The Procession To Calvary – point-and-click adventure release dates confirmed for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One
Pythonesque caper rides onto Switch and Xbox next month, PS4 version to follow

Created by UK-based solo developer Joe Richardson, The Procession To Calvary is an adventure game that evokes the surreal humour of Monty Python, and is crafted entirely from hundreds of Renaissance paintings, with works from renowned masters such as Rembrandt, Bosch, and Michelangelo painstakingly cut and pasted into a madcap montage of invigorating imagery.
In The Procession To Calvary, players embark on a quest as an unnamed heroine to hunt down the tyrant Heavenly Peter. A bizarre cast of characters, perplexing puzzles, and implausible scenarios ensures the journey is a thoroughly absurd escapade.
About the game
The Procession to Calvary is a Pythonesque adventure game in which you journey through a richly detailed landscape built from hundreds of Renaissance paintings.
Huzzah! The holy war is over! Your oppressors have been vanquished, the churches of the Old God lay in ruin and thousands of innocent people have been murdered! But it’s not all good news; the tyrant Heavenly Peter has escaped your clutches, and you have been tasked with finding him...
Key Features
- Pointing and Clicking: A traditional point and click interface, with a ’verb coin’ interaction menu and a simple inventory from which you can access your preciously hoarded items
- Renaissance Artwork: Paintings by Rembrandt, Botticelli, Michelangelo and many more are brought together into one consistent world
- Classical Music: A soundtrack selected to fit with the style of the artwork. Enjoy music from composers such as Vivaldi, Bach, and George Frideric Handel
- Optional Murder: Kill anyone who stands in your way and skip puzzles you don’t like. But be warned; your actions might come back to haunt you…
- Nonsense: Humour reminiscent of Monty Python. But rest assured, while some of the jokes may be ridiculous, the puzzles make perfect sense!
