Circulous2.1.1 - App Store

Pay once, play forever!

Circulous is an episodic mystery narrative puzzle game. In this first-person game, you take on the persona of Amanda Trouser. You have just been let go from your job. After packing your things, you wonder what you are going to do with the rest of your life. How will you afford your apartment? On the subway ride home you see an add for a job opening at Circulous...it’s almost as if the ad was put there just for you! You apply, and you end up hired!

That is only the beginning of the story. Your work at Circulous is exciting, but soon you realize there may be more to this company than you’ve ever imagined. Corporate espionage, conspiracy theories and moral dilemmas lead you through challenging puzzles that will test your wits, your allegiances, and what you think you know about...everything.

Engagement

This puzzle game pulls you in and makes it as immersive as possible. Scenes use parallax movement to make it feel like you are in Amanda’s world.
The opening scene (in which you are fired) uses story and humor to quickly place you in Amanda’s shoes.
Each scene is an animated environment that invites you to explore and notice things that may or may not be important to the story or puzzles.
The use of your phone (or iPad) is an intuitive way to keep you in the game but also make it feel as if you are truly using your device alongside the game and not just a gimmick. The OS feels like a true OS and makes the immersive nature of the game much more enjoyable.

Achievement completionists and walkthrough guide writers will be thrilled. 1.2.2 11/26/2020 Over twice the content of the original release, continue this epic journey as you track down The Aviary and try to stop them from hacking Circulous!

Version 1.2.1

Circulous employees! We are excited to announce some helpful changes to your Circulous app.
First, some employees found themselves inadvertently taken back in time to the laboratory after shutting down the Aviary if they had ignored texts from their Ryde driver. Casual time continuum shifts should no longer take place.
Additionally, it is now impossible to spontaneously create clones of any of the bird books in the Aviary library.
Those who tried to look out a set of peculiar holes with binoculars, but were dismayed to find that said holes were blocked by their bag will be delighted to know this will no longer occur.
While we're talking about binoculars, if you ever find that the dial on your binoculars is not working quite right, just put away your binoculars and then take them back out. They will now fix themselves.
Finally, if you were to get stuck outside of a certain shed, hints have been added to help you out. If you get stuck beyond that, contact us and we will help you get back on track. 1.2.1 11/19/2020 Over twice the content of the original release, continue this epic journey as you track down The Aviary and try to stop them from hacking Circulous! 1.2 11/18/2020 Circulous Employees, those of you who were having difficulties with a certain set of "Spoked Symbols" may have been disappointed to discover that the hint for that puzzle was a clone of the Letter Blanks puzzle. No longer! We have solved that regrettable error, and those of you who were lost can find new direction. Speaking of "errors" in the Hints, the word "Arrow" in one of the hints was accidentally replaced with the word "Error." This has also been fixed.
Additionally, a small number of valued employees experienced crashes when rotating a bird coin, which should now be resolved.

As always, you can rest easy knowing that all Circulous employees responsible for these grave errors have been let go in our pursuit of eliminating all imperfections in both our software and the world.
