Yeah i confirm it

I was in my country's capital today (school trip and stuff) and I sent this pic to my friends with caption "oh no, it's this evil company that's sending people to digital circus"

This real life C&A is an European clothing store founded by two brothers, which is a pretty funny coincidence lol

A job interview at C&A

... surely this company isn't hiding some skeletons in its closet is it?

[dnpanimationstudioclone]

I really dig the idea of the gang being former C&A workers.

Can you guess who’s suppose to be who? Not sure they could…

My own Amazing Digital Circus idea.

Since we're aware of the company, C&A the company responsible for creating the video game.

However, I had this idea on my head since it's pilot came out--so I'm going to bring here to you!!!

The origins of C&A:

Our story begins with its founders, Cain Matthews and Abel Middleton the creators of the--what else? The Amazing Digital Circus so here there are origin stories.

Cain Matthews was born on October 1952 in a small town of Massachusetts somewhere near Salem. Growing up, Cain loved going to circuses and dreams one day being or creating one. However, he loved to draw funny characters, when he gets scared he often had his stuffed bunny by his side. What was the bunny's name you may ask?

JAX...

During his childhood he loved to draw himself in a circus with characters which would later become the characters we know in love.

In the late sixties and early seventies he studied Child Psychology during his times at college. However, Cain met a roommate named Abel Middleton who later become his partner and friend later in life.

As the mid seventies to early eighties came around, the two had ideas on what makes a kid happy--Cain want back to his childhood and had this idea, puppets!

Around 1983 they formed C&A it was a small non-profit organization at the start, it was only for children's entertainment. This was before the era of console games, Cain and Abel would perform puppet shows for children. The characters appeared first was Jax, Caine, and Bubble.

As the decade shifted to the nineties, Cain and Abel saw the rise of hand held devices and video game consoles without going to the arcade. Also, in that decade--CGI was blowing up in popularity so the two made a decision WHY so them their work if THEY show their world to them???

In 1994, they shifted their non-profit organization to a video game company where they begin working on their magnum opus.

1996, the two launched The Amazing Digital Circus which became a national phenomenon around the world. Its popularity was so big it had toys, action figures, plushies, pasta, storybooks, coloring books, and audio books! Also, they pitched a children's animated pilot around 1998-99 but it got rejected...

However, not all things have to successful...

As the new millennium rolled around something weird happened...Cain installed a new chip on the virtual headset to make it more into the Y2K craze of that time. It almost seemed like it worked but something went wrong, terribly wrong...

2001-02

There were some new reports of people including children experiencing hallucinations, nightmares of the circus and the characters from it after taking off the headset which sparked a massive controversy toward the two.

Cain said to Abel and to the employees to "shrug it off" however Abel argued that this controversy needed to be taken seriously but that's just the final crack that broke the camel's back. Cain grew more power hungry and aggressive and started carelessly on focusing on money, quantity, he stated he doesn't care about kids like as he was no longer the kind, generous man Abel knew.

2002-03: The final years

C&A started to experience toxic work placement from Caine's attitude, projects were rushed, updates had glitches which made the controversy worse.

However, the FTC sued C&A for intoxicating children and adults with "hallucinogenic substances" in their devices for $2,000,000. Finally, in 2003 the comapny closed down for good...During that year, Digital Circus merchandise were recalled and never to be shown again...

The next year, Caine vanished without a trace without any sightings during that time there were numerous disappearances following the year C&A shut down.

For Abel, he suffered through drug overdose, alcohol addiction as he became a mess, however he started to go through a sober recovery up to now.

Yet, he can still see the characters...

The Amazing Digital Circus is owned by Gooseworx, and GLITCH Productions.

Ok with some people pointing out that Caine might be a human because he can't tell the difference between the humans and npcs, it's time to consider that the 'A' in C&A isn't Able.

My favorite of these theories pointed out that Caine could have been the first to go into the circus, hence why he's omnipotent. Some say he's lost his memory like the other humans (which is debatable), but what if he hasn't lost his memories and is just choosing to live in the circus because it's a better life for him than real life? That would be enough motivation to 'wipe' the other humans' memories to keep them from discovering how to leave the circus and take him back to the real world.

With this being said, what if Pomni was the 'A' in C&A? Many people I've seen think it's possible that Pomni is the last person from C&A to be sucked into the digital circus, but what if this is because she's the last resort? First her coworker disappears, and slowly all the other staff begin to disappear as well until she's the only one left from C&A who hasn't touched the digital circus game.

If Pomni is one of the main game devs for digital circus like Caine, maybe that explains why she was able to find the exit door when the other circus members couldn't. It also explains how Pomni was able to escape the grid backrooms with item collision even though she doesn't have the memories of what item collision in games is.

What do you all think?

[dnpanimationstudioclone]

Idea. What if all the humans were former C&A workers who were either convinced to go or forced into the game.

Ragatha's the most social and friendly of the performers. Perhaps worked as a receptionist or was in customer service. She could’ve also been part of the HR department (Jax-LADY WE GOT TRAPPED IN A VIDEO GAME, PRETTY SURE THAT COUNTS AS AN HR VIOLATION!

Jax(wears overalls, gloves and well with his surroundings and seems to have keys to lots of places) perhaps was a technician or janitor(warning spoilers, in the office Pomni was in looked like those lights could've used some fixing and also looked messy like it needed a cleanup, no one was around to that anymore). Perhaps tried the headset out of curiosity or it was forced unto him when he found out something he wasn't suppose to while working when no one else was there.

Gangle-An animator or working part of the animation department. Hence the emphasis on her expression masks and her name based on movement. Perhaps wanted to test to see how the player can move and express.

Zooble- Involved in the art department, perhaps involved in character designs such as avatar customization.

Kinger-Probably behind the game as the main programmer or even the creator of the game.

Pomni- An unfortunate game tester, perhaps was already working there as a desk worker who was tempted with a good pay and a chance to experience a new world from the one she felt lost and unwanted in.

The rest of the previous performers were also once former workers and/or testers who got tricked into or forced like the current ones.

What do u think? Any ideas on what you think they did back in the real world? I’d love to know💖
