Product Features
- Puzzling Pilgrimages - A traditional narrative adventure game, with a modernised interface. Control your character(s) via direct control, interact with people and places with a snazzy ‘verb coin’ interaction menu, and drag and drop (or hoard) your precious items from a simple drop-down inventory
- Renaissance Artwork – Renaissance, Rococo and even a hint of Romanticism, to be a little more precise. Hundreds of paintings, spanning hundreds of years, are all brought together into one consistent world
- Classical Music – A mix of publicly available classics and works from musician Eduardo Antonello populate the Triptychs airwaves. Period appropriate music that adapts as the story progresses, recorded using real medieval/renaissance instruments
- Standalone Story – Four Last Things, The Procession to Calvary, and Death of the Reprobate feature unique stories with recurring characters/themes all within the same world
- Highbrow Buffoonery – Lofty subject matter is treated with gleeful flippancy. Gags about butts are taken very seriously. But rest assured, while some of the jokes may be ridiculous, the puzzles make perfect sense! (or at least adhere to a consistent internal logic)
- Fully Remastered – Unified UI overhaul across the board, never-before-seen deleted and bonus scenes, QoL improvements, full controller support, and an arm in the air waving like it just doesn’t care. The Immortal John Triptych brings the ultimate Joe Richardson experience to the forefront

Item Description
The Immortal John Triptych is a narrative point-and-click adventure anthology that unites three interconnected stories crafted from Renaissance-era paintings and irreverent humor. Combining traditional adventure design with modernized systems, the collection delivers a singular experience defined by surreal storytelling, classical art, and meticulously structured puzzles.
The Immortal John Triptych gathers Four Last Things, The Procession to Calvary, and Death of the Reprobate into a single, fully remastered anthology. Created by Joe Richardson, these adventures form a loosely connected trilogy set within the same absurdist universe, where Renaissance artwork is repurposed into expressive characters, locations, and narrative devices.
The stories follow misguided heroes, fallen saints, and morally confused schemers navigating themes of sin, death, judgment, and redemption. Everyday errands spiral into philosophical chaos, while celestial forces and divine bureaucracy loom in the background. The writing blends highbrow references with deliberately lowbrow humor, presenting intellectual satire without sacrificing accessibility.
Updated interfaces, quality-of-life improvements, and newly added bonus content unify the trilogy into a cohesive experience. Despite their shared world and themes, each entry remains narratively complete while reinforcing the overarching tone of absurdism and theatrical excess.
