Nothing to see here! Just some small bug fixes. Almost certainly didn't introduce a bunch of new bugs or accidentally break the whole game at the same time...
The third (and FINAL) installment of the Immortal John Triptych, spiritual successor to Four Last Things and The Procession to Calvary, is now available! Go go go!
Do I have to link the store page? idk, here it is just in case - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1739900/Death_of_the_Reprobate/
Save and Sound is a cool event focusing on sound/music in games. Me and my musician Eduardo made a funny little video to be part of their livestream. We greenscreened Eduardo into the game! He wore a costume and everything! It's pretty great. The stream starts at 10am Pacific / 7pm CET today. For links and schedule check out the Save and Sound website here - https://www.saveandsound.io/
Oh, and don't forget the dang game comes out on Thursday (the 7th)! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hear ye, hear ye! Death of the Reprobate will be released on November 7th! It's been a long old 4-and-a-bit years. I am withered to a husk. But it's almost done. Death of the Reprobate will finally come to Steam on November 7th 2024! Praise your lord and sharpen your sword, it's time for another Renaissanc-y adventure! (there's actually no sword in this one, but that line was slick so I'm going with it) GET IT ON YOUR WISHLISTS! [previewyoutube=X3ql6wnJwT8;full][/previewyoutube] I love you. Joe
The title says it all really. I made a little demo for Death of the Reprobate and it's available for the next week as part of Next Fest. This demo is unfortunately only available for Windows, and is not yet translated into any of the proposed additional languages. Otherwise it's basically a slightly janky version of the first couple of puzzles in the game, with a few snarky meta demo comments thrown in for good measure.
You can download the demo now on the store page.
And you can let me know what you thought in the community forum.
Please don't hate it.
Thank you.
Death of the Reprobate

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested.
“Did you have a nice week?” asked Mrs God.
“No.” Replied God. “I have birthed another pitifully substandard world. Destined, no doubt, to spiral over millennia into a violent capitalist nightmare, just like all the rest of them.”
“Never mind,” said Mrs God. “Chicken pie for dinner!”
Story
Immortal John is dying. As his last surviving heir, you have been summoned to hear his dying wish. Will he ask you to avenge his death!? To murder all those who have wronged him!!? To bring to fruition his life long plan to topple the ruling elite from within, shattering the balance of power, and ultimately saving the world!!!? Or will he simply ask you to stop being such a c***?
Only time will tell. Or me, I can tell you – It's the last one.
Death of the Reprobate is a gentle story about helping people and being a nice lad. Travel around a quiet, rural town - help the locals in their day to day tasks. Wander into the nearby woods - make idle chit-chit with a woman submerged neck-deep in a tiny pond. Climb to an idyllic viewpoint in the mountains, overlooking earth and sea and sky, the natural and the man-made, the eternal mystery held within the infinite depths of the distant horizon - help a man shoot some birds. This is a game full of slow burning simple pleasures...
...Until the Devil gets involved.
Features
- Pointing and Clicking – A traditional point and click interface, with a 'verb coin' interaction menu and a simple inventory from which you can drag and drop your preciously hoarded items.
- 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 – Music by Eduardo Antonello. Period appropriate music that adapts as the story progresses, recorded using real medieval/renaissance instruments.
- Standalone Story – Death of the Reprobate is set in the same world as Four Last Things and The Procession to Calvary, and features some recurring characters/themes, but it can be played independently.
- 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)
