GOG is giving away a well-rated indie game worth $15

Once Upon a Jester is a charming adventure game that revolves around the two lovable slobs Sok and Jester. The friends dream of putting on the most famous play of all time. Their motivation is simple: they want to win the key to the royal treasury, which is only given to the creators of the best performance in the country.

Players travel through different cities and perform a play in each location, deciding what type of performance they want to put on - be it a drama, a comedy or something completely unexpected. Each decision influences the audience's reactions and the course of the story, leading to a variety of possible endings. The magical soundtrack and hand-drawn, collage-like graphics add to the game's fairytale charm. Once Upon a Jester is said to offer around 3.5 hours of gameplay - 3 hours for the story and 0.5 hours for side quests.

Once Upon a Jester was developed by Bonte Avond and published by Crunching Koalas in November 2022. On Steam where the game regularly costs around $15, it has an outstanding average rating of 99 percent positive ratings from over 130 reviews. However, the good Steam ratings are put into perspective when you look at it on Metacritic. Here, Once Upon a Jester has a Metascore of 78 and a User Score of 7.4, with players criticizing the repetitive gameplay in particular. For a free game, however, this should be bearable. After all, Once Upon a Jester is free on GOG until September 5 at 9 a. m. (EDT).

Prices are subject to change. The offer was available at the time of publication of the article, but may be limited in time or quantity.
