Four Last Things

I started playing this wonderful game fairly late one Saturday evening, being a sinner, I had some free time the subsequent Sunday and intended to evaluate it as a candidate for the following day's entertainment. One puzzle led to another, the Bosch-and-Bruegel collage charmed me into submission, distracted by my own chuckling, the small hours had crept up on me, and the credits were rolling. I finished it in a single sitting. I now intend to evangelise to my immediate family, so they can too, bask in this game's glory.

A bite-sized and very original, enjoyable point-and-click adventure game, which uses classical music and paintings from previous eras and weaves them into a Monty Python meets Monkey Island-esque journey. It's only very short-lived, and there's definitely some moon logic in here - two or three of these puzzles desperately need some more breadcrumb trailing and the dev really could have just tested this game with a few more people for a few hours and made it better. But with that said, I had some genuine laughs. The art and the music is great, and it's just a very fresh game. The fact that this is also a great gateway for people not familiar with these works of art into finding more about them is a big plus in its favour for me too. Currently on sale for £2.79 on Steam, and for that, it's definitely worth a purchase.

Incredibly funny and irreverent. It contains a certain charm that can only come from a game like this, and I loved it to bits.
