Originally released in 2020 and finally stumbled upon by James Stephanie Sterling in 2022, The Procession to Cavalry has very quickly become one of my favorite games.
Seriously, I love this special little adventure game. Funny, ridiculous, and visually creative, I can't praise it enough.

This is actually a sequel to a game called "Four Last Things" which came out in 2017 and a third (and apparently last game) has been announced by the developer.
I'm really glad this series is getting some well deserved attention. As far as I can tell they're all made by one guy and I think the visuals, creativity and humour in these games are impeccable.
Came here to see if anyone has played Four Last Things, which I loved!!
I liked Four Last Things, didn't know it had a sequel and pending threequal. I look forward to playing this!
Loved them both ❤️
You know, I feel like we need more reviews for games that are a couple of years old. Sometimes we all miss good games, and it's nice to have someone to say "Oi! Look at this fun game I found. Play it."
Excellent suggestion 👍
As a bonus, games with a couple of years on them are usually half the price or less of a new release - a bit easier for a working stiff to be picking up on a lark.
I have to say, I’m really happy to hear you enjoying a game, obviously with all the generic games + industry-abuse etc… it’s been hard to get excited for games, but I’m glad you really enjoyed this game and I’ll be sure to check it out.
Yep, It really nice to see :)
Sadly my only experience with point and click games are the professor layton games which I don't really like
Maybe I'll still check it out

I don't recall you mentioning a husband before, so congratulations!
If this is a husband you've had for a while and I've just been inattentive, congratulations anyway, love is lovely :)
"But it's just an asset flip!"
Game looks interesting, may have to check it out at some point. Who doesn't love some classical torture methods?
The victims? :)

"As someone who really struggles with reading because ADD is getting out of control . . ."
It's a kid thing, they said. You'll grow out of it, they said. It doesn't get worse, they said.
They were wrong.
Exactly! 💯
It's so wierd it's a total win!! It's like Monty Python raided The Louvre... Ups... You mentioned them...
P.S., it sounds really cute when you say "my husband" ❤️
you know it’s gonna be a good day when you wake up to a positive jimpressions video
Haven't watched it yet, but I'm very suspicious of Jim's positive reviews.
Edit: this is one of those rare times he liked a game for it's writing over gameplay. Bet I'd like this one.
I was trying to figure out what he was going to complain about and was waiting for the twist
Jim the Hut
You know I skip most of Jims reviews because they're almost always bad games. I'd definitely watch a positive review series of games Jim likes
Yet he still brings up all his Tumblrite self diagnosis problems.
ADHD, dyslexia, memory problems.
I half expected him to bring up his DID and explain his pink and black head canon alter egos fighting for control on different days.
The overt positivity of the rest was a refreshing change.
I’m late to the husband party, clearly, so belated congratulations on that.
As for this game - you’ve convinced me to give it a go. I had initially dismissed it because the animation style (like that in Monty Python) just makes my skin crawl. Like it’s triggering some subconscious phobia. Never understood why.
i can accept it here because it seems to be "self-aware", but overall, yeah, never liked this animation style at all. it's freaky and i can't explain why.
Uncanny valley?
Maybe it's because they just move parts instead of animating movement. Like it's a cut-out painting that moves by itself, weirdly smoothly but in an unnatural way (like how clothing doesn't bend with the movement). I get the same with a lot of doll animation.
Yeah, I think I missed the husband thing myself, but hey, as long as Steph's happy that's all that matters. :D :D
@@dosbilliam "as long as Steph *and their hubby're happy"

This game is basically an embodiment of "Free use" as a concept. And also why public domain is so important.
This would be impossible if rights to all of these pieces were still tied up, and out of public domain.
Give it time and I'm sure Disney will eventually own the rights to Heironymous Bosch's The Garden Of Earthly Delights.
even now, here on the youtube countless random groups keep trying to claim public domain works as their own, abusing this site's system to have content removed or monetized in their favour. a lot of music labels have done it to me when all my music is 100% original, too, happens to folks all the time. gotta love AI that doesn't understand context monitoring & policing art in the modern era.
I agree on the font. Sometimes (frequently, actually) the font washes out on the background if the two colors are too similar. Even meme generators have shadowed fonts so you can read them. Might be good for a patch. This game is ridiculous, though, and I may have to give it a go.
It's The Procession To Calvary, not Cavalry, but otherwise yes, the game is amazing (I played it on Gamepass, so even better).
Calvary is one of those words you only hear either from hyper-religious nutters, a streetname, or people who mispronounce cavalry
@@joshuapackbier7798 or folks who really liked that one Brendan Gleeson film
@@Oscar_Milde That film is how I learned the word.
Lol I thought it said cavalry too
Jim fixed it
Now THIS is how you do an asset flip.
But seriously, I played this a while back, thanks to gamepass, and it's genuinely wonderful.
Anything endorsed by both Jim Stephanie Sterling and Ashens is bound to be good
This isnt true at all.
@Dan you're obsessed pal
@@burgermind802 obsessed with what? Wtf ya talking about lmao
@@BadGrief Nice try.
