Crown & Applause

About This Game

Crown & Applause is a rhythm game with a narrative story about a jester forced to perform for a kingdom that wants laughter without trouble. Perform across a series of escalating stages, win over changing crowds, and navigate a tale where every act carries more weight than the last. What begins as simple entertainment soon grows into something far harder for a king to keep on script.

A jester in service to their king

Step into the bells of a wandering performer sent around the kingdom to lift spirits, please the king’s court, and keep unrest at bay. With every stage and every crowd, the jester’s performance grows into something harder for the kingdom to keep on script.

Perform across the kingdom

Perform through rhythm-based stages where timing, flow, and control matter. As the jester moves from village squares to royal halls, each new venue raises the pressure and asks more of every performance.

Choose what your performance stands for

Each new stage brings more than applause. As the jester’s role grows, the player must navigate rising pressure and decide whether their act serves the king, the people, or something more personal.
