Tim Schaffer’s last LucasArts adventure is a stunning amalgam of film noir storytelling, Mexican day of the dead and Art Deco imagery, and Aztec mythology into a sublime (if slightly dated) storytelling experience.\nPlaying this nearly 20 year old game can be a bit daunting, even with the great remaster. We discuss how to get the most out of this great while avoiding the frustration that comes along with its slightly antique game design.\nGrim Fandango Remastered is available on PC, Mac, and Linux, and on the PS4 and PS Vita consoles. It’s a steal at only $15! Expect it to take between 7 and 12 hours to complete, depending on your reliance on hints or walkthroughs.\nWalkthroughs\nEurogamer walkthrough\nGrim Fandango Hints from UHS – Desktop site\nGrim Fandango Hints from UHS – Mobile site (less ugly)\nLinks for this episode\n\n1998 in video gaming\nResidualVM\nDigital archaeology: How Double Fine, Disney, LucasFilm and Sony resurrected Grim Fandango \nInvisiClues\nOur Interactive Fiction Episode\nThe Digital Game Museum\nTim Schafer Plays Grim Fandango – Part 1\n\n\nYou can follow our show on Twitter at @_shortgame\nSee our list of upcoming games, and make suggestions..\nLike the show?
