Figures and chiaroscuro predominate in this graphic adventure, where the lights and the shadows are represented with rigorous strokes of coal pencil. This graphic-interactive challenge has been possible thanks to the collaboration with Unit Experimental (collaboration group between the Faculty of BBAA and the Higher Technical School of Informatics Engineering of the Polytechnic University of València).
