I usually enjoy doing more detailed characters but I also like the freedom I have while working on projects on my own and so I wanted to do something more personal this time.

Like most people in the industry, I play video games… a lot, but my introduction to them as a child was through point and click adventures, so I still have a soft spot for story-driven games, with character arcs and obnoxious puzzles. The Longest Journey is still, almost 20 years later, my favorite game.

On a personal level it is a game that influenced me very early in life thanks to its progressive views, good setting and story, good female lead and also humour so I chose to re-imagine the prologue scene, not just because opening chapters in video games are often iconic but because this particular scene also references (whether willing or not) two of my favorite literary pieces: «The Divine Comedy» and «The Aeneid».
