"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 it's story can be played independently.
Optional Murder - You will be equipped with a sword. This will become useful in a number of different situation, 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."

Will you be putting an end to the reign of Heavenly Peter? Thanks for watching ^_^
Nice review man, I was interested cause the art looked like Monty Python's style and the humor totally sold me on that. So it's good to see it was the case for a few people.
Glad you found it helpful thanks for coming by the channel!
The game is an absolute masterpiece for the cultured. Those who have the patience to listen to the messages and take in the nuances of the humor will greatly appreciate this game. I grew up in the church and the depiction of Jesus made me laugh so hard.
Great review. This just hit Play Pass so I wondered if it was any good. You convinced me to give it a try.
Thanks Drifter hope you like it!
It’s a lot of easy Acheivements if you’re into that. Else it’s a glimpse into the Middle Ages done with humor.
Really good video. I loved Four Last Things and this one looks just as fun and bizarre. Subscribed!
Very glad to have you here and hope you enjoy all of the content :)
Thank you tons for this review i was debating if i wanted this and you helped a lot!!!
You are very welcome Sutrus thank you for checking out the content and so glad we could help you.
Great video! I plan on getting this game when it comes out soon.
So glad you enjoyed it, and hope you have as much fun playing as I did!
Love these whacky freebees on the game pass when iv nothing to play!
Enjoy!
I've seen someone refer to killing everyone as the "Genocide Route' of the game, after Undertale lol. Would you say that's accurate?
haha yeah, I would say that is fair!
@@IDreamofIndie So would you say it's arguably better or different than most other Point and Clicks? :)
I'm thinking about getting it, but I'm a little exhausted from the age old formula by the likes of Telltale (with quick time events) and Grim Fandango/Broken Age where it's essentially a series of fetch quests (find random object and use it with the correct piece of environment to progress).
The aforementioned "Bad Route" seems to liven things up :)
1:50 - What exactly is "this genre"? Are there more of these games?
Bought this for PS5 last night and played for a hour or so. I’ve enjoyed what I’ve played so far with some of the dialogue exchanges being really funny.
Not my usual type of game but thought it looked interesting and very different from what else is around at the moment, so why not give it a try.
Awesome! I agree that the game is really fun with a wonderful sense of humor. Something a little different for the genre :)
same
