Short but fun and wacky adventure, very monty python-esque using medieval artwork for all the backdrops and characters.

Good way to appreciate the fine arts regarding mostly religious background/context. The humor was well put and the problem solving was not too difficult. I honestly enjoyed this the most for seeing what was painting over 3-4 hundred years ago, the absurdity yet the beauty of it all in today's light.

I've had my eyes on the Joe Richardson games for a bit. I like poink adventures, Hieronymus Bosch is the goat of Renaissance art, and I like to chuckle. What could go wrong?
Nothing really. Four Last Things is a very good and short game. I chuckled and sinned and chuckled some more. And a bit more sinning for good measure.
There was one puzzle I looked up the answer for and it was like, yeah, ok, fine, I guess. Otherwise the rest were clever.
So, yeah, thumbs up. Go get your sin on!

Silly, little adventure about sinning, confessions, redemption and the bureaucratic hurdles that come with it. Great humor and art style.

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 that you exploit a loophole: re-commit all seven deadly sins within the local parish, *then* you'll be eligible for confession.
I really liked this game. It's funny, and it genuinely knows how to handle its humor. The problems you solve in almost Myst-like fashion are creative and engaging: it’s fun to scan the environment and ask, “Okay, how do I commit sloth here?”. Though the puzzles can be a bit obtuse at times, it was never in a way that felt frustrating, and more in a way that invites experimentation and play. Based on my experience, I’d absolutely recommend it.
My one point of contention is that the game seems to present itself as having deeper critical or philosophical intent, but I never really felt that come through. It feels cynical, mostly poking surface-level fun at how silly religion can *look*, without really exploring what any of it might *mean*. I think I was a bit disappointed because the premise had the potential for something more thoughtful, empathetic, or reflective. But I also feel like it's not really my place to tell someone else what contents their personal art should have, but because of this, it didn't quite land with me as much as I had hoped it would.
That said, Four Last Things is still a beautiful game with great humor and a banger soundtrack. It’s a focused, creatively interconnected experience that feels just right in length. You might walk away wishing for a little more narrative depth, but for me, it was still very much a worthwhile experience.
