Immortal John Triptych bundles Joe Richardson’s Renaissance games

Joe Richardson’s Immortal John Triptych packages his three collage-style games-Four Last Things, The Procession to Calvary and Death of the Reprobate-into a single anthology listed for wishlist on Xbox by publisher Akupara Games.

The anthology adds deleted scenes, timelapse videos that show Richardson’s process, updated language parity across the titles, and an expanded soundtrack by Eduardo Antonello with new recordings. It also introduces a manual save option in Four Last Things, new movement options such as backflips in The Procession to Calvary, and a novelty button that plays a trumpeted fanfare.

The three interlinked stories follow Immortal John through settings built from cut-up Renaissance paintings set to classical music. Gameplay combines puzzles and dialogue as players chase a tyrant, assist inept magicians, negotiate with a depiction of God, and help locals with everyday tasks. Scenes include comedic interactions such as slapping the rear of cows and clerics.

Richardson created the game scenes by cutting and pasting elements from historical Renaissance paintings, arranging visual components first and adding puzzles and story afterward. The timelapse videos in the collection show how individual scenes were assembled from those source fragments.

The titles were previously released separately. The anthology packages them together with technical updates and extra content and is being handled by Akupara Games, which has listed The Immortal John Triptych for wishlist on Xbox.
