The Procession to Calvary: An Adventure Game with Renaissance Artwork
The Procession to Calvary is an adventure game developed by Joe Richardson. It takes place in a Renaissance world where you play as a character tasked with finding the tyrant Heavenly Peter who has escaped your clutches. The game features a traditional point and click interface with an interaction menu and inventory.
The game's richly detailed landscape is built from hundreds of different Renaissance paintings, including works by Rembrandt, Botticelli, Michelangelo, and more. Classical music from Vivaldi, Bach, and George Frideric Handel accompanies you on your journey. The game's humor is reminiscent of the surreal, anarchic comedy of Monty Python, treating lofty subject matter with refreshing flippancy.
The Procession to Calvary offers optional murder, where you will be equipped with a sword, but strongly discouraged from using it on people. However, it serves as a useful method of skipping any puzzles you don't like. But be warned, your actions might come back to haunt you. Overall, the game is standalone and can be played independently.
