Four Last Things

Four Last Things

Game • 2017

Four Last Things is a very silly pythonesque adventure made from Renaissance-era paintings and public domain recordings of classical music. It is about sin, and the Four Last Things – Death, Judgement, Heaven and Hell – and strives to be intelligent and ridiculous in equal measures.

Ages 12+, but every child is different

The satirical exploration of abstract theological concepts like sin, judgment, and death requires a level of cognitive maturity and historical literacy. Younger children will likely find the surreal collage style and philosophical focus confusing or disconnected.

Content Safety Breakdown

Detailed breakdown of potentially concerning content

Sex & Nudity

1/5

The film utilizes Renaissance paintings, which occasionally include classical artistic depictions of nudity or suggestive poses. These are presented in a historical, non-sexualized context consistent with art history.

Violence & Gore

2/5

The film explores themes of death and judgment, featuring stylized, often darkly humorous depictions of historical paintings showing suffering or execution. These are presented as static art rather than graphic, live-action violence.

Profanity

1/5

The dialogue is generally clean, with very infrequent and mild uses of words like h*ll (used once or twice) in keeping with the film's philosophical and theological subject matter.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

1/5

There are occasional, brief references to historical depictions of drinking, but these are incidental to the narrative and not presented as a focal point for substance use.

Frightening Scenes

2/5

The tone is surreal and slightly macabre due to the focus on death and judgment, which may be confusing or slightly unsettling for younger children. It is intended to be intellectually absurd rather than scary.
