The Jester and the Madman, a sequel to Curse of the Old Gods, is a point-and-click adventure with a 90s-style digitized art aesthetic, steeped in Lovecraftian horror. Solve puzzles, uncover a vast conspiracy, and descend into a world of cults, paranoia, and creeping madness.
After thwarting the deranged Professor Clayton’s occult experiment in the mesas of the Congo, Rick returns to New York only to be kidnapped and imprisoned beneath the mysterious Kingdom Hospital. Holly, a nurse at the hospital, stumbles upon Rick’s cell, and unknowingly opens the door to a deeper nightmare. Together, they must expose a secret cult that stretches into the ranks of the FBI and Homeland Security… before it’s too late.(Storyline via IGDB)
