Best friends Sok & Jester devise a mischievous scheme to steal the Royal Diamond!
To complete their master plan, they must start an improv theatre show and outperform every other act - including their rivals, Hofnar & Bok. Only becoming the best show in the kingdom will get them invited to the Royal Theatrical Spectacle in the Royal Palace, where the king keeps his precious gem.

They embark on a grand adventure across a fantasy kingdom, meeting tons of wacky characters, performing improvised shows and singing their hearts out. Along the way, they unintentionally discover the freedom and joy of musical theatre. Will the pair change their wicked ways or do whatever it takes to get rich?

BEFRIEND WACKY CHARACTERS

Meet and befriend tons of quirky characters - all fully voiced!
A friendly Wendingo, a tree looking for its roots and a blob of pesto to name a few.

DIVE INTO A VIBRANT FANTASY KINGDOM

It’s always adventure time in hand-crafted locations like the cosy Dorp Town, the dark mysterious Woudwoods, and the radio-obsessed Stad City.

An original soundtrack, written and performed by the developers is here to burrow in your ear and never leave!

Charming and silly

This game is quite simple but well worth a play. The game loop is pretty much put on shows and select improv options that most please the crowd until you earn enough bouquets to progress the story. As you explore the town to find out what the crowd would like that night you meet a whole host of fun eccentric characters and unlock new stickers to put on your show posters. It is all very silly and fun.

Pretty good

When I first started this, I was somewhat turned off by the voice acting and dialogue, figuring this was yet another cheap intie title that somehow miraculously got backed, but over time it kind of grew on me a little. The concept is good and delivers ok. You basically figure out what a town likes or doesn't like and then inject it into your performances. There are QTE events and choices to make, which affect the current play and the audience's reaction. However, there don't appear to be any long-term or end-game affects. So, it's still pretty linear. The game will randomly break out into musical cinematics, none of which are skippable. The plot itself starts off interesting, but it eventually cumulates into a happy ending that feels empty. It's definitely wholesome, but I was expecting some kind of crazy twist, which never happened. Overall, this is a relaxing game about music and theater. It's not a title players should take too seriously.

Adorable game!

While it isn't a long game, it is a very fun game, it's got a very improv feel as some lines a flubbed on purpose, but also because it has a very whimsical, storybook feel that would be right akin to a children's tale. I recommend this!