@@BadGrief booooooring….
The visual style and how it portrays the suffering that happened on those days via how the paintings that were made back then is enough to make me buy it on steam!
Sooo...was someone going to tell me James Stephanie Sterling had found themselves a husband, or was I going to have to watch them gush about a game they really enjoyed to find out?
Also, glad to see they found a game worth gushing over. It's nice to find something shiny amidst the muck, methinks.
Yeah same! Good for them!
Good for him
@@BadGrief *them
Coward.
@@channelname1019 also I'm pretty sure you've no clue what "coward" means. Maybe you should look in the mirror to remind yourself.
@@channelname1019 no such thing as non binary lol
I love this style of painting. So bizarre and grotesque. Please tell me there are ugly babies and weird cats as well.
Or baby jesus with a six pack
Yes
This game is great and is such a gem to find on gamepass
have you played Four Last Things?
4:04 Husband? Did I miss some news Steph?
I loved this game when it came out (and Four Last Things which I think is a prequel? Nope, just checked, it was legit released in 2017, I just played them in the wrong order). I agree 100% on the fonts (thought about making a video but I already have one on dyslexia fonts so...it seemed redundant), but I mean, it's still amazing! I was so excited when my notifications told me you had released this video talking about it (and that you loved it). Play Four Last Things if you want to continue the joy. Having played this one does not at all ruin that experience (to the point where I didn't know which came first).
Oh god it's a playable Monty Python animated segment!
YES!
I'm so glad JSS discovered this gem! It truly is a fantastic game, as is its predecessor.
The literal art-style in this makes me think of the cutscenes in the Rock of Ages games.
And I LOVE it!
JSS... it's Calvary. Your title and what you're saying are "Cavalry", horses, but Calvary is where Jesus was crucified...
Edit: cheers for the fix, thank god for you!
Huh, I just thought all those churches really liked horses.
Visually, along with other elements like music, it gives me very strong Monty Python/Terry Gilliam vibes. You just mentioned it as I type. I might give this one a look, even though it's not my normal type of game. The humour could be enough to get me though.
You tell us to make our own decisions but how can we when you've just told us what to do? ;-)
I was considering playing this as the animation looks hilarious. After seeing this video, guaranteed I will play this now.
Bought it on steam. Worth it. Got all the achievements for it too.
Totally worth it for the art an humour.
I will note if you don't like point and click games, there's walkthroughs if you just want to blow through it all to see the humour.
Sad to learn that about the python guys weird that people who spend a majority of their careers cross dressing would suddenly want to strictly police gender roles but what can you do they're all old now anyway
Cleese was always a bit a jerk and contrarian, and his ex wives and his rants arent agoodsign and how, but gilliam nooo
This very much looks like Four Last Things which had a near-identical art style. I really enjoyed that one so I'm definitely going to need to check this one out.
Edit: for added info, Four Last Things is about a man trying to be forgiven for his sins so he journeys to a town in an attempt to take advantage of a cleric loophole. If he can commit each of the deadly sins in a single town, his entire moral slate will be wiped clean.
It's the sequel to Four Last Things, by the same guy. The main character is different, but the 'hero' from Four Last Things features in it,
@@chrisball3778 No shit? My excitement is now twofold.
I thought this was some kind of Monty Python-esque inspired ad for like ten seconds before realizing this is an actual game
I love this game, I enjoy walking around slapping everyone in the face to see their responses.
the real plot twist in the video is jim stephanie sterling saying "my husband"
Played the original game (Four Last Things) and it's the best Monty Python-em-up I've ever played. Got around to Procession to Calvary last year and it was even better. Now it's on Game Pass there's no excuse to not try it.
Calvary: 1 : an open-air representation of the crucifixion of Jesus. 2 : an experience of usually intense mental suffering.
What an oddly specific word.
I picked this up in a recent sale and i feckin' loved it. Laughed my tits off at times and the 'alternative' to solving puzzles for one of the endings was great fun!
Wait, time out… JAMES STEPHANIE STERLING IS MARRIED?!?!?!?! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! When did this happen?
Looks like a classical art meme page on acid, so exactly my type of game
speaking of late then never. should of probably said this earlier but uhm thank you for coming out because it gave me the courage to face those questions I'd been avoiding since I was 12. Just wanted to say thanks for that.
Every time they said cavalry instead of Calvary I cringed. Great to see you found a game you're enjoying though JSS, that made it all better.
When it comes to playing this on stream I'm gifting this to a few people. Works like this need a promotion full price.
This reminds me heavily of the Rock of Ages cutscenes, too. Which were probably inspired by Monthy Python, to begin with.
Ignorant
Rock of Ages anyone?
53 years ago, actually. I shall pick this game up as I am bored out of my mind lately with the insane computer I built.
I played this a month ago on GP. Very funny, very fun progress. The “don’t kill” mechanic is fun
Jim mentions a husband in this episode, that's news to me, I'm happy for them! Have they shared who their husband is?
