You're visiting the circus-themed Exhibit of Smiles. There's some music playing. Interact with the exhibits to progress, and explore and enjoy to your heart's content. But whatever you do, do not upset the clown.Exhibit of Sorrows is a point-and-click horror game created by adayofjoy. It is available for free on its itch.io page.As the game takes only a few minutes to play through and is virtually impossible to talk about properly without giving away all the major twists, all spoilers are unmarked. It is highly recommended that you check it out personally before reading the rest of this page as many of the trope names listed below are spoilers by themselves. You have been warned!

And Then John Was a Zombie

comment
And Then John Was a Zombie: The ending seems to heavily imply that the protagonist is turned into yet another attraction in the Exhibit of Sorrows by the Monster Clown antagonist.

Fingore: Getting Mr. Handy's red key requires doing his finger-counting game again - and then breaking said fingers one by one. The last one several times.

Spoiler Title
 Exhibit of Sorrows (Video Game) / int_41be2c1b
comment
Spoiler Title: The game tries to slowly build up a creepy atmosphere before it finally reveals itself to be a horror game by shifting from friendly bright and colorful graphics to a much more dark and violent setting as it goes on. Of course, with a title like Exhibit of Sorrows any moderately savvy player will likely have it pegged as a horror game long before the first jumpscare happens.

Would Hurt a Child
 Exhibit of Sorrows (Video Game) / int_479d4e5a
comment
Would Hurt a Child: The changing pictures behind the clown dolls on your second round in the exhibits heavily imply that the portrait clown lured children into his exhibit, killed them in cruelly ironic ways that mirrored what they liked about it most and then turned them into clown dolls.

Backtracking: After you finish the exhibit the first time, the lights suddenly go out and you're forced to walk all the way back to the emergency switch. Following that, you have to go through every exhibit again, only this time it's not nearly as fun or cute.

Monster Clown
 Exhibit of Sorrows (Video Game) / int_932da128
comment
Monster Clown: The portrait clown and the Jack-In-The-Box both reveal themselves as malicious otherworldly monsters in the end. The clown regularly lures children into his exhibit to turn them into exhibits. What exactly the Jack-in-the-Box's deal is isn't even hinted at, but he's terrifying in his own right.

Foreshadowing
 Exhibit of Sorrows (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The clowns' nameplates change after the lights go out in ways that foreshadow their eventual fates. Ms. Stretch's nameplate changes to "What is the furthest she could reach?" and her arm snaps off when trying to press a button that is out of her range. Mr. Handy's nameplate changes to "8, 7, 6, 5...," and the player must break his eight fingers one at a time to progress. Mr. Washy's nameplate changes to "Nothing feels better than staying clean," and he is killed when the faucet breaks and dispenses a mysterious black liquid into his tub instead of water. Mr. Floaty's nameplate changes to "He liked balloons, how they float, how they pop," and the air pump inflates him to the point of literally popping like a balloon.

And I Must Scream
 Exhibit of Sorrows (Video Game) / int_a8a04f6f
comment
And I Must Scream: The clown dolls are heavily implied to be former visitors whom the portrait clown has turned into attractions in the exhibit after murdering them in gruesome ways. Even worse, their changing facial expressions suggest that they're somewhat alive in their new forms, but can't move, rendering them unable to defend themselves when you're forced to torture them to get their red keys.

comment
Sadist: The portrait clown takes a disturbing pleasure in hurting children, going so far as to sabotage the exhibits in a way that forces you to maim and hurt the clown dolls to get the red keys, when before you only had to perform silly games that did not require harming them in any way. He also happily describes their last living moments on their signs to you after you're done destroying them.

Scary Jack-in-the-Box: The jack-in-the-box seems to be one of the few outright malevolent entities in the exhibit, especially once it's eventually confirmed to be some type of horrifying monster towards the end of the game.

An Arm and a Leg
 Exhibit of Sorrows (Video Game) / int_d028e0da
comment
An Arm and a Leg: On Ms. Stretch's exhibit, you have to pull one of her arms onto a button to proceed. This works fine the first time you do it, but after the second time the button suddenly moves further away. Unfortunately, Ms. Stretch's flexibility has a limit and trying to reach the distant button tears her arm clean off. It's implied by the pictures hanging behind her that the clown did a very similar thing to her when she was still human.

Blank White Void: The portrait clown seems to trap the player in one during the ending of the game. Given the implications that all of the attractions in the Exhibit of Sorrows are children that were imprisoned by the clown it seems that the same fate has now befallen the player character.
