Out now with Linux support is Death of the Reprobate, a comedy point and click adventure game styled like renaissance artwork from Joe Richardson.
This is the third and final instalment of the Immortal John Triptych, spiritual successor to Four Last Things and The Procession to Calvary. You don't need to have played previous games though, it's thoroughly funny and weird to play through entirely by itself. If you love classic British comedy like Monty Python, you're going to love this.

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)

I've been eagerly awaiting this for some time now! It was great to see it pop up in my notifications yesterday. The first two in the series are utterly delightful, too. Still stuck into Satisfactory for the time being, but I've already got this installed and ready to go for when I tire of factory management.
