Armed with knowledge of the game's future, Teresa decides to intervene and erase the event that triggered the beginning of the original story.

Im so excited for the game
Man I can't believe I'm still early! I mean thank God that creators like you are still making new FMC games but mannn I really want to play a full game. This one seems to be super good so far, really hope to see an update soon! Keep up the good work!
The text is too dark and I can barely read some words, Though I loved the demo so much!!
Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by text is too dark? 🥲
It's dark text on light background...? Does it appear differently for you or do you mean some other text?
on mobile like a phone or tablet the game is too dark to read but on laptop or desktop it works fine
The browser version?
Cause the browser version is not meant to be played on mobile/tablet 💦
I can't wait for the full release!! The mc is so funny and well written. Also when is the full game releasing?
No exact date yet.
I'll announce a date when it's near completion, but as of the moment, a lot of unexpected circumstances keep popping up... though I do try to post regular bi-monthly updates, so feel free to follow if you'd like to keep updated!
Heyyyyy this game is honestly my top 1 even tho it's not fully made! I'm so in love with the humor and everything about this project >v<
Tho when I tried to install it on my phone the download of the android version went smoothly but then instead of thorn for the villain, trapped with jester tries to get installed.... Is it my phone?
Response is here
TLDR; it's an experimental build so... I'm not sure why it ended up like that, but it's just the name🙏
(You also can't have both games in the same device, apparently)
Hey! Just wanted to point out a little bug. The little icons to skip and open the settings etc are not showing up on my screen. I tried deleting and re-downloading the game too but it didn't work... I don't really know if it's just my device or something with the game but any help would be appreciated :)
If you mean the quick menu, it's not a bug... you just have to hover on the flower at the corner to make it appear. The full version of the game will have an optional tutorial for it🥲
If it's mobile, you'd have to click on the flower.
(sorry for the late reply, I only saw this on the pending posts today😭)
Damn! I've been waiting for this!! I'm prolly not gonna be allowed to play the full release lol. Keep up the good work and remember to drink water :) I really like the game.
gente esse jogo é perfeito, joguei a versão mobile sem me dar conta que era demo e fiquei querendo mais kkkkk gostei muito da personalidade da protagonista e do estilo do jogo, a arte é linda e a história interessante. tem potencial pra se tornar um dos meus jogos favoritos ♡
Esta en español? Se ve increíble pero mi inglés es muy limitado y mi Alcatel no soporta aplicaciones de traducción 😔
Está en inglés ya lo eh usado yo hshsh
Im trying to dowload it but after the part of "staging app" instead of it asking for me to install the game it asks if i want to update "Trapped with jester" i tried both updating it with didnt change a thing and also not doing it, tried restart my phone, delete and download it over again and nothing seems to work
Did you try to open the app? Because the mobile version is an experimental build, so it's got those kind of bugs, so the file for some reason was built under the name Trapped with Jester. It's still the correct game when you open it though.
I did but it just happened the same thing
Like, the game is different?
Yeah, i might be doing it wrong tho, but i believe it feels like its just a update for Trapped with Jester at least thats how my phone keep seeing it as, nothing like your game
Ok, I tested it with the same conditions as yours and looks like you'd have to uninstall the original Jester game first before you can install the new file. It worked for me.
just finished the demo and obsessed with it. its so fun
omg been waiting for the full game to come out ever since 2023 like sheesh my mans my mans my mans (obsessed with Vicenzo)
I'm slow, but I'll keep working on it until I finish!💪
Dont worry, I'm slow as well, the way you're saying and the other kind lmaoo ooo I love narrow-eyed men. Also, take your time, hun! I can wait another year :D I just want you to be healthy so make sure to eat and sleep well! <333
THIS WAS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
ITS GOING TO BE SO PEAK!!!
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FULL RELEASE THIS YEAR! TS gonna be so PEAK
I like this game so much,really much,but!..i want to say one thing .. the font is almost black,so,i almost cannot see it..
I'm not sure what you mean by almost black... the text box is light green/light violet/light gray, I'd understand if it's hard to see it if the textbox was dark?
Unless if you mean that the default font is too small? Then there's an alternate dyslexic font option.
Actually, in the website when you click "run game" on Android the text is not appearing, besides the options are really dark😭😭
Do you mean the browser? Are you trying to play the browser version on Android?
I don't think it's compatible. You would have to download the Android APK version.
Alright, thank you for telling me! I actually already played the game on Android, I'm waiting for the next update since it's my favorite vs.
I loved this game so much! Such a great demo that captivated my attention immediately. From the very start, I was excited to start the game since I love the reincarnation trope. Safe to say, I was super impressed by the quality of the demo! The art is beautiful and the story itself is extremely interesting. I love the balance of the actual plot and the romantic plot. In addition, the characters themselves are indeed memorable. I can't wait for the full release of the game! ₍₍⚞(˶˃ ᗜ ˂˶)⚟⁾⁾
I'm new to itch.io and this so far is my favorite game!
I first fell for Vicenzo, and I am hooked. I am willing to pay for the full version <3
is Eternal Blesssing of The Stars completely made up by you or did you have a game inspo for it? If so what game(s)?
It's made up with a mishmash of generic otome tropes, especially inline with how otome isekai usually portrays otome games... minus villainesses, because actual otome games rarely have those.
ohhhhh okkee thx for replying
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
I LOVE THISSS! Ok so had to redo cause I realized that those were questions to answer
I would probably choose Vicenzo's route first. My favorite scene might've been the one in the garden with Estella. Those two are so cute!!! Yes I would probably pay. The only thing holding me back is cost cause I'm a brokie ;v; Lastly, yes. I think they're fine the way they are.
Thank youuuuuu!!!!
