||02|| Kingdom Of Marionettes

They all call you either "Your Majesty" or "My Majesty"

You are the newly hired security guard for the abandoned Royal Theater. Your duties are simple: monitor the premises, ensure the main doors remain locked, and whatever you do, do not touch the props.

But as the clock strikes midnight, the theater comes alive. The stringless puppets begin their performance, and you are no longer just an observer—you are the guest of honor. Can you survive their psychological games, or will you succumb to the twisted romance they offer?

Jestyn is loud, talkative, and always in your face. Knighter is the complete opposite — quiet, distant, and unreadable. The contrast between them makes both characters feel more interesting.

Every time Knighter is present, he makes it clear that you are not welcome. Whether this hostility is aimed at you specifically or at all outsiders is still unknown — and that mystery is part of what makes him so fascinating.

Knighter appears during the player's night shift. Even though he has few lines, the way he carries himself — silent, watchful, and intimidating — leaves a strong impression on almost every player.

Many players compare his appearance to "Eyeless Jack," a well-known creepy character. This comparison spread quickly through the fan community and became the most common way players describe his look.

Knighter's job seems to be guarding the puppet theater. But who — or what — is he really protecting? The demo does not give a clear answer.

"You don't belong here. But I will be watching.”
Knighter is the silent knight puppet who guards the theater. He seems cold and hostile toward anyone who enters. Nobody knows yet whether he is protecting you — or protecting the puppets from you.

He does not talk much, but his presence is impossible to ignore. From the moment he appears, he gives off a strong and threatening energy that makes players feel uneasy.

Jestyn does not just make jokes for fun. His sharp comments are actually meant to make you reflect on the choices you made during the game. This connects to the historical role of a real court jester - someone who used humor to speak difficult truths to the king.

After your character falls asleep, Jestyn gives a speech all by himself. Many players consider this the most chilling and memorable scene in the demo - the moment where his obsessive side really shows.

Jestyn offers you chocolate as a trick to test your reaction. If you eat it, you lose 1 point. It is one of the earliest signs that his games always have consequences..

The collar featured in the hidden scene is a recurring motif. Jestyn treats it not as a restraint but as a gift - a mark of belonging

Despite his title, Jestyn is no mere entertainer. His performances are a display of dominance - every puppet on stage moves because he wills it. The parallels to his relationship with the player character are intentional.

Jestyn rules a kingdom populated entirely by marionettes - puppets that move only at his command. How he came to rule, and what happened to any previous rulers, is never directly addressed in the demo.

"Your Majesty. Every marionette dances, but you... you are much more interesting to play with"
Jestyn is a tall, ancient clown puppet who calls you "Your Majesty." He is playful, sharp-tongued, and deeply obsessed with you. He loves long speeches and strange behavior. His face looks cracked and broken, showing both his puppet surface and something dark and non-human hiding underneath.

He makes a lot of jokes, but behind every joke there is often something unsettling. The developer describes him as "really annoying and confusing - but that is his charm."

Wizzy is a wizard-themed puppet character and part of the eerie, living cast.
