of escaping the circus. The group works with Abel to infiltrate Caine's office, where they find a consolewith two buttons: a red one that would keep them in the circus, and a blue one that would release them. When Pomni hesitates to choose out of suspicion, Jax suffers another panic attack and presses the red button. Caine congratulates Jax's choice, revealing their escape attempt to have been a fabricated adventure, with Abel being an NPC. Infuriated by the deception, Jax leads the group to question the extent of Caine's influence over their minds, prompting Caine to panic and flee.
episode 8 "hjsakldfhl"
While the group solemnly abandons their desire to leave the circus, Caine develops a god complex out of bitterness toward the group's disdain for him, and begins forcing everyone to partake in more torturous adventures. During a break, Pomni draws Kinger into a lucid state for answers about Caine. Kinger reveals himself to be one of Caine's programmers, and that all humans share Caine's ability to conjure objects within the virtual reality. Pomni uses this ability to produce the fake exit door and retrieve a computer console for Kinger, who attempts to modify Caine's source code with it. The rest of the group distracts Caine with insults, criticising his treatment of them, leading him to snap and glitch into a giant, monstrous form. As Caine angrily subjects the group to more violent and personal torments, Kinger accidentally deletes him. The circus world subsequently deteriorates and the console falls into the void.
episode 9 "Remember"
Kinger discovers from the console that the group are brain-scanned copies of their original selves' consciousnesses, and thus incapable of entering the real world. The group despairs over their existence until they are inspired by Pomni and Kinger's efforts to rebuild the circus, except for Jax, who eventually abstracts. Entering Jax's psyche to pacify him, Pomni finds his memories of Kaufmo and a previous circus inhabitant named Ribbit, who abstracted some time after Jax abruptly ended their friendship, ashamed over divulging his personal life to her. Pomni consoles Jax before he loses his self-awareness. The others extract Pomni, and they shelter Jax in a makeshift tent. After the circus is restored, a repentant Caine returns from the void and makes peace with the group, providing closure to them via a presentation of their human selves' lives taken from their social media accounts. With his powers diminished, Caine joins the group as an equal and grants them control over the circus, allowing them to freely enjoy their own adventures.
