I had to think about this game for a while. Four Last Things presents like something I would be totally into: a point-and-click adventure through an absurdist world collaged together from medieval paintings by Jan van Eyck, Hieronymus Bosch, and others. You play as a repentant sinner who wants to enter a church for confession, but thanks to bizarre jurisdiction rules, the priests won't let you. Instead, they offer …

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 …

Such a lovely medieval sin simulator. It’s silly, smart, and surprisingly beautiful in its own weird way. Confessing your sins has never been this fun!!

Four Last Things, developed by Joe Richardson and published by Akupara Games, is a refreshingly unique point-and-click adventure that cleverly fuses classical Renaissance art with absurdist humor to craft an experience unlike many others in the indie gaming scene. Released in early 2017, the game has earned widespread acclaim for its inventive approach, blending a quirky narrative with eye-catching visuals derived …

96% of the 180 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Four Last Things. The complaint that keeps coming up: some puzzles require moon logic or a guide. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The game, its concept, and its art were given a fairly positive review in PC Gamer, although the lack of a manual save function was criticized. It was nominated for Best Art at the Independent Games Festival's award show in Brazil in June 2017. The International Business Times included it on a list of eight “innovative” indie games at the London Games Festival. The IBT praised the “witty writing” of Richardson, the use of the public domain Renaissance-era paintings, and that the game allowed you to slap bishops.

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,…

Not twice shall thou see it, neither thrice. Four times is right out. And the review is thus: There are some nice paintings in it, among other things.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is quite a short point & click adventure game, but it is a gem for sure. I spent roughly 2 and half hours on this game, and that included getting all of the achievements. I actually wanted it to go on for longer as I was really enjoying it, but the given the premise it makes sense that it was the length that it is. I'm not going to say too much about the premise as I think it's better that you find out for yourself what the goal in this game is, but I think it is a really fun concept. At…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Joe Richardson has quite a reputation with his games based on old paintings and funny sometimes puerile humor. So many have recommended this so this one was my first foray into the particular series and i was not disappointed. Quite decent adventure game and good stuff to look into. I am not quite sure i care to pay too much about these but -65% sales price was just right for this level of fun.

Likely wrapping the night by finishing up Four Last Things when it's late enough for how twisted & sus that game gets. Firing up in 2 hours at 6pm PDT!

