This thrilling adventure thrusts you into a 1988 Midwestern town gripped by economic despair and an unsettling sense of foreboding. A strange carnival, the Revelia, appears as if from nowhere, promising a much-needed escape for the downtrodden townsfolk. However, as you and your friends explore the carnival's twisted attractions, you'll soon discover that something sinister lurks beneath the bright lights and joyous music.
The adventure begins with a bang as you're greeted by the Ringmaster, a charismatic figure whose words hint at the carnival's true nature. You'll have to navigate a gauntlet of carnival games, each with its unique challenges and rewards. But be warned, not all is as it seems at the Revelia.
