Description (in English)

A character is murdered, returns to earth to relive his last hours and tries to avoid death. This hypermedia uses the myth of Faust, which helps in tracking history. The issue of disorientation is thus treated since the narrative itself, which eliminates the need for an interface apparent.

Un personnage, victime d’un meurtre, revient sur terre pour revivre ses dernières heures et tenter d’éviter l’issue fatale. Cet hypermédia utilise le mythe de Faust, ce qui favorise le repérage dans l’histoire. La question de la désorientation est ainsi traitée depuis la narration elle-même, ce qui évite de recourir à une interface apparente.
