Look, usually I'm very nice to Game Jam games, but this time...
Trapped with Jester is a short visual novel where the main character wakes up in a carriage with a stranger. You guessed it, he's a jester. But he's weird and keeps talking about you summoning him... What could it possibly mean?
I won't tell you more, because the novel is extremely short: I've got all of the endings and achievements after 6 minutes of play-time. And this is what rubbed me in a wrong way. The novel doesn't tell you much, nothing really happens. Even for a Jam game that's too short, I'm sorry. I understand that there's not that much time, but you could at least write a longer dialogue between the two main characters, or maybe give some background without creating new backgrounds and/or sprites.
At least it looks nice, and the jester is fully voiced. But I don't think it's really worth playing.
UPD: Okay, now I know that the rules of the Jam were that the novel should only have 1000 words or less, also there's a challenge to use only 1 sprite, 1 background, and 1 music track. (Thank you again Anta for telling me that!) This explains a lot, but I still don't want to recommend the novel. I wouldn't be honest if I said that I liked it ¯\(ツ)/¯
