The court jester, Madion, wakes up by the king's lifeless body. A demonic curse has struck down every true citizen, and driven others to madness. Madion is torn between seeking the truth, helping the survivors, and a desire to escape. From the author of Demonheart comes a new visual novel in a similarly dark setting, dealing with themes of murder, love, trust, and deceit. Features: • Story of over 90.000 words. • Important lines are voiced over. • Choices to build, or re-build, a relationship with one of three characters: Lucille, Calix, or Edwina. • Collect "keys" - bits of information needed to progress the story and discover the truth. • The cursed kingdom is looping in time - you can use a flowchart to go back to certain choices. Characters: • You play as Madion, the jester who has lost his memories. Having been forced into a life of chaos, uncertainty and deceit, Madion starts off feeling conflicted, jealous and spiteful. He needs to let go of his dark thoughts and redeem himself. You can make choices for him, affecting his relationships with the other characters. • Lady Lucille was forced to live in the king's palace while he waged war on her homeland. Quiet and cunning, she adapted quickly. Lucille believes she understands Madion, and is always there to support him. • An orphan of common origins, Calix received a favorable place in the palace thanks to his good looks and charisma. Some believed he was involved with the king, but Calix's eyes were set elsewhere. • As the king's alchemist, Edwina used to follow His Majesty's every command. She is strict and slightly paranoid, with a cold exterior, but Madion sees a different side of her.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Jester / King at none against Heart's Choice's shown. Jester / King also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). Heart's Choice's advantage is ratings volume (301 vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Heart's Choice ships an update every 10 days, Jester / King every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
