About the Game
Jester: A Foolish Ritual is a co-op survival horror game. You play as one of four knights resurrected in a cursed castle, and your only hope of escape is to uncover hidden runes, complete the ritual, and break the Jester’s wicked curse.

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 while watching out for lingering traps. The Jester might even leave some of his jack boxes lurking around. If 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 and to use the proximity voice chat, or split up to search faster. Communication is key but beware that the Jester doesn't hear you.

With each item you pick up the Jester will become increasingly more aggresive, because he knows you are one step closer to ending the ritual.

Key features

  • Up to 4 Player Online Co-op: You don't have to take on the Jester alone.

  • Proximity Voice Chat: Wandering off too far might get you lost and all by yourself.

  • Replayability: Each run will feel different, so stay on your toes.

  • Gamemode Difficulties: Play whatever difficulty suits you best.

  • Immersive Audio: Feel AND hear your heartbeat when the Jester gets a hold of you.

  • Adaptive enemy behaviour: The Jester will adapt and get stronger as you get closer to the end.
