Dossier Urbicande.be

Urbicande.be was a website providing an interactive webfiction, based on the series Les Cités Obscures by the authors François Schuiten & Benoît Peeters, and was developed by the authors and the companies Editions Casterman, Commediastra & Magic Square. Urbicande.be was the offical Internet site of Schuiten and Peeters.

The first version of urbicande.be was launched in December 1995. The website was a great success for many years, with over 10,000 visitors per month. But the website was not updated anymore since 2011. In May 2015 the website was stopped and archived at altaplana.be.
