Unlike the earlier 2D LucasArts games, the player is informed of objects or persons of interest not by text floating on the screen when the player passes a cursor over them, but instead by the fact that Manny will turn his head towards that object or person as he walks. The player reviews the inventory of items that Manny has collected by watching him pull each item in and out of his coat jacket.

Synopsis Setting Grim Fandango takes place in the Land of the Dead (the Eighth Underworld), where recently departed souls aim to make their way to the Land of Eternal Rest (the Ninth Underworld).

Good deeds in life are rewarded by access to better travel packages to assist in making the journey of the soul, the best of which is the Number Nine, a train that takes four minutes to reach the gate to the Ninth Underworld. Souls who did not lead a kind life are left to travel through the Land of the Dead on foot, which would take around four years. Such souls often lose faith in the existence of the Ninth Underworld and instead find jobs in the Land of the Dead. The travel agents of the Department of Death act as the to escort the souls from the mortal world to the Land of the Dead, and then determine which mode of transport the soul has merited. Each year on the, these souls are allowed to visit their families in the Land of the Living.The souls in the Land of the Dead appear as skeletal calaca figures. Alongside them are demons that have been summoned to help with the more mundane tasks of day-to-day life, such as vehicle maintenance.

The souls themselves can suffer death-within-death by being 'sprouted', the result of being shot with 'sproutella'-filled darts that cause flowers to grow out through the bones. Many of the characters are and occasional words are interspersed into the dialogue, resulting in. Many of the characters smoke, following a film noir tradition; the manual asks players to consider that every smoker in the game is dead. The characters in Grim Fandango are based on Mexican figures used to celebrate the.The game is divided into four acts, each taking place on November 2 in four consecutive years. Manuel 'Manny' Calavera is a travel agent at the Department of Death in the city of El Marrow, forced into his job to work off a debt 'to the powers that be'. Manny is frustrated with being assigned clients that must take the four-year journey and is threatened to be fired by his boss, Don Copal, if he does not come up with better clients. Manny steals a client, Mercedes 'Meche' Colomar, from his co-worker Domino Hurley.

The Department computers assign Meche to the four-year journey even though Manny believes she should have a guaranteed spot on the 'Number Nine' luxury express train due to her pureness of heart in her life. After setting Meche on her way, Manny investigates further and finds that Domino and Don have been rigging the system to deny many clients Double N tickets, hoarding them for the boss of the criminal underworld, Hector LeMans. LeMans then sells the tickets at an exorbitant price to those that can afford it. Manny recognizes that he cannot stop Hector at present and instead, with the help of his driver and speed demon Glottis, he tries to find Meche on her journey in the nearby Petrified Forest. During the trip, Manny encounters Salvador 'Sal' Limones, the leader of the small underground organization the Lost Souls Alliance (LSA), who is aware of Hector's plans and recruits Manny to help. Manny arrives at the small port city of Rubacava and finds that he has beaten Meche there, and waits for her to arrive.

The cast of Grim Fandango. In the front-center are Domino, Meche, Manny, and Sal. Glottis is in the upper left and Hector is on the far right. The game's creator, Tim Schafer, is in the bottom-left corner.A year passes, and the city of Rubacava has grown. Manny now runs his own nightclub off a converted automat near the edge of the Forest.

Manny learns from Olivia Ofrenda, the owner of the beatnik Blue Casket nightclub, that Don has been 'sprouted' for letting the scandal be known and that Meche was recently seen with Domino leaving the port.Manny gives chase and a year later tracks them to a coral mining plant on the Edge of the World. Domino has been holding Meche there as a trap to lure Manny. All of Domino's clients who had their tickets stolen are also being held there and used as slave labor, both to make a profit with the coral mining and as a way to keep Hector's scandal quiet. Domino tries to convince Manny to take over his position in the plant seeing as he has no alternative and can spend the rest of eternity with Meche but he refuses. After rescuing Meche, Manny defeats Domino by causing him to fall into a rock crusher. Manny, along with Meche, Glottis and all the souls being held at the plant then escape from the Edge of the World.The three travel for another year until they reach the terminus for the Number Nine train before the Ninth Underworld.

Unfortunately, the Gate Keeper to the Ninth Underworld won't let the souls progress without their tickets, mistakenly believing they have sold them, and it's further revealed that a wicked soul that has either not paid off their debt or tried to cheat the Gate Keeper with a fake or real Double N Ticket to gain entrance to the Ninth Underworld will cause the express train to transform into the hell train (which sends all souls onboard to hell). Meanwhile, Glottis has fallen deathly ill. Manny learns from demons stationed at the terminus that the only way to revive Glottis is to travel at high speeds to restore Glottis' purpose for being summoned.

