Critic Reviews
Nindie Spotlight
By Justin NationA meeting of well-written characters, some unnerving moment, and classic point-and-click adventure beats
La Orden del Pixel
By Darío GadeaVlad Circus: Descend Into Madness is a title that reminds us that madness can wear big shoes, white gloves, have a pale face and a red nose, but be far from making us laugh. It is a delicate title that brings together several elements to shape its mechanics and thus keep players in suspense. It is a shame that at times it is inevitable to disconnect from the central axis by entertaining us with actions that ultimately do not end up defining the protagonist or his intentions.
GameLuster
