Otro magnífico título digno de su predecesor con una magistral muestra artística de humor negro y blasfemia.

A nice little game. I laughed. It looks great. The main protagonist looks like me, only younger. Thank you, Rubens. Maybe I should get myself a breastplate like that. The music is very pleasant. You can get all achievements. I bought it in the sale. And don't regret it.

The Middle Ages- what a crazy time to be alive! It's after the Holy Wars and you play as a representation of Rembrandt's Bellona who just wants to do some murder and Heavenly Peter is in your crosshairs. Wildly irreverent, self-aware, and deeply sacrilege, The Procession to Calvary is the second title from Joe Richardson in his bizarre triptych. I love that it's called a triptych. I finally got through this in preparation for Death of the Reprobate. I've already played through Four Last Things and honestly don't remember it too much except for the similar design style and humor but I feel like The Procession to Calvary was a bit more straightforward and less obtuse in the puzzle department. I finished this in a little under 4 hours and only had to look up two things towards the end and I am typically a pretty impatient person when it comes to point-n-click games because I frequently find at some point I can't follow the dev's logic. But this was a little easier and it seems like some knowledge of the paintings and historical context will help intuitively guide you to the next steps. Like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer The foley and BGM are very appropriate and add to a weird sense of cozy hilarity. Overall, The Procession to Cavalry reads "Monty Python" in the sense that it's constructed of those familiar crudely animated art history textbook collage but the humor is distinctly North American. I did totally laugh out loud at places and mostly had a wicked grin running across my face the rest of the time. But the humor is NOT for everyone: If you are sensitive at all about Christianity/Christ in particular you probably want to skip this. It's not all silly fart, burp, and crucifix jokes, though. There is throughout and at the end some flippantly profound commentary around religious hypocrisy, class hierarchy, and social responsibility. I enjoyed this one and am looking forward to Death of the Reprobate.

This game deserves far more attention, it's such a unique and creative point and click game. The artstyle is beautiful, and unlike everything else I've seen. Every frame of this game is like its own beautifully crafted renaissance painting. The game is fairly short, but it's humour is on point, the puzzles are great, and the NPCs have some hilarious dialogue. Definitely check out the other games from this developer as well.

What a fuckin' ride. Incredible paintings degraded to crude Python-esque animations, never-ending gags (seriously, this is a very funny game), and it has Scarlatti in the soundtrack. SCARLATTI!!! The word "masterpiece" has never felt more appropriate when describing a game, but it seems the developer has already beat me to it. 10/10
