The work of The Game Kitchen bases its setting and history on the famous Spanish holiday.
Anyone who knows the Holy Week Spanish and have played Blasphemous, you will have found more than remarkable similarities. The Seville studio The Game Kitchen has based his successful Blasphemous on some of the most outstanding aspects of Andalusian culture, something that can be seen both in the figure of the Penitente, the protagonist of the game, or in the soundtrack of the adventure
Canal Sur has used the music from the trailer for the latest Blasphemous expansionAnd that’s exactly what we’re here to talk about, the music so characteristic of Blasphemous. The tones and instruments used in the delivery are very similar to those that star in the Holy Week processions in Andalusia, and it seems that the iconic TV channel of this region has realized this. Recently, south channel has published a video on Twitter to promote the return of the holiday after the problems of the pandemic, something that has been accompanied with the music of the latest Blasphemous trailer dedicated to its new expansion.
This video could excite any follower of Holy Week, but we are forced to point out a ‘but’ in this relationship: Canal Sur has not asked The Game Kitchen for permission to use your game music. Although this is reason enough to end up in court, the Sevillian studio has simply celebrated the recognition of Blasphemous for his cultural component and has given a small touch of attention to the TV channel so that they contact the developers for future occasions.
The peculiarities of Blasphemous have attracted the attention of a good handful of players, something that has reached the point of producing a documentary dedicated to its development. As for the adventure of the Penitente, in our analysis we have highlighted the interesting world that has been created from the offices of The Game Kitchen, although we think that does not finish taking advantage of its full potential.
