Jester / King

三个攻略对象戏份也差太多了 剧情里Lucille和Edwina感觉经常被抛下 真结局章节里在距离结局还有一半的时候就完全脱离了 情节放在现在不算新颖但也绝对达标了 叙述也很流畅 不会觉得无聊 虽然标签里有暗示这是个黑暗故事但是部分剧情处理却很童话 zeno能加入dlc就好了 两位妹子的剧情也完全可以再来一些 太少了 但感觉故事确实已经落下帷幕很难就再增加了 是值得购买也存在遗憾的作品

The story isn't sinister enough for my personal taste and what i'm used to from the previous games but that is personal taste and so far i've just played one route with a happy ending. So that view might change (hopefully). I like the Artstyle of the previous games more but in the end that is also just personal taste. The game is decent. Defently something to pick up and play. There is however one major thing I have to complain about: The game does not create savefiles or asks you at the end if you wish to save your progress. So I ended up with one savefile that is pretty much from the beginnning and have to play it all over again if i wish to make some changes and see how they play out. Not saying that the game needs an autosavefunction but there should at least be the question: Do you wish to save your progress? at the end of the story.

Jester/King is a VN that I have a little difficulty recommending even though my over all experience is positive. This is a story that is best experienced blind, but here is as spoiler-free of a rundown as I can make it: Madion is the jester for the King Damian of Quilissia and a frequent target of cruel king's abuse. After losing consciousness, Madion awakens amid the ruins of the once opulent palace near the slain body of the king. He had no memory of what transpired to cause both the king's death and destruction of the kingdom. After wandering empty palace, he connects with the only other three people left alive. No one has any memories of what happened, but everyone is hiding secrets. Madion's three companions are: Edwina, the royal alchemist, who seems to know the most about what's going on but is also the least trustful of Madion's allies. Lucille, a noble prisoner of war being held hostage in Quillisia, who seems innocent at first glance but has the greatest motive to want the king dead. Finally, Calix, an orphaned street urchin that the king has taken a special interest for reasons unknown. From here, Madion must navigate the story's dialogue options to uncover the eleven clues needed to solve the mystery and maybe fall in love with one of his companions. While I enjoyed untangling the convoluted plot, I feel that it is a lot stronger in concept than execution. It has some pretty severe pacing pacing issues. The first few hours of the story are a bit of a slog as Madion slowly wandering the abandoned castle with no clue what is going on until the story hits it's first major climax that sheds light on what transpired. The rest of the story moves at a decent clip, doling out just enough tasty revelations to keep you intrigued as to where this is all going. I do feel like the script is a bit too wordy in the sense it gets weighed down by Madion's thoughts. He mentally chews over every interaction he has, judging how trustworthy he finds each new droplet of information he gets from other characters, and I do think this tendency could have been safely reduced without losing much. Over all, I enjoyed my time with Jester/King and felt the plot came together well enough to justify the slow beginning and the pacing issues caused by too much exposition, but I can't really see myself returning to this one to try to get a different character ending.

A very good VN with an interesting plot.

Loved it!

Bardzo przyjemna powieść wizualna, ma ona ciekawy aspekt polegający na tym, że po przejściu danej sceny mamy możliwość cofnięcia się do tej samej sytuacji, z dodatkową opcją dialogową. Fabuła jest momentami przewidywalna, chociaż nie brakuje tutaj orginalności. Niestety dużym minusem jest to, że większość wyborów nie wpływa na przebieg wydarzeń, tylko na scenkę z zakończeniem i relacje końcowe z innymi postaciami. W mojej opinii cena jest trochę zbyt duża, polecam zakupić na promocji.

Very exciting! I liked this game.

Good game with a very good story.

J'ai apprécier le retour en arrière possible systématique, et l'histoire pleines de rebonds. Peu de romance par ailleurs, Et pas assez de personnage à draguer, notamment l'archer sexy : oublie-le, il ne sera pas pour nous !

In two words, absolutely stunning. Lamb (and the team) really outdid themselves on this visual novel. While not a very extensive read, the story still feels very immersive, and the choices along the way are impactful enough to make you take a few moments to consider each time (and can be looped back to, if needed). I’ll echo a lot of things others have already mentioned as positives: Strong narrative, fun branching system, fleshed-out-but-not-overly-stereotypical characters, polished visuals, enchanting music that I have adopted into my personal relaxation playlists, all tied together in a unique and interesting plot. As a personal highlight, I would have to mention the main character Madion’s inner dialogue. While some would maybe prefer to just move the story along, I found that Madion’s constant questioning of his surroundings, his companions, his past and even his own motives gave the novel more depth, and that it reflected the general suspicious atmosphere of the story quite well. Often, these questions made me realize there were possibilities that I myself would never consider, but that should be considered nonetheless. It all fits the murder mystery theme to a tee – and in the end, there’s always answers. I very much enjoyed reading and playing Jester / King, and would recommend anyone who wants to continue their streak on visual novels or maybe try one out for the first time, to pick this one up.
