The Jesters Vow

Two Fools Dancing from Two and Three Fools of the Carnival, engraving by Hendrick Hondius I after Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1642).

SYNOPSIS:

Once, your name was spoken with respect. Now, you are forced to wear bells.

Hidden behind painted smiles and hollow laughter, you serve the very family that ordered your bloodline erased. The court sees a fool, harmless, expendable, and amusing. None suspect that every jest is measured, every laugh a blade carefully sheathed.

The royal family rots from within. Secrets cling to silk halls and old sins breathe beneath the throne. You came to finish what the king began, to dismantle the crown piece by piece.

But vengeance is a dangerous thing when hearts are involved.

As loyalties fracture and desire tangles with hatred, you must choose:

Will the kingdom burn… or will you fall for those you were meant to destroy?

FEATURES:

A medieval omegaverse steeped in drama, violence, and deceit.

Play as the kingdom’s court jester, walking the thin line between mockery and survival.

Choose your identity: play as male or non-binary as a recessive alpha or recessive omega. Or avoid the turmoil of secondary sexes entirely by choosing to be a beta. (Female player characters are exclusively only able to be masculine alpha's)(More info on this later)

Customize your character’s appearance, age (22-30), height, personality, and pheromone scent.

Forge fragile alliances, bitter rivalries, or dangerous entanglements at court.

ROMANTIC OPTIONS: (Can be romanced by all mc's)

Prince Cassian Viremont (Crown Prince)(First-born)

He is 26 years old, tall with a lean and elegant build held in an unmistakably aristocratic posture. His light brown skin contrasts with deep onyx black hair worn long and tied low, framing a refined bone structure marked by a thin scar at the corner of his mouth. His pale silver gray eyes are sharp yet perpetually tired. His overall presence is one of control and intensity, a restrained power simmering beneath careful composure. Dynamic: Dominant Omega

Pheromone scent: Eucalyptus, pine/fir, and mint with an undertone of sweet vanilla that becomes deeply intoxicating the closer one gets.

Princess Valenne Viremont (Second-born)

She is 25 years old, tall and statuesque, with an athletic, powerful build that marks her unmistakably as an Alpha. Her warm brown skin contrasts beautifully with rich auburn hair, usually braided or worn loose in waves, framing a strong jaw and faint freckles scattered across her nose. Golden brown eyes, piercing and perceptive, reflect her confident, commanding presence. She carries herself with an unapologetic certainty that leaves little doubt of who she is. Dynamic: Dominant Alpha

Pheromone scent: Cedarwood, incense, and amber with an undertone of cinnamon that is grounding and difficult to resist.

Other Characters:

Name: King Aurelian Viremont

A 52 year old dominant alpha ruler known for his iron authority and immaculate public image, exuding a pheromone scent of spiced wine, bergamot, and ash. He's the one who orchestrated the death of your family and made you a laughing stock.

Name: Queen Seraphine Viremont

A 46 year old omega who is refined, distant, and quietly observant, exudes a pheromone scent of roses, green tea, and neroli. She looks at you with a gaze of obsession and disgust that she hides from everyone else.

Names: Prince Lucien Viremont & Prince Corin Viremont

The 19 year old youngest royals who are inseparable and unpredictable. They are both alphas, with Lucien exuding a pheromone scent of campfire, nutmeg, and clove and Corin radiating cardamom, ginger, and tonka bean. They especially love to torment tease you.

More characters to be added later~

This game is 18+ and will contain many mature and possibly trigging topics such as:

Physical violence, betrayal, sexual content, harassment, humiliation, discrimination, power imbalance, obsessive behaviors, and more which will be added to this list as the story progresses.

DEMO (tba)

NSFW and scenario asks are allowed and welcomed. Just don't be weird about it.

[scrollofart]

Back at the tablet. Have more of that old man. God bless.

[venusmage]

Some Ortegas…

[scrollofart]

When there is an old man it is imperative that you put him in situations. Especially that old man.

Unexplored storytelling medium: flowcharts

[joevo]

...choose your own adventure novels are just flowcharts in disguise are they not?

[charlesoberonn]

They have the structure of a flowchart, but they're written and published in typical prose.

The Eternal Library: Progress Report ✨

Greetings, friends of Minare!

Somehow, it's almost mid-December. The days are flying and I'm making great progress on chapter six! I've caught up to the main storyline, merging the two separate paths from the dual versions of chapter five, including all the important stuff that the MC needs to know in case they missed it on one of the paths.

Looking forward, I have a handful of scenes to write at the castle: a trip to the training field with the Kitherin, a visit with MC's mom, and an announcement from Collin to the court that includes both celebratory news and some controversial policy changes. There will be juicy gossip to hear (courtesy of Gemma), that foreshadows trouble coming at the end of chapter six and the beginning of chapter seven.

And THEN, once I've written those scenes, which are more work than you might think, then I can get to the next adventure away from the castle.

This I'm looking forward to very much.

Demo Updates and Patreon Content:

I expect to have an early access demo update ready for Patreon members in a week or so with the work I've done on chapter six thus far. I will also be updating the public demo at that time, with the full versions of chapter five.

