Description
Pilfer from poets, bargain with bishops and serenade the local simpleton on your hapless quest for absolution. Four Last Things is a point-and-click adventure game made from Renaissance-era paintings.
It's kind of like if Monkey Island had been made in 16th century Flanders, by a time-travelling Monty Python fanboy...
***In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. God saw all that he had made, and it was good. Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
'Ooops,' said god, seeing he had created a fool. But before he was able to remedy his error, man spoke;
'No backsies!' he chirped, and scuttled off into the forest.***

Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant game
Loved the style and the art work. Had to use the walk through. Couldn't get any sound on my iphone, so one star off for these two things. Highly recommended though if you are into art and design plus point and click. Would def. buy a sequel. Maybe the pre Raphaelites ?
Brilliant look, annoying play
This game has great graphics. The Terry Gilliam-like animation, use of Renaissance art work and music make it very unusual and intriguing. The point-and-click play style is ok, but the lack if hints is pretty annoying. It is often difficult to determine where to go next in the quest to collect all the deadly sins. A tutorial would be a good idea with instruction on how to interact with the characters and how to find the clues to completing each sin.
It’s probably a lot easier to see the game in an iPad than on iPhone and that should be added to the description of the game. I wouldn’t recommend it for iPhone.
With some tweaks this would be a very good game. As it is, the £3.99 price is high. Still, fun to see all the Bosch and Bruegel art and to hear the historically accurate music.
Developer Response ,
There is a walkthrough available at joerichardson.games/fourlastthings/walkthrough. Hope that helps!
Visual wit
Lovely to have such a visually different game. It’s witty and silly and as I’m useless at gaming, I had to use a walkthrough to solve a few things. Gamers may breeze through, but I’d be surprised. To pull so many artworks into a storyline and create relevant tasks needs imagination and a cheeky sense of humour. Well done. Please do another one. Impressionism? Surrealism? Can’t wait.
