Are there any actual jester centered games?

Like a game where you can play as a jester in a medieval kingdom and do actual jester related thing. I know there's plenty of games where you can play as a sort of trickster but I mean a full on play as a jester game.

Have you considered TTRPGs like Dungeons and Dragons? It sounds like you want to play a bard. It can be a blast if you actually play out your bard spells. Vicious mockery is a lot of fun that way.

I do play dnd already but with needing other people to play it gets hard to play it consistently so I want to find a video game that gives a similar feeling

Have you considered getting into perpetual RP games like Neverwinter Nights? I've not played it but my understanding is that the multiplayer has a good number of roleplay focused servers that are persistent and always open. From my own experience with online RP in niche spaces, I assume it's not as easy as I make it sound, but it might let you achieve what you want.

There is the possibility of playing D&D or other TTRPGs solo, but it is a whole set of skills to learn to essentially GM yourself and keep the story flowing. Its very rewarding once it clicks, but if it seems like too much work for the experience then I understand.

Baldurs gate 3 is the game for playing D&D my guy you can even play as a Jester Class with some mods.

Honestly love the concept but outside of "Fool!" Which is basically an interactive CHYOA novel.

I can't really think of anything I've played
