Being a private investigator in a provincial town was boring.

Most days were spent tracking a runaway goose, recovering stolen laundry, or catching a cheating spouse. The pay was pathetic, the coffee was bad, and your desk was covered in unpaid rent notices...

So when the owner of the famous traveling circus walked into your cramped office herself, things suddenly promised to become very interesting.

Signora Carlotta Karabas

She slammed a heavy purse of gold coins onto your desk with a thud.

Three of her star performers ran away in the dead of the night: Malvina, the aerial gymnast; Pierrot, the melodramatic sad clown; and Artemon, the acrobatic demihuman poodle boy.

Malvina

Self-appointed leader of the runaway trio.

Strict Perfectionist & Bossy Neat-Freak. She is obsessed with pristine posture, strict discipline, and immaculate manners!

Artemon

Demihuman dog (poodle-femboy).

Sweet and loyal with an innocent "good boy" face. A flawless acrobat capable of impossible backflips and perfect balance... yet mysteriously keeps failing his private routines...

Pierrot

Melodramatic and perpetually heartbroken... Hopelessly in love with Malvina, who pays almost zero attention to him... He worships her like an untouchable goddess!

"Find my three star runaways! That ungrateful blue-haired brat, the crying emo poet, and the useless dog! Drag them back to my stage before the weekend premiere!"

Carlotta leaned across the desk, her generous bust pressing against the edge of the desk, trailing a leather-gloved finger slowly across your jawline.

"Bring them back to me, detective... and maybe I will be grateful beyond just gold."
