About the Game

In Jester: A Foolish Ritual , players find themselves trapped in a dark and eerie castle cursed by a malevolent jester. To escape, they must explore, collect ancient runes, and perform rituals to lift the curse—all while staying quiet enough not to alert their supernatural tormentor.

Each session offers randomized layouts and objectives, making every run unpredictable and replayable. The Jester's AI adapts to your progress, becoming more cunning and dangerous the closer you get to victory.

Key Features

• Up to 4-Player Online Co-op– Face the Jester alone or with friends.

• Proximity Voice Chat– Whisper, shout, or stay silent; every sound could be your last.

• Immersive Audio Design– Experience heart-pounding tension as the Jester stalks you.

• High Replayability– New rune and key locations every playthrough.

• Difficulty Modes– Choose your level of terror.

• Adaptive AI– The Jester learns and evolves, making each ritual more intense.
