Sometimes your game or your story just needs to throw away all sense for an hour in favor of a good time. That's Procession to Calvary, a goofy murder adventure in Renaissance painting art, combining gruesome imagery with silly sight gags and one liners.

The "story" involves a knight who doesn't want the holy war to be over, so she heads off to go kill her old boss as the only person she's still allowed to kill. After that, its typical point and click quests and every excuse possible to create the stupidest animation and wordplay jokes possible. I do appreciate any game that gives you multiple ways to approach a problem though, particularly if it makes an experience a little faster. You'll frequently allowed to just stab your way through problems if you want to skip a puzzle, although it permanently changes your ending. So a single playthrough could be about two hours, or it could be five minutes. That sort of offering is charming on its own and it makes this one of those games that makes getting every ending or achievement quick and rewarding.
