High art meets ludicrous comedy. Monty Python-esque Death of the Reprobate launches today on Steam. "Oh lord, can't I just ***** perish already", says dev on release of final game in trilogy.

7th November – Developer Joe Richardson is very tired, but is extremely proud to finally announce the launch of Death of the Reprobate, the standalone conclusion to the hilarious Immortal John Triptych, on Steam today on 7th November.

Death of the Reprobate follows on from Richardson’s previous titles, Four Last Things and The Procession to Calvary, with a delightful blend of classic point-and-click gameplay, mischievous puzzles, and absurdist humor, all wrapped in a vibrant style that uses real Renaissance art as the foundation of your wild adventure.

Death of the Reprobate is a gentle story about being nice. Step into the bloodied boots of Malcolm the Shit, who lives up to his distinct moniker as a gleefully cruel and inventive executioner. Malcolm is the last remaining heir of the now-dying Immortal John, who charges him with fighting against his nature and completing seven good deeds before sundown in order to earn his inheritance.


Guided by Our Lord God Almighty, wielder of large arrows that point at clues and interactables, Malcolm must assist a host of eclectic and outrageous characters to help secure his much-desired titles and riches. Find a woman stuck neck-deep in a pond looking for idle chit-chat, or climb the mountains and take in the wondrous spectacle that is the nature of life by helping shoot down some birds (that’s a good deed?).

Fans of classic point-and-click adventures including The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, The Curse of Monkey Island, and possibly even Escape from Monkey Island will love the Rabelaisian* comedy, colourful interactions, and delightfully bizarre world of Death of the Reprobate.
*It means “bawdy”.

Richardson’s distinctive style imbues life into the surreal world and eclectic characters of Death of the Reprobate. The game showcases classical masterpieces from artists such as Pieter Brueghel and John Everett Millais and beautifully complemented by music from Eduardo Antonello, recorded with Renaissance period instruments to enhance the game’s unique charm and experience.

The series has already garnered critical acclaim, with Polygon describing its predecessor The Procession to Calvary as “a smart and funny tableau of Monty Python-style jokes”. Death of the Reprobate’s unique blend of high art and vulgar comedy will delight both longtime fans and newcomers to the Immortal John Triptych.
Speaking of the launch, Joe Richardson said: “Oh lord, can’t I just [blip] perish already. I have to provide [blip] developer quotes as well now!? Four years crafting my magnum opus and now I must grovel upon bended knee, cap in hand, bottom lip aquiver, to convince these [blip] to even bother to press play on the embedded [blip] YouTube video?!”

When coerced by his PR agency to include a more moderate quote, Richardson added: “If you like your masterpieces chopped to shreds and your game developers burnt out and thoroughly defeated then boy oh boy, do we have a treat in store for you!”

Features include:

Classic point-and-click gameplay with modern amenities – use the ‘verb coin’ interaction menu to explore unique interactions and place, push, or insert things where they don’t belong

Explore Joe Richardson’s beautiful blend of Renaissance, Rococo, and Romantic art. Hundreds of paintings spanning hundreds of years of artistry are brought to life in Death of the Reprobate’s infectiously charming world

A standalone story makes Death of the Reprobate both a perfect independent entry into the Immortal John Triptych and a heartwarmingly satisfying finale for longtime fans

Highbrow meets buffoonery. Enjoy a delightful combination of high-art influences and boorish comedy, including the occasional gag about butts.

Death of the Reprobate launches today on PC via Steam on 7th November.


Happy Gaming!
