Our game for Global Game Jam 2024, with the theme "Make Me Laugh". 

GRAND PRIZE WINNER of the Scripto + Global Game Jam 2024 ($1k prize pool STEPHEN COLBERT, pro dev jury).

A game of rumours, guesswork, bravado, and wit where you wage a war of words against your rival in an effort to amuse your Dark Lord.

           

You are Motley, a Court Jester; an entertainer, scoundrel, and spy as decreed by the shifting whims of your dark lord.

Buel, Prince of Hell (and your employer) has grown tired of the status quo. It’d be nice to stir things up, make a mess, see what happens, maybe start a war or two? As his trusty Jester, it is up to you to make things as amusing as possible. 

Entertain your Lord by gathering rumours about the demons who attend him through a game of reverse roulette (the Devil's Game!), all the while navigating the machiavellian politics of the darkest hells (and your nemesis-rival, Pan!) 

Succeed and you shall earn the adoration of the legions of Hell. Fail and well...you'll look like a bit of a fool.