For those of you who are reading Nenaria's Lament, a novella that shares worldbuilding secrets central to The Eternal Library and Their Majesties' Pleasure, the next chapter will be coming in two weeks. This gives you a chance to enjoy the demo update next weekend without there being too much happening at once.

This is such a busy time of year. I don't want to overwhelm you with content, but I do want to ensure you understand how much I appreciate you! 💖

Thus, I'm working hard to get demo updates ready in the next week or so, as my gift to you. 🎁

Thank you so much for following along as I write this story! I'll be in touch when the demo update is ready! 🎉

SMALL FIRES IS NOW LIVE ON ITCH.IO!

Surprise!

This demo features all four playable background origins and the first half of the Prologue, amounting to ~37k words in total. It serves as a taste for what you can expect out of the full game, which will be episodic in nature. The full Prologue will be released sometime in early 2026, and like the demo, the entire game will be free to play in browser.

Before you start, here's some helpful tips and reminders:

The game is rated 17+ for a reason, and the demo features a few scenes of descriptive violence, gore, and character death. A running list of content warnings is accessible from the landing page.

While it should be playable on most devices, know that the game is not optimized for mobile. Google Chrome straight up doesn't work (unfixable, sorry), others like Firefox can get buggy, and the formatting gets weird when not in landscape mode. If you run into trouble on mobile, try switching browsers.

If you run into any bugs or spelling/formatting mistakes, please send me an ask with screenshots. I'll keep a running list of minor fixes to include in the first patch. Anything game breaking will get dealt with asap.

I'm SO excited to finally be able to share this with you all! Have fun, and let me know what you think!

[wolfsetfree-if]

I have ported the game to cog demos. I have broken my promise to myself since there is no new content but I needed a bit of motivation and it seemed right to make the existing game available to those who are discovering now my blog.

DEMO

Note that it's not a lot of content as I am not a prolific writer, but I hope that what's there is worth it and that it's enjoyable.

[merrycrisis-if]

New Chapter Released!

Hello again! Hope the end of the year is going well for you ❄️

We're leaving Marabad behind for a pilgrimage to the mountains! But before we leave, there's a couple of things for the Crown to take care of first:

R's belated birthday gift, with options to customize your Crown's hobbies and variations for romance and for friendship--as well as a chance to get to know R better, though it's entirely optional on a friendship route

For those on R's friendship route, if you choose not to get to know R better, you may have a run-in with a certain steward instead...

Variations depending on how you chose to handle Keeper Bazo last chapter

A and X romance routes having late night encounters, which may end up very differently depending on where you stand with them

Variations depending on what happened to Yekbûn in your playthrough

Variations depending on how you chose to handle the peri trader and your relationship with Kham

Choices to further shape your Crown's psyche regarding their grief and trauma. Are they on the road to healing, or are they falling back on unhealthy coping mechanisms? The options you get here will depend on a choice you made all the way back in CH6!

D romancers, you'll find their romance scenes at the end of the chapter, when the Crown has finally embarked on the pilgrimage and they're away from the eyes of the court at long last

And of course the pilgrimage itself... which draws more attention than the Crown may be comfortable with

Thank you for all your patience and support, I hope you enjoy the new chapter with the start of winter 💖

For those that are unfamiliar with the game

A Tale of Crowns is a high fantasy romance story, told in the form of a text-based interactive novel with choice mechanics. The setting is inspired by Kurdish culture as well as other historical settings in the Middle East such as Ancient Persia, but it also draws heavily from other cultures and countries in the region.

Your character is native to Arsur, a vast empire overseen by a single ruler known as the Crown. Unlike traditional monarchies, however, the title is not inherited through blood. Whenever the Crown dies, their famed golden eyes pass on to the one chosen by the Spirits of this world to be the new Crown. In this story, your MC takes on that role.

There are four different love interests to choose from, whose genders will be customized to suit the preferences of your Crown. You can find more info about them on the blog page!

Also note that this current version of the game is safe for those 16 years and older.

Like the premise so far? Play it and give it a try! The entire game is free!

If you enjoyed the game, please reblog! Share it with your friends! Recognition and reader interaction is just about the only thing I get in return for creating it ❤️

[gb-patch]

It's here! Our Life: Now & Forever has gotten a significant update to its free demo. More childhood wonder and teenage angst await 😄.

This might be only a demo, but it has a massive script of 256,000 words (the version before was 161,000 words). Of course, it's not 256k straight through. There are that many words because there's so many alterations within the story based on your personality, relationships, and choices. You'll hopefully have fun playing not only once, but multiple times!

Everybody is welcome to post their thoughts, share screenshots, or stream the demo. We'd love to know what players think.

Itch.io Page (Windows, Linux, Mac, Android)

Steam Page (Windows & Linux Only)

New Additions:

Step 1 Moment "Fancy Fun"

Remaining Step 2 Prologue Scenes

Step 2 Moment "Assistance"

Revamped tutorial

Choice tracking system (star icons will appear next to choice options you've made in prior playthroughs)

########

The content that was already in the demo was: the full Step 1 prologue, the Step 1 Moments "Walks" and "Wheels", and a small preview of the Step 2 prologue.

Thank you for waiting as we put together this ridiculously big visual novel. Enjoy some memorable moments that are all your own in Golden Grove 💕.
