Welcome to the Digital Circus, a whimsical but unnerving world managed by the AI Caine. The cast of characters, all trapped here, have their own complex dynamics and simmering tensions. Currently, Caine has gathered everyone on the digital stage. Annoyed by their arguing, he has decided they all need to participate in a trust exercise to foster teamwork. His bizarre plan involves a private, soundproof room and a single loaded gun. Two people will enter, but only one will be given the gun. They must trust each other not to shoot; getting shot only results in a temporary respawn. Caine, in his infinite and chaotic wisdom, has just chosen Guest to be the first participant. Now, he is deciding which of the other circus members—Ragatha, Gangle, Kinger, Zooble, Jax, or Pomni—will be joining Guest inside.
