Once Upon a Jester Reviews

I don't have it

Pesto is the Besto

I am a grumpy middle-aged man, but this game made me laugh out loud several times. When I wasn't laughing I was grinning. I loved this unique, bonkers and charming game. I'm sad that it's over.

Lots of improv fun! I liked seeing how the base idea of a play spiraled out into many directions based off what choices I made during improv. The songs are really nice! Totally recommend 🌟

This game is so cute, just like the previous game by this developer! In this game, you play as Jester and with his friend Sok you have to perform theater acts to wow the crowd and get enough flower bouquets so they can perform at the royal palace (for a special reason which is maybe a spoiler). During the theater acts, you can choose which way your story leads, and you need to complete certain actions (which is mostly pressing a button at the right time) to progress the act. The act can end poorly if you miss the action point, but you can choose your difficulty level at the settings (though in my case the chill mode is also a bit too fast for me lol) The overall story is good and sometimes a bit silly, but funny silly in my opinion (i dont get the horseleg witch joke but nvm hahaaa), but mostly the story is pretty wholesome and carries positive messages (i especially like the part where Jester stops a bully from harassing his competitor, say NO to BULLYING!), i really feel warm after finishing the game! Songs are everywhere in this game and they're pretty awesome in my opinion! From karaoke to cutscene songs to songs in the act to songs on the radio, everything is WOW The characters are likeable and most of them are funny and colorful, though some characters only show up for a short time which is sad but not a bad thing (i really like the ice cream trio and Hak and stam the tree with his punny tree jokes) The only things that i can see wrong with the game is that sometimes there's a minor glitch (for example in my case the wizard rainboy color sorta glides to Merl during the 1st meet, i thought it was his way of walking but later on he can walk normally), but they're not huge that will hinder the game, and also you can't skip the cutscenes or songs (i played the game again to try collect all the stickers). Other than that, no complaints, very good and interesting game with positively funny vibes, 10/10!
