Monty Python-Esque Adventure Game “The Procession to Calvary” Looks Fantastic

Indie British developer Joe Richardson has put his latest opus, The Procession to Calvary, up for crowdfunding.

The point-and-click sequel to the insta-classic Renaissance-era game Four Last Things is now up on Kickstarter, seeking a modest funding goal of $9,713. Featured above, you can view the Kickstarter pitch video for the game.

Richardson describes the game as what you’d see “if Monkey Island 2 had been made in 17th century Florence” by none other than a “time-travelling Terry Gilliam wannabe.” Naturally, you can expect lots of gloriously British humor in the game, as its pedigree has shown.


Here’s some key features in the game:

  • Pointing and Clicking
  • Renaissance Artwork
  • Classical Music
  • Sinful Behavior
  • Detailed, Interactive Game World
  • Simple Visual Interface
  • Nonsense
  • Piffle
  • Moments of Surprising Profundity

The game makes use of gorgeous, Renaissance-era artwork that Richardson will cut up, put into a collage, and animate to make a cohesive, narrative-driven experience. This will all be done in Unity, using Anima2D, as the previous game’s animations were made in Adobe Flash.

The Procession to Calvary is set for a 2019 release across Windows PC, Mac, and Linux. If you’re looking to back the game, head on over to its Kickstarter page.
