About Jest Messters
Jest Messters is a comedy-mystery otome (GxB) visual novel where you play as Neim, a cheerful girl cursed by the mysterious Jester to spout jokes. Romance your equally eccentric classmates and find the truth behind your curse!
Oh no! You’re stuck with a pun-curse “gifted” by the mysterious Jester- a mythical entity known to bring happiness in exchange for your memories.
Armed with the worst dad jokes known to mankind, you transferred to the prestigious Marney High in hopes to uncover the Jester’s identity… and hopefully make new friends along the way.
Luckily, your new classmates are just as weird as you are: a stuck-up scholar, a brainrot-loving memelord, a two-faced actor, a weapon-wielding roommate, and a secretive senior with a dangerous secret…
So be careful who you trust! As sinister plots start to unravel around you and your classmates, you find yourself tangled in their web of secrets and schemes.
And maybe… your pun-curse is the key to solve them all?
