Jest Messters
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
What if you're cursed to make others laugh?
The 'Jester' is an entity who grants children happiness, but he was just another persona of myth... Until one day he appears on your windowsill and bestows his powers upon you.
Now you're stuck with a pun-curse and sadly, zero friends who share your sense of humor.
A few years later, you are transferred to the prestigious Marney High, where you meet a bunch of quirky classmates– some who might be just as weird as you.
But be careful who you trust. As sinister plots start to unravel around you, you find yourself tangled in a web of secrets and schemes. And maybe... your curse is the key to solve them all?

The game is SOOOO cooollll!!! It made me laugh a bunch of times and I LOOOOVE the characters and story!!! I'm currently on the start of the field trip, and the fact that it's a demo scares me that it might end too sooooon already 😭 I hope Lynne gets a detailed model, too, tho! Her outfit looks a little.. cartoonish, compared to the rest of the characters, lol. Amazing game!!
Thank you for playing, Nita!! Lynne will get a detailed model in the updated demo, don't worry! You can see a screenshot of her fully-rendered sprite in our latest devlog!
I really like it but I'm sad because there's no Vietnamese 😭😭

It was a fantastic game! This was the first otome game I used, I wonder when the full game will come out and how much it will cost
We estimate it to be released around Q1 2027 if all goes well, and as for the pricing, it's still undecided 😅
Thanks for the reply, I realized that the price is not much 😅 I'm not English, so I didn't know how much dollars were in our country.
I LOVE NIX. I WANT TO MEET HIM AGAIN AND ALSO THIS GAME IS AMAZING I LOVE THE WHOLE PART
Thanks for playing!! <3
This game is so good! I absolutely loved it. Rico definitely won my heart. However, Matt has a charisma, and I get the feeling he's hiding something! RAAH, I can't wait for more. It genuinely felt like a summer school adventure, including the Brainrot jokes! Thanks for your work!
Hehe thanks for playing and leaving a comment, Lexi! Glad to know you enjoyed our silly game ^^
