Nice graphics. I was surprised to hear a french theme song. Before reading the presentation, I assumed the hero was spanish since he looks a bit like Zorro and the game is developed in Spain.
This is remotely inspired by "The black tulip" which was written by Alexandre Dumas (same as the 3 musketeers and Count of Monte Christo). Even though not massively famous, the original story and its character still had some success in Western Europe, there was a movie with Alain Delon and so on. Hence the French/Spanish vibe : The movie was mostly a French production but it's one of those things that are in the collective pop culture of non-English Europe. So much so that a Spanish team decided to make a game out of it.
And yes, he's like a French
Zorro (preceding Zorro's creation by 70 years
). You could also say he's like a French
Scarlett Pimpernel (except the Scarlett Pimpernel is ultra-royalist bullshit
).
In conclusion :
This is a very cool project inspired by an underrated main adventure character. And they changed it enough to make it their own. Win-win!
