ABOUT THE GAME
From the blankness of memory,
A one-on-one conversation begins.
Trapped with Jester is a free short visual novel created by Anta. You wake up in a carriage with a headache and missing memories, and choose a response in a conversation with Jester, whose identity and purpose are unknown.
A VOICE IN THE CARRIAGE
Jester smiled,
Brings you back from sleep.
The story begins with a short monologue on a blacked-out screen, then cuts to the inside of a wooden carriage. At first, the speaker's name is hidden, and Jester approaches the protagonist's face, jokingly accusing him of disturbing his sleep.
