[Dev Note] The Nameless Jester
Hello again, Survivors!
To go along with our Official Discord Riddle Event we announced earlier, we’d like to introduce the story of the charming yet mischievous character, The Jester, who has joined our band of Survivors.
Each character who has to navigate the world of Remore, has their own story that motivates them to survive and keep moving forward. Beyond the basic concepts mentioned in previous Dev Notes, we’re working on creating stronger, more engaging narratives to amplify each character’s personality and storyline.
The story of The Jester will give a little insight into the tragedy of Remore and add more meaning to the character’s Skills and Traits. Each character’s story is crafted to help you understand why and how they develop their unique attitudes, behaviors, strengths, and weaknesses. And today’s look into The Jester’s story will show a fragment of the “Tragedy” of Remore and what fragile humans might experience when facing such a calamity.

The Jester character is all about striving for an over-the-top “Cheerfulness.” Even in the tragic world of Remore, The Jester focuses on “laughter,” treating everyone else as the butt of his jokes.
As you play, The Jester's attitude might come across as “Annoying” or as someone who “isn’t taking the situation seriously.” This is exactly the unique personality we wanted for this character in a medieval apocalypse setting. And it’s also a role we feel only The Jester, among the 8 survivors, can fulfill.
Our Jester isn’t a clever comedian skilled in witty jokes. In fact, his words in tragic situations are often unhelpful or harmful. His timing is tragic, continuously making inappropriate jokes while our Survivors teeter on the edge of death.
His indiscriminate mockery is certainly a “Flaw” in gameplay terms, making him a challenging character. But narratively, this has a deeper meaning. His relentless, unpleasant monologues reflect how humanity changes in response to the massive shifts in the world of Remore.

The Jester’s jokes aren’t meant to bring joy or happiness; they’re closer to a mockery of the current world. Even before Remore’s tragedy fully unfolded, The Jester was someone who made others laugh not by bringing joy but through ridicule.
Yet in the tragedy-stricken Remore, The Jester didn’t hide. Instead, he throws himself into the midst of the enemy, gambling his own life for survival.
What exactly was The Jester thinking, that he would act so boldly? Was he simply showing off his unique abilities, believing he could do what no one else could? Or was it all just a way to mock everyone else, flaunting his power? Or perhaps… has he already given up, surrendering to these trials the world throws at him?
The answer depends on your interest and gameplay. The Jester has always, and still does, hide his true emotions behind his white makeup, living through this tragedy with the thought that all he needs to do is make one person the subject of his cruel jokes to bring joy to everyone else. His genuine emotions, thoughts, and judgments behind that mask will slowly be revealed to the survivors, as they journey through Remore.
That’s just a small introduction to the narrative of this tormented Survivor. Join our Official Discord Riddle Event and help shape the story of the laughing, crying Jester!
We’re preparing engaging stories for all the characters in Remore, so that you, the Survivors, can fully immerse yourself in the world. We hope you look forward to it!
As always, thank you dear Survivors!!
