About:

Jester: A Foolish Ritual is an upcoming co-op survival horror game, in which you and up to 3 friends can explore a vast cursed castle, uncover ancient runes, and perform rituals to lift the Jester’s evil curse. Each run offers unique challenges, increased replayability, and more dangerous threats as the evil Jester adapts to your progress.

Lift the evil curse

You awaken in an abandoned castle, trapped with no way out. The only path to freedom lies in performing a sacred ritual to banish the monstrous Jester who haunts these halls.

Each run will be different, you will have to try your best and adapt as you venture through the cursed castle. Watch out for traps the castle still has some of its old security measures active.

Make sure to look where you go since the Jester might leave some of his jack boxes lurking around, and when you trigger them he will come for you.

Work together

Play solo or team up with friends for a terrifying co-op experience. Stay together for safety or split up to search faster. But this might make it easier for the Jester to catch you.

Communication is key and the proximity voice chat won't make it easier. So sometimes you might need to stick together and make a plan before you all start searching.

With each item you pick up the Jester will become increasingly more angry, because he knows you are one step closer to ending the ritual. So play it smart when he is near you.

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 matters. The Jester has a keen ear, so don't make too much noise, or you'll attract him.
• Immersive Audio Design - Feel your heartbeat as the Jester closes in.
• Replayability - Each run is different with new rune locations, different spawns, and moving key locations.
• Difficulty Modes - Choose the level of terror that suits you.
• Adaptive AI - The Jester grows more dangerous the closer you get to finishing the ritual.
