Launch Window

The Jester and the Madman is an enjoyable Lovecraftian morsel that may feature somewhat flat characters and dialogues that can feel a bit stiff at times, but it makes up for it with its well-crafted aesthetics and inventive puzzles.

Launch Window

For anyone yearning for a return to old-school storytelling, moody graphics, and logical puzzles, The Jester and the Madman ticks all the right boxes. It’s clear the developers know exactly the kind of experience they want to offer. Even if the graphics are intentionally gritty and the story expects you to come in with a little background knowledge, the adventure succeeds by focusing on exploration and logic, not just superficial gloss.
