## Description
No one knows where the Carnival of Curiosities will appear. Every five years, it is rumored to emerge as if from the very air. It can never be found by the same soul twice. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Catalina (re-nameable) has always been enthralled by the mystique of this transitory carnival filled with dark beauty. One night, she finds herself there, as if by magick. Eager to experience it all, she catches the attention of four alluring performers.

Her enchanted night turns into a nightmare when she discovers the carnival has a dark side. Carnival goers go insane, attack each other, and mutate into alien-like horrors.

Can Catalina survive or escape the Carnival or Curiosities before it consumes her?
