About This Game

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for [just one more murder…] -Ecclesiastes 3:8

Story

Huzzah! The holy war is over! Your oppressors have been vanquished, the churches of the Old God lay in ruin and thousands of innocent people have been murdered! But it's not all good news; the tyrant Heavenly Peter has escaped your clutches, and you have been tasked with the mission of finding him...

Your journey will take you through a richly detailed landscape built from hundreds of different Renaissance paintings. You will steal a ship, feed a donkey, compete in a talent contest, assist an inept street magician, sing, dance, play the (magic?) flute, poke a man's face, hunt for treasure and have a chat with Our Lord God Almighty... But will you find Heavenly Peter? And if you do, how will you take your revenge!?

Features

  • Pointing and Clicking – A traditional point and click interface, with a 'verb coin' interaction menu and a simple inventory from which you can drag and drop your preciously hoarded items.

  • Renaissance Artwork – Paintings by Rembrandt, Botticelli, Michelangelo and many more are brought together into one consistent world, in a way that is also as sympathetic as possible to the original works.

  • Classical Music – a soundtrack selected to fit with the style of the artwork. Music from classical composers such as Vivaldi, Bach and George Frideric Handel will accompany you on your journey.

  • Standalone Story – The Procession to Calvary is set in the same world as Four Last Things, but its story can be played independently.

  • Optional Murder – You will be equipped with a sword. This will become useful in a number of different situations, but you will be strongly discouraged from using it on people. Ignoring this advice – and murdering anyone who stands in your way – will serve as a useful method of skipping any puzzles you don't like. But be warned; your actions might come back to haunt you...

  • Nonsense – A style of humour reminiscent of the surreal, anarchic comedy of Monty Python. Lofty subject matter is treated with refreshing flippancy. Gags about butts are taken very seriously. But rest assured, while some of the jokes may be ridiculous, the puzzles make perfect sense! (or at least adhere to a consistent internal logic)

  • Moments of Surprising Profundity – Actually, no... Don't read too much into it.

"Pythonesque adventure" is really the best way to describe this game.

Wickedly fun game that worth picking up just for every cheeky moment alone. Then you have the classic art styles and wit; loved every part of this game and the outcomes. If you are a fan of humour and point and click puzzles and classical art, this is a must.

Pretty short, some pretty weird puzzles, but also a pretty pretty art style.

This was the most enjoyable game I've played in years. Without a doubt, you should absolutely buy this game. Not only is the art style fucking outlandish and amazing, the animations and humor throughout the entirety of the game is absolutely hilarious. I also love the music, the art, and everything about this game, I need 10 more like it. I sat around looking around at real art in the art gallery in game and it was enchanting, I never sat around and looked at so much classical art in my life. With that being said, I've grown to appreciate art and classical music more than I already did due to this game, I'm not even joking. Get it, spend money on the game, and then over pay for it because this is absolute gold. 100/10
