Explore a world built from the luscious landscapes, turbulent townscapes and preposterous portraits of real Renaissance paintings. Death of the Reprobate is a Rabelaisian point and click adventure from the creator of Four Last Things and The Procession to Calvary.
## About This Game
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the
seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day
he rested.
“Did you have a nice week?” asked Mrs God.
“No.” Replied God. “I have birthed another pitifully substandard world.
Destined, no doubt, to spiral over millennia into a violent capitalist
nightmare, just like all the rest of them.”
“Never mind,” said Mrs God. “Chicken pie for dinner!”
## Story
Immortal John is dying. As his last surviving heir, you have been summoned to
hear his dying wish. Will he ask you to avenge his death!? To murder all those
who have wronged him!!? To bring to fruition his life long plan to topple the
ruling elite from within, shattering the balance of power, and ultimately
saving the world!!!? Or will he simply ask you to stop being such a c***?
Only time will tell. Or me, I can tell you – It’s the last one.
Death of the Reprobate is a gentle story about helping people and being a nice
lad. Travel around a quiet, rural town – help the locals in their day to day
tasks. Wander into the nearby woods – make idle chit-chit with a woman
submerged neck-deep in a tiny pond. Climb to an idyllic viewpoint in the
mountains, overlooking earth and sea and sky, the natural and the man-made,
the eternal mystery held within the infinite depths of the distant horizon –
help a man shoot some birds. This is a game full of slow burning simple
pleasures…
…Until the Devil gets involved.
## 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 – 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 – Music by Eduardo Antonello. Period appropriate music that adapts as the story progresses, recorded using real medieval/renaissance instruments.
* Standalone Story – Death of the Reprobate is set in the same world as Four Last Things and The Procession to Calvary, and features some recurring characters/themes, but it can be played independently.
* 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)
