The Procession to Calvary

The Procession to Calvary turns a Renaissance painting collage into a point-and-click comedy, and that odd match is its main draw. By our assessment, it is at its best when you are wandering through absurd little scenes, picking through dialogue, inventory oddities, and visual jokes that lean hard on art history. The trade-off is that the joke style does a lot of the work, so if that deadpan, cut-and-paste humour does not land, the whole thing can feel thin. In practice it plays like a short puzzle adventure that asks more for curiosity and patience than for twitch skill. Compared with more serious adventure games, it is looser and sillier, but also much narrower in its appeal. The Procession to Calvary suits people who enjoy offbeat point-and-click games and can live with some trial-and-error in the puzzles.
