Plenty of games would like to think they’re Pythonesque; Joe Richardson’s point-and-click adventure is one of the few that earns the right to describe itself thus. Its playful collages of Renaissance artworks, brought to vivid life through deliberately rudimentary cut-out animations, capture the absurdist spirit and gleeful vulgarity of Terry Gilliam’s work in particular. It effortlessly veers between high- and lowbrow: a familiarity with the work of Vermeer comes in handy in one scene, while another invites you to choose from which orifice you’d like to pass wind.
