The Jester is a 45 minute long indie horror walking simulator where you walk around a house and solve a few minor puzzles while "The Jester" teases you and gives you a jumpscare every 10 minutes or so. There is not much else to the game, it just throws you right into the fire without any story or explanation. + The game has an unnerving and disturbing aesthetic throughout. + One of the puzzles was original and fun. + Multiple endings, both disturbing. + Creepy sound effects and background noise. - The doors / levels do not connect or make sense. - No real story. - A few of the character models and jumpscares look cheesy. - There are way too many filters going on graphically, hurts and strains the eyes. Even when you turn off all the filters in the settings there are still many on the screen somehow. I'm not sure the settings even work. Try it if you want for a buck or two but it ain't anything special! Overall: 6/10
