Rating: ★★★☆☆ (7.4/10) The Jester is a short VHS-style horror game that delivers exactly what you’d expect for its $4 price tag. It’s simple, spooky, and works well if you’re looking for quick horror content or just a brief scare. The atmosphere sets the tone nicely, and the jump scares hit at first though after a while, you can start to predict when they’re coming. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a fun, bite sized horror experience worth checking out for the cost.
The Jester propose une bonne dose d'horreur ! Les jumpscares s'enchainent et l'ambiance est pesante. Une légére bande sonore en arrière plan accentue cette sordide ambiance. Le style rétro VHS fonctionne plutôt bien, les énigmes sont relativement simples. En revanche, il y a un manque cruel de narration. On n'a pas les tenants et aboutissants ce qui frustre pas mal l'expérience une fois finie. Aussi, le jeu est quand même un peu trop court. Malgré ses défauts, les joueurs en manque de frissons trouveront plaisir à travers The Jester. Ma vidéo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUoffpQDz9o

Ein nette kurzes Horror Spiel,Spielzeit 30-60 min. https://youtu.be/h2Iq9AzJXGE
I have a genuine phobia of clowns and this game failed to scare me. The clowns just standing around in the environment were way scarier than any of the poorly done (and very predictable) jump scares. That said, this game definitely feels more like a test project/demo than an actual game. Puzzles were way too easy and predictable (except for the tilting maze puzzle - that was fun and nostalgic). The story was severely lacking and not much is explained, though I imagine it's difficult to do that in such a short game. Regardless, what the main character has to do feels very meaningless and overall the game just felt like a very cheap and unimpressive jump scare.
质量真的真得真的真的很 不好玩
Absolutely terrible. Why the heck did you add a difficult marble puzzle. On stream we spend 25 mins and couldnt get throught this. I wish i'd never purchased this terrible game.
Ich empfehle es wirklich nur, weil ich das Typische ( Horrorhaus ) mag. Wir kennen es doch alle, dass immer selbe Haus in denen wir die Laufwege in und auswendig kennen. Grafik ist Interessant. Auf jeden Fall die Filmkörnung abschalten!!! Story existiert nicht. Habe es für 3.39€ gekauft was Definitiv viel zu viel ist. Kauft es für 0.99€ dann würde der Preis passen. Vielen Dank für dieses Erlebnis.
This house again... Marble in the maze, uh no. Apparently you can die at some point. Again, no. Not taking the time to properly investigate this game before purchasing was a mistake.
5/10
