The Amazing Digital Circus is an indie animated show about an odd group of players, who are forced to complete different bizarre missions. They can’t leave, don’t really need to eat, and some are losing their minds. But what were the stories that inspired this colorful prison? In this video I'll be tracing back to the possible and concrete inspirations for the show, and how these older stories shaped the one we love today. This is an in-depth video essay on the darker cruel inspirations behind The Amazing Digital Circus, from "I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream" video game and short story, to "Popee the Performer" even including RWBY and ENA and other creepy digital favorites!
