Art history-mangling adventure The Procession To Cavalry turns to crowdfunding

Four Last Things

Four Last Things is a point-and-click adventure game made from Renaissance-era paintings and public domain recordings of classical music. It is about sin, and the Four Last Things – Death, Judgement, Heaven and Hell – and strives to be intelligent and ridiculous in equal measures.

If Renaissance-era art was anywhere near as funny as point-and-click adventure The Procession To Cavalry makes it look, I’d probably know a lot more art history right now. Sequel to the similarly Gilliam-inspired Four Last Things, it’s a very silly tour through some of the most iconic artworks of the renaissance. Apparently buying famous artworks in order to snip them up and make silly animations with costs money, as developer Joe Richardson has turned to Kickstarter to push this one to a hopeful April 2019 finish. It’s around two thirds funded, with 22 days to go.
