Each has their own story to tell, and each can uncover pieces of the overall mystery. There are six playable characters ranging from a dramatic fortune teller to an escaped lab rat. As he explores the attractions, he can transfer his consciousness into another character in a similar way to Inscape's own Dark Eye (which I reviewed elsewhere on this site). Not even a mass murderer on the loose leaving piles of dead bodies on the floor could stop his upbeat outlook of the experience. You begin the game as little Timmy who is visiting the carnival for an evening of unfaltering enjoyment. Death is not always the end of the game, though, as in one particular scene you can possess your killer. You can essentially possess the different characters you meet which will open up different locations and objectives. What is interesting here is the use of multiple characters. There are now puzzles to solve, you need to use a little strategy to win the game and you can actually die. While still a showcase for the band and their Freak Show inspired ditties, it is more of an actual game. Bad Day on the Midway is a little different to The Resident's previous interactive release.
