Death of the Reprobate is now available for Windows
on
Steam, offering a point-and-click adventure game from Joe Richardson
featuring the cut-out animation style made famous by Monty Python's Terry
Gilliam. This concludes a trilogy called
The Immortal John Triptych. As seen in the
Release Trailer this
waltzes down the Danube with "luscious landscapes, turbulent townscapes and
preposterous portraits of real Renaissance paintings" for what's described as a
"Rabelaisian adventure" as comeuppance for those of us proud we didn't need to
look up the definition of reprobate. Here's more on the game, which comes with a
10% launch discount:
Death of the Reprobate is a gentle story about being
nice. Step into the bloodied boots of Malcolm the Shit, who lives up to his
distinct moniker as a gleefully cruel and inventive executioner. Malcolm is the
last remaining heir of the now-dying Immortal John, who charges him with
fighting against his nature and completing seven good deeds before sundown in
order to earn his inheritance.
Guided by Our Lord God Almighty, wielder of large arrows that point at clues and
interactables, Malcolm must assist a host of eclectic and outrageous characters
to help secure his much-desired titles and riches. Find a woman stuck neck-deep
in a pond looking for idle chit-chat, or climb the mountains and take in the
wondrous spectacle that is the nature of life by helping shoot down some birds
(that’s a good
deed?).
