I'm still catching up with the videos, but this does seem like a remarkably well-made game and I feel like I missed out, having had no idea this existed back when I was a kid.
It's well-written, the art and voice acting is pretty well-done, there's plenty to do and look at, and the puzzle design feels halfway decent. I watched the old 1973 three musketeers film recently, and it feels like the designers were trying to capture a similar brand of comedy.

Is it just me or do some of the sprites look like they're cribbed heavily from monkey island 2 - I haven't checked but the proportions and posture look really familiar, like someone took them as a.

You know, now that it's been mentioned, the VA for Geoffroi does sound quite a bit like Eric Idle.
I was wondering about the scope reduction thing, although it is in the spirit of adventure games to have no money throughout most of the game and have to barter/steal/improvise everything instead of just buying it.
