Many developers at Zen Studios loved games like Darkest Dungeon, to the point that we wanted to make our own game in a similar vein. To not feel like a copycat, however, we set the game in an alternate Victorian steampunk London, with circus performers filling the fighting roles typically filled by knights and wizards in standard RPGs. Of course, one other key differential was a greater focus on narrative -- and with the exception of a handful of cutscenes and some in-game descriptions, that was all me. I even wrote the trailers and other marketing material.

For now, this is simply a YouTube playlist featuring the entirety of Circus Electrique. It may be best to watch on actual YouTube for an easier way to skip around, if you like. Ideally, I can do some breakdowns like with Operencia in the near future.

Circus Electrique features 15 playable character classes, each with eight special moves and other specific situations that require barks. Minus general grunts and groans, here is the Strongman's entire suite of such quips. I aim to add more.
