The Procession of Calvary is what you'd call a, er, unique project. Created by UK developer Joe Richardson, it combines Renaissance art with classical music and Monty Python-esque humour. The result is a potentially hilarious little point and click puzzler. Going by the above announcement trailer, this is one to keep an eye on.
"The Procession to Calvary is an adventure game composed entirely from Renaissance art. It features beautiful artwork, classical music and irreverent humour, and it strives to be intelligent and ridiculous in equal measure," Richardson writes on the PlayStation Blog.
He continues: "In The Procession to Calvary you will point-and-click your way through a self-appointed mission to track down the tyrant Heavenly Peter. On your journey you will encounter a bizarre cast of characters, including a woefully depressed composer, a cave full of mischievous daemons, and an incompetent street magician bearing a striking resemblance to the son of God." Honestly, we're already sold.
Brilliantly, if you don't fancy solving a puzzle, you can simply murder people to progress. However, butchering the inhabitants of this weird world will apparently have consequences.
What do you make of The Procession to Calvary? It's set to launch on PS4 "in the coming months".

There have been several puzzle-givers in the Layton series that I’d have quite happily murdered. Will keep my eye on this.
That does look rather eye-catching. As long as they can pull off the Monty Python style humour, then I'd be very interested in this.
Forsooth, Signeth me up henceforth and without ado, good sir. Pray tell, from whence can this illustrious, nay marvellous, merriment be purchased?
Surely the good Mr Richardson will earn a fine guinea for his efforts.
@crimsontadpoles I think it looks good. It reminds me conceptually of My Name Is Mayo, which I (easily, like everybody else) platinumed. Have you ever played that or do you think you would in the future?
@Draco_V_Ecliptic I haven't. My dislike for the taste of mayonnaise has somewhat soured me on that game.
I like me some Monty Python. I just watched the life of Brian the other day. I may have to check this out.
This looks glorious. Can't wait.
Already getting this day one just for the art style alone. Really reminds me a lot of the Monty Python movies.
Sounds pretty blasphemous. Hard pass.
