An Interactive Mystery by Amanda Tien
Release 2 / Serial number 090111 / Inform 7 build 5U92 (I6/v6.31 lib 6/12N)
The Carnival has an eerie silence to it at night. A breeze blows a flurry of flyers and some broken streamers. The absence of voices and laughter is highly apparent, although it seems that someone has left some of that cheery circus music on. However, it seems out of place in the dark. Some of the lights flicker above you. What a classy joint.
Of course, a creepy, low-priority carnival is where you get assigned for your first mission. Apparently, an acrobat went missing early this morning. Normally HQ would wait 24 hours, but the circus is packing up tomorrow. The Police Department sent you here as their most inexperienced officer...lucky you! All you have with you is your police badge in your front pocket. Maybe you should look for whoever's in charge of this dump. And you might as well show that badge off and get buddy-buddy with everyone you see - who knows what's really going on in this place?
In front of you, there is a huge, brightly-colored Yellow Tent. To the west, there seems to be the Midway. To the east, you can make out an Old Oak.
