9/10
Once upon a Jester is absolutely delightful from start to finish, packed with utterly charming characters and fabulous musical numbers.

7/10
A fantasy musical adventure which has big laughs to match its big heart, while being built around charming, if shallow, gameplay mechanics.

A Wonderful Time
This game is unique and charming. The humour really landed for me and I enjoyed the music. Gameplay is pretty simple but sometimes that is appreciated. I will return to this game in the future to try and get more achievements. Thank you for making this!

tedious qte-fest
awful voice acting to match the awful writing. really slow movement and there's a lot of walking around mostly empty areas. annoying typewriter effect for text. unskippable cutscenes, songs and some dialog. tons of qte (the only thing besides walking and talking), including timed choices. only checkpoints, no manual saving.

Not a very good game
The graphics and the idea are ok, nothing special but not too bad. However, this game might have the worst quick time events I've ever seen in a game. The gameplay is also nothing special and the controls (X to return, for example) are strange. I'll give three stars for the idea and graphics, but remove one star for its faults. When there are so many good games out there, I don't think this game is worth your time.

The Best Musical Theater Game Ever!!
A perfect music adventure in 4.6 hours! This is a MUST-PLAY artwork in the whole life. I was got by the music in trailer, and "wow, who's so creative", I bought it without doubt, it didn't disappointed me. A very clean art style, the fun and warm plots, the perfect cast credit, the AWESOME musics. The key assigns are perfect, typical wasd moving and space bar as acting, c/x/f as function keys, satisfied. I visited their website, creaters are musician just like us. I'm doing designs but I'm super fan of musical drama too.
