The Procession to Calvary is a quest for vengeance, but it’s not exactly a serious one. I mean, you can murder anyone who gives you a puzzle you don’t like, so…
The holy war may be over, but things are still a bit messy. There’s all of the dead innocent folks, the church is in shambles, and Heavenly Peter is still on the loose (although he doesn’t sound that bad from the name, honestly). You’re in charge of finding him, so you’ll need to cut yet another swath through the countryside, solving puzzles or stabbing folks along the way. Just don’t get too carried away with the latter.
The world is a treat to meander through, what with it being composed of people and places from Renaissance art. The works of Rembrandt, Botticelli, Michelangelo, and more are made to move, Monty Pyton-style, for your delight and amusement, creating the backbone of a lovely absurd land. These striking pieces of art seem to loan themselves to chaos and silly mayhem once they’re in motion, making the game’s already-funny situations that much more laughable. It’s just a continual treat to see this ridiculous stuff all happening with such striking works of art.
Oh right, and the murders. You have a sword, and while most adventure games discourage one-size-fits-all solutions, a sword can be a very useful tool when people ask you to go get an item that’s buried beneath like ten puzzles. You’re warned that cutting through the populace of The Procession to Cavalry might have some consequences, though, but simply being able to do so seems to add even more goofball charm to an already delightful bit of silliness.
The Procession to Calvary is available now on Steam.
