Death of the Reprobate PC

Death of the Reprobate is a point & click adventure game set in the world created for Four Last Things and The Procession to Calvary. The development of this game was led by Joe Richardson - an independent developer, who gained recognition from the aforementioned projects.

Plot

Death of the Reprobate tells a story full of black, often absurd humor. During the game we take on the role of the main heir of Immortal John, who, on his deathbed, demands that his son makes drastic changes in his life (to put it mildly). To accomplish this, the hero must explore his hometown and its surroundings, helping its residents solve the problems that plague them daily.

Even though the action of the game is set in the world of Joe Richardson's two previous works, familiarity with them is not necessary to fully understand it. Nevertheless, players who have completed Four Last Things and The Procession to Calvary will find some references to these titles and various "winks".

Gameplay

Death of the Reprobate does not stand out in terms of mechanics from most other productions of this genre. The adventure leads us through various locations - from city streets and building interiors, through the surrounding forest, to peaks from which we can admire picturesque panoramas. As we explore them, we talk to characters for whom we perform various quests. The game is made more attractive by various puzzles based on interacting with characters and objects, as well as collecting items and using them in specific ways.

Graphics

Similar to Joe Richardson's previous projects, Death of the Reprobate offers an unusual graphic design. It is an original "conglomeration" of elements from hundreds of paintings representing the Renaissance, Rococo and Romantic styles, which are in the public domain (it allows for free use of their digital reproductions). The game is played to the accompaniment of atmospheric music. Eduardo Antonello used real instruments from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
