Is The Freak Circus a horror game?
Yes. The Freak Circus is a psychological horror visual novel with a yandere (obsessive-love) core. It leans on unease, obsession and disturbing imagery rather than pure jump-scares.

Sources: itch.io (Garula) official page + content warnings
The game carries content warnings for violence, obsessive/controlling "yandere" behaviour, and cannibalism. It is not a light-hearted romance despite its circus-romance framing.
If you are sensitive to those themes, go in knowing the tone is deliberately unsettling.
