Triptych is an arcade game released in 2003, though recent coverage centers on The Immortal John Triptych, a collection of three Renaissance-inspired adventure games - Four Last Things, The Procession to Calvary, and Death of the Reprobate - published by DreadXP and developed by Joe Richardson. The collection launched for PlayStation 5 and other consoles on August 27.
The games draw their visual style from classical paintings brought to life, with developers working through unconventional design challenges during creation.

These titles have garnered critical acclaim for their distinctive artistic approach to adventure gaming.
