Hear ye, hear ye! Joe Richardson alongside publisher Akupara Games, and Soft Source are proud to declare that their facetiously foolish Renaissance adventure, The Immortal John Triptych, has officially made its way onto Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, and PlayStation 5 consoles!
“I spent ten long years cutting up these fucking paintings. My fingers are whittled to nubs, my eye balls shriveled to dusty pucks, my rapidly shrinking brain rattles loose inside my age-yellowed skull. But we’re doing Switch 2 physicals so I guess I can chalk it up as a win.” – Joe Richardson
Not only is this award-winning amalgamation coming to consoles, but we’re celebrating with an official Lost in Cult physical release for PS5 and Nintendo Switch including dev booklet, art cards, stickers, and a poster, a Soft Source Asia physical release, and exclusive Yetee t-shirt showing all the musical toot tooot teet teet and more tooting that you’ll experience in the weird wacky world of Joe Richardson. Players will be able to put their iconographic sacraments of the one holy mighty John right in their living room, next to their decrepit dog.

About The Immortal John Triptych
Three Pythonesque adventures made from Renaissance paintings and reckless ambition. Pilfer from pirates, conspire with cardinals, and face the Four Last Things. Explore luscious landscapes and preposterous portraits in this gloriously silly, deeply intelligent trilogy. With Metacritic scores of 83, 78, and 81 and ratings of Overwhelmingly Positive across all three titles on Steam, Joe Richardson has already captivated the hearts, minds, and feet of players and critics alike and now… the pews are about to get a hell of a lot more crowded.
Features:
- Puzzling Pilgrimages – A traditional narrative adventure game, with a modernised interface. Control your character(s) via direct control, interact with people and places with a snazzy ‘verb coin’ interaction menu, and drag and drop (or hoard) your precious items from a simple drop-down inventory.
- 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 – A mix of publicly available classics and works from musician Eduardo Antonello populate the Triptych’s airwaves. Period appropriate music that adapts as the story progresses, recorded using real medieval/renaissance instruments.
- Standalone Story – Four Last Things, The Procession to Calvary, and Death of the Reprobate feature unique stories with recurring characters/themes all within the same world.
- 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)
- Fully Remastered – Unified UI overhaul across the board, never-before-seen deleted and bonus scenes, QoL improvements, full controller support, and an arm in the air waving like it just doesn’t care. The Immortal John Triptych brings the ultimate Joe Richardson experience to the forefront.
Joe Richardson makes small logic-driven worlds because the overwhelming chaotic disgusting beautiful unfathomable mess of the real world scares the shits out of him. He calls his worlds “games” and you can play with them and you might have fun. Wouldn’t that be nice?
