I was browsing my pile of shame of unplayed games when I stumbled upon this one which I received for free some time ago and thought "Well, might just give it a try!" I'm glad I did. You join Jester and Sok on their journey to become the kingdom's greatest improv theater stars and help them to steal the treasure hidden in the royal castle. The story is rather shallow and doesn't take itself seriously at all - which is maybe the game's biggest strength. The game has a lot of funny/silly moments. Some gags are completely unexpected and bizarre, some are subtle, some are in-your-face, others are way too real. I caught myself laughing at them more than once. The characters and especially the voices are adorable and likeable, and even though the game is rather short, I grew attached to the protagonists. Game-play-wise, you walk around town to talk to other characters, advancing the story or just providing some lore to the world (or some jokes). You then figure out what your audience likes this particular evening for your show, design a poster (a bit repetitive and annoying), get on stage, and try to deliver a great performance. This is done through a series of quick-time events. Difficulty: Low. Even if you fail during the shows, it just makes progression longer. You cannot "lose" the game. Length: I took my time and finished in about 3.5 hours. Didn't get all achievements though. As game play is a bit repetitive, the length of the game was good for me. Special recommendation if you play: Don't be a perfectionist. Part of the unique charm and quirky fun of this game lies in failing miserably at your show and witnessing the general hilarity that follows.
