“Woe to boys who refuse to obey their parents and run away from home! They will never be happy in this world, and when they are older they will be very sorry for it.” - Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi

Story::

Ringmaster Clause takes place before the events of the previous Maimie’s Toybox game, Queen Mary’s Script. This time, players join Clause as he’s first created. Through his naivety, he struggles to learn the basic rules of the world of humans. It’s an unfair world for dolls and in his frustration, he soon escapes the safety of his glass cage after the death of a dear friend.
Along the way, he meets the colorful Cat and stubborn Signora. Together, the three set out to gather up a troupe and create a circus just for dolls.
But circus life isn’t always so happy as shown in books and pictures.
Clause soon learns the dark secrets of the circus troupe and comes to realize that it’s not only humans who bear two faces.

With a longing for home, Clause seeks to put out the fire he started.

Characters::
Clause - A modern day Pinocchio fresh to the world. He wants nothing more than to stay with Nicholas for as long as he lives.
Nicholas - A sickly young boy who is always smiling.
Cat - A dandy who cares for nothing but good music and good girls.
Signora Rosaura - A young doll that wants to do nothing more than to save others.

And many more!

Game::
The game is much in the same style as Queen Mary’s Script but with more puzzles and less focus on fighting. It uses a action based fighting system.
You do not have to play Queen Mary’s Script in order to play this game. In fact, it’s better if you play this one first as QMS spoils some things for this game.

Features::
- Handdrawn graphics similar to other MT games
- Falcao Pearl ABS fighting system
- A few small side quests that lead to bonus content
- End game bonuses
- Horror elements??