I LOVE VICENZOOOOOOOOOO
i love the main guy's look and voice
im literally obsessed idk why but ive always been reminiscing about a story with a similar plot for days but YOU CLEAREDD this omg. I hope this game gets finished soon omg.
same I check in on this game every time im on itchio and I love vicenzo if thats how u spell it
this game will go down in history when its full version is released, similarly to that one cinderella game
wait, which cinderella game are you referring to?
I'm guessing Cinderella Phenomenon?
correct (im so late)
Hi! About the android build, thought youd like to know that it displays the wrong name,
The game loads fine, it's this game but for some reason the name is trapped with jester?
Also have a video but its too large to put here. Other than that the app works fine tho, the game is correct just the name is wrong for whatever reason 🙏
Yeah, I know about it, I'm not sure why it was like that. It's an experimental build just so Android players can access the game, so I've left it as is.
Me encanta como se va desarrollando la historia, tiene mucho potencial!! No puedo esperar a que esté terminada. Será uno de mis juegos favoritos, sin duda. Sigan así! <3
I rlly loved the story and characters. I NEED TO MARRY EDEL NOWWWW
I really wanna play this, thing is the keyboard won’t appear on my iPad and it’s really hard to read the text on phone (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)
I don't know about iPad, but have you tried enabling the dyslexic font toggle for mobile?
I'm OBSESSED with this, I hope it gets finished soon!
Wow, this was such a fun demo to play! Excited for when the full game comes out. As for the questions...
Q1: Most likely Vicenzo's route. His character appeals to my own personal preferences, (romantically.) and from what I've seen so far, I'm very curious about the rest of his presence in the game.
Q2: I loved when Vicenzo led the MC to the artifacts and whatnot underground. I'm the type of person to get really interested in a game's plot, and that scene felt like getting to eat a five-star meal after looking at a menu full of delicious options. (for lack of a better analogy.) I also really liked the romantic scenes with Vicenzo! They made me more interested in his overall character, as well as how the relationship between him and MC would progress.
Q3: I'm very excited for the game to be released, and will probably buy it when it does. Can't wait to see how it comes out!
Q4: Very much so. I think the best type of villain character is one that isn't outwardly abrasive or open about their true intentions. Sly and charming types of characters are some of my favourites, and I think you hit the nail on the head with how Vicenzo acts. As for Edel, I can definitely see his appeal. I would be excited to see how he acts more in the final game.
Comments: Great job on this! The dialogue was easily one of my favourite parts, along with the art style. I love the watercolour kind of look to everything, it's so pretty! Keep up the good work, and thank you for making it!
is there genuinely no way to live in the demo hello wtf 😭💔 now u got me invested...
as for questions! by looks alone, i thought i'd like edel more, but he kept sliming me out so now i prefer the count. i like his hair...and voice...
my favorite scene would probably be edel laughing after mc met up with him😭what can i say..
i don't see why not, im always happy to pay for things that intrigue me<3
yes. so much so that it started to annoy me, i was getting frustrated trying to find options where mc doesn't die💔i could've tried more, but i honestly just gave up.. (apologies if i missed anything) but i much prefer this then tropes where you download/read/watch something FOR the villain(s) and they just turn out to be sweet and misunderstood... here, atleast the title doesn't lie.
I just want to say I ADORE ur art style 🥹 I have been a fan of your "Trapped with Jester" game for a long long time!! I wish I could donate but sadly I'm broke :((
lmk when full game is out twin
Hello! I wanted to tell you that I really like the game, but sometimes I had difficulty reading the text, also because I am short-sighted and also because the text is clear, similar to the background. If you answer my comment thank you for your availability I hope you will take a look at it. </3
Have you tried the dyslexic font option?
Oh... I don't even notice it. Really sorry for bothering you. Also because my English is really poor. Thank you very much for answering me. I solved the problem! ♥️
Don't worry about it! Feedback like these help improve the game ♥️
I just hope the dyslexic font is good enough!
i cant get enough of this!!! trying to find other people who like this is like trying to find your soulmate... IMPOSSIBLE.
and lastly -roughly how long do you think it would take to finish one route?
Q1. id pick the same as everyone else... Vicenzo because Edel feels like the type of guy that you'd struggle to get a good ending with
Q2. my favourite part (LOWKEYYYYYY) is when the engagement gets brought up. the brother is funny
Q3. guess.
Q4. obvs... once there's more content, ill probably be able to solidify my opinion... nyhehehe!
one day I WILL see more content of this.
Common route so far is estimated to be around 4~6 hours, and I'd like to match that with the character routes.
thank youu!!!
i cant wait until the game finishes - I WILL BE RUNNING TO PLAY ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
I was depressed it just ended there. crying rn. was so good ToT
hi! I’m a bit new to itch so sorry if this is a silly question, but are you able to/will the special dialogue buyable thingy ever restock?
I also have another question, how much is the game going to be when it’s finished?
Thank you for the interest! Unfortunately, the special dialogue won't be restocked anymore. As of now, the only way to obtain it is through the special portrait tier.
As for full price, that is still tentative, however, I did state in the FAQs that the price will be $9.69, so I'll try to do the initial release within that price range one way or another, but definitely not less than the not-so-early bird tier.
Is there a time we can expect a new update/part of the game? I've been really excited for a few months and I can't waitttt (but take your time lmao)
No exact date yet, but for any WIP update, only those who qualify for beta access will be able to try it out, and for the rest- it will probably be the full release.
Right now, I do have a new chapter or two that hasn't been released even to beta access, but it's not yet ready (incomplete assets, placeholders, incomplete branches, etc.).
I always announce major updates though, but I haven't had any for a long time due to personal family circumstances >_<
alrighty take your time we'll be patiently waiting for the next updates🙈🙈🙈❤️❤️❤️
