The Procession To Calvary announced for PS4

Journey through a world of Renaissance artwork, classical music, and irreverentÂ humour

Indie publisher Digerati is overjoyed to announce it’s bringingÂ The Procession To CalvaryÂ to PlayStation 4. An exact release date is still to be scheduled, but the game will be available to download from the PlayStation Store sometime in Q4 2020/Q1 2021.

Created by UK-based solo developer Joe Richardson,Â The Procession To CalvaryÂ is an adventure game that evokes the surreal humour of Monty Python, and is crafted entirely from hundreds of Renaissance paintings, with works from renownedÂ masters such asÂ Rembrandt, Bosch, andÂ Michelangelo painstakingly cut and pasted into a madcap montage of invigorating imagery.

“Making The Procession to Calvary was like taking a stroll through the Louvre,”Â Richardson recalls fondly.Â “Except I was trapped in there for 2 years while my life savings slowly dwindled to a pittance and I had to painstakingly draw lines around every tree in every painting before I was allowed to clamber from the depths, a husk of the man I once was.”

InÂ The Procession To Calvary, players embark on a quest as an unnamed heroine to hunt down the tyrant Heavenly Peter. A bizarre cast of characters, perplexing puzzles, and implausible scenarios ensures the journey is a thoroughly absurd escapade.

The Procession to CalvaryÂ is a Pythonesque adventure game in which you journey through a richly detailed landscape built from hundreds of Renaissance paintings.

Huzzah! The holy war is over! Your oppressors have been vanquished, the churches of the Old God lay in ruin and thousands of innocent people have been murdered! But it’s not all good news; the tyrant Heavenly Peter has escaped your clutches, and you have been tasked with finding him”¦
