Steam review snapshots
The Jester is a 45 minute long indie horror walking simulator where you walk around a house and solve a few minor…this is not a exploration/adventure game, I think, this is not even a game.Because there is no story, no explanation, no motivation (well, I had one – to finish it quickly).I enjoyed the VHS filter and the atmosphere was creepy.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, horror filtered by dark, tense, psychological horror.
