About Jester / King

The court jester, Madion, wakes up by the king's lifeless body. A demonic curse has struck down every true citizen, and driven others to madness. Madion is torn between seeking the truth, helping the survivors, and a desire to escape. From the author of Demonheart comes a new visual novel in a similarly dark setting, dealing with themes of murder, love, trust, and deceit.

Features:

  • Story of over 90.000 words.
  • Important lines are voiced over.
  • Choices to build, or re-build, a relationship with one of three characters: Lucille, Calix, or Edwina.
  • Collect "keys" - bits of information needed to progress the story and discover the truth.
  • The cursed kingdom is looping in time - use the flowchart to change your choices.

Characters:

You play as Madion, the jester who has lost his memories. Having been forced into a life of chaos, uncertainty and deceit, Madion starts off feeling conflicted, jealous and spiteful. He needs to let go of his dark thoughts and redeem himself. You can make choices for him, affecting his relationships with the other characters.
Lady Lucille was forced to live in the king's palace while he waged war on her homeland. Quiet and cunning, she adapted quickly. Lucille believes she understands Madion, and is always there to support him.
An orphan of common origins, Calix received a favorable place in the palace thanks to his good looks and charisma. Some believed he was involved with the king, but Calix's eyes were set elsewhere.
As the king's alchemist, Edwina used to follow His Majesty's every command. She is strict and slightly paranoid, with a cold exterior, but Madion sees a different side of her.

✦ AI summary

Players praise this visual novel for its engaging, twist-filled story with a unique time-looping premise, compelling characters that avoid typical tropes, and excellent writing that keeps them invested throughout. The main criticisms are that the art can look rough around the edges, romance options are minimal with most dialogue shared across routes, and the branching system can be confusing without a guide, occasionally breaking immersion when the game doesn't acknowledge previously discovered information.

A plot focused VN with a dash of romance. I'm not normally a fan of time looping, but I really liked it in this. Pros -The story is a lot of fun, a unique premise. -The characters feel unique, no troupes. -The flowchart system is great. -The voice acting is amusing, the king is my fave. Cons -The art is a little rough round the edges. -The branching for romance is minimal, a few lines of dialogue couple cgs, and a variation of the ending, more of a common route for the whole game. I really liked it, can't wait for the remake :D

This was one of the best visual novels I've ever read. The story was full of twists and turns, I was glued to my chair reading it, it was so intriguing. The writing is truely great, so I am definitely considering playing the studio's other games too. My only problem is that (without a guide) it is easy to mess up the linear storyline if you are jumping between branches and it is meant to be played in a different order. (I've checked out the secret cave before I confronted Lucille and the game did not recognise that I already knew certain truths. It was a bit immersion breaking.)

This was a very interesting way of telling a story. I can't say too much because it will spoil it. It was an engaging story that kept me wondering how things would resolve right up until the very end.

Truly a fantastic game. I wish Rolling Crown would make more Male protag games, as it seems like this is the only one they've made as of writing. It may have been a while since I last played the game but I assure you that it's worth your time to play it, if your interested in it. I'll update my review... if I remember to, after I play the game again.