This reminds me of the animated cutscenes from Rock of Ages.
Great game. Nice and short too, for those of us with little spare time. My first playthrough I ended up just living up to the characters nature and stabbing everyone - soon learned that you can't really progress that way, despite the game not ending as a result. Had to start again.
Say it with me now: Calvary was the hill on which Christ was supposedly crucified, cavalry is a horse-mounted military unit!
Glad the title is fixed haha
I like that you didn't pronounce Calvary properly once :P
Thank Goud for Stephanie 🙏
It's been a while since you actually recommended anything, very happy to see this video this morning!
4:00 hold the fuckin phone Jim has a husband? Good on them damnit how is this the first I'm hearing of it.
"My husband"
When did this happen... also, mazeltov my dear.
This was one of my favorite games I played last year! Glad to see this channel cover it!!
Wow. First time in 10 years I feel hope for the so called " gaming industry ". Thank you, Stephanie for giving me this insight.
Cal-vary, mate, not cavalry.
Weird strange little game. Thanks for showing it
Love this game, and his previous game - Four Last Things - is just as good and just as criminally overlooked. I've done my best to write about these games and get people to give them a chance. Hopefully, many of your viewers will try them out now.
Engagement for the engagement god!
"My Husband"
Despite it’s Flaws, I’m excited to hear about this game. Thank you for spotlighting a gem like this.
This is why I love Game Pass ...played through this when it dropped
Cal-va-ree, dammit! (Thank God for ye)
Very Monty Pythons Flying Circus looking...
I saw a friend play this on stream, had me in stitches. I can't wait to get round to playing it after getting it gifted for Christmas
Noone's going to mention that it's 'Calvary' not 'Cavalry'?
Nice kick at Cleese and Gilliam there.
And Brexit.
You had me within seconds. I thought it was a skit at first
H-Husband?! When did Jim get married? :O
I was hoping you'd talk about this wonderful literal art student project.
Awesome game. Definitely have to try this.
This review did not contain enough politics.
Calvary is the alleged site of Jesus's Crucifixion, cavalry are soldiers who fight on horseback. Usually people mispronounce cavalry as calvary, I hadn't heard it the other way around. Until now. Like 47 times.
Also parsing isn't just a fancier sounding synonym of reading. Parsing is about understanding the meaning of a sentence, not whether or not the text is legible to you.
And while I'm being an obnoxious pedant, you pronounced anachronistic very unusually.
Great video regardless.
You got married? Right on, congrats.
Having just finished a nightmarish art history course (loved the material, hated the class) I must have this game!
I've been playing Grimvalor the last week or so. It's pretty damn good! Thanks for the recommend 👍
I adore games like this so I'll have to check this out then
It’s a monty python sketch, right?
Now THATS how you asset flip! 🤣
This game gives me a lot of the same energy that the cutscenes from the Rock of Ages games did.
Calvary is not the same word as cavalry.
It's very unique looking for sure. Might give this a look myself.
Terry Giliam may be a POS but i feel like he is owed a thanks for the art style used in this game
Terry Gilliam didn’t invent cutout animation, though (and his animations were made in the context of a bit of a resurgence of cutout animation in the late 60s and 70s). And it’d probably be more accurate to say that the art style is thanks to the original painters which Procession to Calvary used as source material.
Seems to be an interesting game. Thanks for covering it, jimsteph.
Not gonna lie, there's a Runescape flavour to this, the turn-for-turn play, the wit and humour of the dialogue and twisted story.
I didn't know this was on gamepass... installing to my xbox now! thanks James Stephanie!
Never heard of this game before. Will need to look into it. Looks like a lot of fun. At least they didn't go with a more fancy renaissance font than the one they used. You know the one.
Old English, Matura, or Papyrus?
@@normanreviewsgames698 You were right on the first.
This game is pretty funny. I would also recommend it myself.
The opening of this made me go, "Oh? ...OH!" and then I laughed and clapped excitedly.
It’s CALVARY Jim, not CAVALRY
Disappointed to hear terry gilliams a transphobe. Without looking into details I somehow expected it of cleese.
That's pure Monty Python, no doubt.
Thanks for the recommendation, and since you mentioned it, thanks for recommending The Sexy Brutale many years ago. I love these kind of sorta-relaxing-but-actually-nerve-wracking kinda games.
I absolutely LOVED this game. Had me laughing with very Monty Python styled humour
I was going to say this reminds me of Four Last Things but turns out they are from the same developer. Well, I said it anyway.
I love it when Steph finds a good game, a shame it doesn't happen more often.
Every gaming news channel right now: MICROSOFT BOUGHT ACTIVASION-BLIZZARD :O:O:O (Thumbnail pic: :O)
James Stephanie Sterling: Look at this awesome game it is such a gem.
This is such a fantastically funny game.
I haven't heard of this game and I love the point-and-click games so I'm thankful you made a video about it ^^ thank god for JSS!
I think if the text had some kind of "drop shadow" behind it, you could much more easily read it.
This game looks like fun!
Husbando?? congrats Steph!
