FREAK is a Wretched & Alone game about surviving in a superficial world that doesn't accept you and how resilient you are. It is a game about the problems that, even though it is set in an era that we should have already overcome (the 1930s), are still present in today's society: hatred, rejection, abuse and violence towards anyone who steps out of what is socially established as good or correct. In addition, you will encounter sensitive subjects such as malformation, bullying, drug and alcohol abuse, harassment, prostitution, humiliation, marginalization, human experimentation, death and suicide.

FREAK
You are a Freak from Rupert Danworth's Sideshow Circus "Cabaret of Atrocities". Your family hid you from public view for the first five years of your life. The next five, in an attempt to live a normal, ordinary life in the neighborhood, were a constant of harassment, aggression, hatred and rejection.
Compelled by the situation, and in a painful attempt to provide you with a better life, your mother abandoned you to your fate at the doors of the Teratological Society of London, an association of doctors and physicians specializing in rare diseases.
They gave you shelter, food and some basic education. In exchange, you were to be the subject of study and experimentation by the doctors. In time, your name began to be known. They talked about you in the newspapers, in the gossip mills, in the opium dens. That caught the attention of Rupert Danworth, the famous owner of the Cabaret of Atrocities, who did not hesitate to make a place for you in his show, making you a star.
And even though you now have a somewhat better life, you still suffer from the hatred, harassment and rejection of the people around you.
