Description

Three Pythonesque adventures made from Renaissance paintings and reckless ambition. Pilfer from pirates, conspire with cardinals, perform miracles, and face the Four Last Things. Explore luscious landscapes and preposterous portraits in this gloriously silly, deeply intelligent trilogy.

Features

  • Puzzling Pilgrimages – A traditional narrative adventure game, with a modernised interface. Control your character(s) via direct control, interact with people and places with a snazzy ‘verb coin’ interaction menu, and drag and drop (or hoard) your precious items from a simple drop-down inventory.
  • Renaissance Artwork – Renaissance, Rococo and even a hint of Romanticism, to be a little more precise. Hundreds of paintings, spanning hundreds of years, are all brought together into one consistent world.
  • Classical Music – A mix of publicly available classics and works from musician Eduardo Antonello populate the Triptychs airwaves. Period appropriate music that adapts as the story progresses, recorded using real medieval/renaissance instruments.
  • Standalone Story – Four Last Things,The Procession to Calvary, and Death of the Reprobate feature unique stories with recurring characters/themes all within the same world.
  • Highbrow Buffoonery – Lofty subject matter is treated with gleeful 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)
  • Fully Remastered – Unified UI overhaul across the board, never-before-seen deleted and bonus scenes, QoL improvements, full controller support, and an arm in the air waving like it just doesn’t care. The Immortal John Triptych brings the ultimate Joe Richardson experience to the forefront.