The puzzles are well done and the progression is flowing really well. If you like point and click games in any way, this is an easy win.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After all the time spent searching for the answers, you learn at the end that the game was just a two-hour long puzzle to get to the creator's boring, edge-lord statement on religion and the afterlife. I think I wrote a more compelling argument against the church when I was 12 years old and still an atheist. If someone's interested in art and thinks this game would be fun to observe and learn about the paintings, I encourage them to visit online sources to enjoy the artworks instead. Also, you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You should not miss Four Last Things. It can be finished in less than two hours and will leave a lasting positive impression. This is a masterpiece, not only as a game but as a work of art.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Jokes are pretty subjective. For me this game wasn't that funny at all. I think I chuckled once or twice but it's just that many jokes were pretty head on and fell flat. A burp here, a fart there, it get's boring pretty fast. Some of those achivements were actually horrible to get and so tedouis! The art and animations were enjoyable!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What an incredible, absolute masterpiece. Joe Richardson, I don't know who you are, but you deserve a spot among the greats. I'm buying everything you made.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As obnoxious as I sound, a hint button would be great to help push it along. Gorgeous artwork. Short fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and lacking in gameplay department, but the artistry and the humour definitely make up for it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Took me about 2 hours to finish everything. The goal is to commit 7 sins in a small town. Lust and Wrath were kinda tough to figure out, rest was simple but I had a good laugh and the Hieronymus Bosch paintings animated were cool to look at. On sale only. 2 hours of gameplay is not much for the price they ask.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Medieval shenanigans, high-resolution historical art, sinning in ridiculous fashion, and ridiculous meta-breaking humour... What more could I want?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short and quite funny point and click with art made entirely out of classical paintings and music. The puzzles weren't as straightforward as I'd expect them to be, judging from the short playtime. But they also weren't too hard. If you're a fan of absurd humor, you should like the game - it does have the vibe of Monty Python animations.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If Monty Python made a take on Renaissance pt. 1 My girlfriend picked this game out of our mutual game list, since the adaptation of renaissance art in an adventure game was appealing for the both of us. You play as someone who is in urge to commit 7 sins in order to finally make a confession, because those he committed in a neighboring pastry wouldn't count. Thus ensues your adventures in figuring your way through wit and shenanigans. With such a Monty Pythonesque setup in a graphic sense,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was playing The Procession to Calvary tonight and enjoyed it so much I had to play the game before it (Four Last Things) as well! These games give off some strong Terry Gilliam inspiration. They're short, but really funny and clever. Can't want to play Death of the Reprobate this weekend!
positive · AI labelView post →The concept and the execution of the mixed artworks is really great, and the story is simple but surprisingly complex to execute on. Looking forward to the rest of the trilogy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, art is probably the highlight, and the puzzles are pretty good difficulty wise. Keep in mind the game is not all that long, but it is a tight package. Recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Free Pass to Sin (Without Actually Getting in Trouble If you love funny games with artsy flair and a healthy disrespect for consequences, this is your jam. This game is like a guided tour through the seven deadly sins except instead of committing them in real life (please don’t) , you get to giggle at them here instead. 😹 The humor is excellent: dry, clever, and perfectly matched with the absurdity of the art style. And that ending? ROFL. It felt exactly right, expected but also…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short point-and-click adventure game. Got stuck a few times where there did not seem to be anything to do, but got through it eventually. Decent game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Speedrun the seven deadly sins in a point and click with humor inspired by Monty Python, visuals from Heirnonymous Bosch (and others) and gameplay from monkey island. Picked it up on sale and enjoyed the experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Moderately entertaining and silly game. The puzzles weren't crazy difficult, but a few required a bit of thought to figure out. Overall an enjoyable, if short, experience. Worth it on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A spot of fun silliness for when you need a break from stories, or the grind, or other such serious things such as life. Ok, it DOES have a story but it's short and reminiscent of a Monty Python skit: your character has a bad dream about Adam taking an apple and happening to him, so he runs across the world to a church that refuses to absolve him of his sins because he didn't do them in the local region. So you go to do all the seven sins again to work around the beaurocracy. Reasons to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I could give this game an in-between review but since there's no option and I didn't enjoy it as much, I'm gonna have to give it a negative review. :/ To get it out of the way, the only pros I'd give it are the visuals. They're basically just animated collage from works of well-known painters which I think is pretty neat. I don't mind that it's a short experience. It was fine. However, I wasn't the biggest fan of some of the puzzles even if I did get them in the end and some of the jokes…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the Point and Click genre very much. I grew up with the Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, and the variety of P&C games LucasArts had to offer. I also love the Renaissance/Medieval theme. You put the stupid humor, quirkiness, and charm of the Monkey Island games with a Renaissance skin, that is this game. Very enjoyable; from the art design, funny dialogue, and things you do to progress the game. Worth a playthrough! I recommend to pick it up when it's on sale (Its usually very cheap whether…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has a great sense of humor and the way the painting are used /combined/woven in the story etc. is really good (together with the music). I particularly enjoyed that you are able to see the original paintings with their title and artist in the art gallery and that you can also find the name of all the music pieces by looking at the musicians. The puzzles themselves were also, while not that complicated, enjoyable <3 . It's just maybe a little short and i wish I could have fed and pet…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Most fun way to commit sins!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game wishing to relive the feeling I had after completing Please, touch the artwork 2. It's as visually and musically astonishing as the mentioned game, however, it didn't feel like a point-and-click, it was rather quite an overwhelming RPG with loads of dialogue options. Why negative? Because it made me rush to finish the game and collect the achievements, and I couldn't refuse doing all of that once I started playing it with these intentions.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A masterpiece indeed. Follies abound! Enjoyable in a single sitting on a cold Sunday afternoon, such as I did.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great Monty Python like point and click adventure about committing the seven deadly sins. There's a lot of great humor all the way through. The town is very small and the game itself is short but you'll be laughing throughout all of it. You could absolutely finish this in one sitting and you'll likely have a blast throughout!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a 2.5 hour long Monty Python-style point and click game from your dreams, where you must commit the seven deadly sins in order to receive forgiveness. Made up of gorgeous, timeless Renaissance-era paintings and classical music. Guaranteed to make you laugh. What more is there to say? Hell yeah for the public domain.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a dedicated despiser of adventure games, this is one of the least hateworthy I've encountered. Puzzles were, with one exception, pretty much straightforward and grounded entirely in world logic. At least one puzzle was solved by just straight up murder. The art style was nice. The writing was fun and the concept was funny and unique. I'd say it reaches the halls of adventure games people should actually consider playing, like the old Lucasarts games and Rama. Still a cursed genre,…