Manny and the others devise a makeshift fuel source to create a 'rocket' train cart, quickly taking Manny and Meche back to Rubacava and saving Glottis' life. The three return to El Marrow, now found to be fully in Hector's control and renamed as Nuevo Marrow. Manny regroups with Sal and his expanded LSA and with the help of Olivia, who volunteered to join the gang earlier in Rubacava, and is able to learn about Hector's current activities. Further investigation reveals that Hector not only has been hoarding the Number Nine tickets, but has created counterfeit versions that he has sold to others. Manny tries to confront Hector but is lured into another trap by Olivia, who has also captured Sal, and is taken to Hector's greenhouse to be sprouted. Manny is able to defeat Hector after Sal sacrifices himself to prevent Olivia from interfering.

Manny and Meche are able to find the real Double N tickets, including the one that Meche should have received. Manny makes sure the rest of the tickets are given to their rightful owners; in turn, he is granted his own for his good deeds. Together, Manny and Meche board the Number Nine for their happy journey to the Ninth Underworld while Glottis who can't join them waves tearfully goodbye. Development Background and project inception. Was the project lead for Grim Fandango.Grim Fandango 's development was led by project leader, co-designer of and creator of and the more recent. Schafer had conceived a -themed adventure before production of Full Throttle began, and he submitted both concepts to LucasArts for approval at the same time.

Full Throttle was accepted instead because of its greater mainstream appeal; it became a hit and opened the way for Schafer to create Grim Fandango. Noted that the pitching process for Grim Fandango was 'a breeze' because of Schafer's earlier success, despite the new project's unusual theme. Development began soon after the completion of Full Throttle in June 1995. Grim Fandango was an attempt by LucasArts to rejuvenate the graphic adventure genre, in decline by 1998. According to Schafer, the game was developed on a $3 million budget. It was the first LucasArts adventure since not to use the engine, instead using the engine, pioneered by, as the basis of the new GrimE engine. The GrimE engine was built using the scripting language.

This design decision was due to LucasArts programmer Bret Mogilefsky's interest in the language, and is considered one of the first uses of Lua in gaming applications. The game's success led to the language's use in many other games and applications, including.

Manny's office, from original concept art (top) to wireframe mesh (middle) to in-game representation (bottom) 3D design Grim Fandango mixed static background images with 3D characters and objects. Part of this decision was based on how the figures would appear in three dimensions. There were more than 90 sets and 50 characters in the game to be created and rendered; Manny's character alone comprised 250.

The development team found that by utilizing three-dimensional models to pre-render the backgrounds, they could alter the camera shot to achieve more effective or dramatic angles for certain scenes simply by re-rendering the background, instead of having to have an artist redraw the background for a traditional 2D adventure game. Ancora pesticide. The team adapted the engine to allow Manny's head to move separately from his body to make the player aware of important objects nearby.

The 3D engine also aided in the choreography between the spoken dialog and body and arm movements of the characters. Additionally, were incorporated to advance the plot, using the same in-game style for the characters and backgrounds to make them nearly indistinguishable from the actual game. Themes and influences The game combines several beliefs of the with 1930s design motifs and a dark plot reminiscent of the genre. The Aztec motifs of the game were influenced by Schafer's decade-long fascination with, stemming from an anthropology class he took at, and talks with folklorist, with Schafer recognizing that the four-year journey of the soul in the afterlife would set the stage for an adventure game.

Schafer stated that once he had set on the Afterlife setting: 'Then I thought, what role would a person want to play in a Day of the Dead scenario? You'd want to be the grim reaper himself. That's how Manny got his job. Then I imagined him picking up people in the land of the living and bringing them to the land of the dead, like he's really just a glorified limo or taxi driver.

So the idea came of Manny having this really mundane job that looks glamorous because he has the robe and the scythe, but really, he's just punching the clock.' Schafer recounted a Mexican folklore about how the dead were buried with two bags of gold to be used in the afterlife, one on their chest and one hidden in their coffin, such that if the spirits in the afterlife stole the one on the chest, they would still have the hidden bag of gold; this idea of a criminal element in the afterlife led to the idea of a crime-ridden, film noir style to the world, triggered too many ideas that they had to then trim down. The division of the game into four years was a way of breaking the game's overall puzzle into four discrete sections.

Each year was divided into several non-linear branches of puzzles that all had to be solved before the player could progress to the next year. The team created a puzzle design document in the planning of the game, laying out branching non-linear puzzle paths for the player to solve within the context of each year of the game.Schafer opted to give the conversation-heavy game the flavor of film noir set in the 1930s and 1940s, stating that 'there's something that I feel is really honest about the way people talked that's different than modern movies'. He was partially inspired by novels written. Several film noir movies were also inspiration for much of the game's plot and characters. Tim Schafer stated that the true inspiration was drawn from films like, in which a weak and undistinguished insurance salesman finds himself entangled in a murder plot. The design and early plot are fashioned after films such as. Several scenes in Grim Fandango are directly inspired by the genre's films such as, and most notably Casablanca: two characters in the game's second act are directly modeled after the roles played by and in the film.

The main villain, Hector LeMans, was designed to resemble 's character of Signor Ferrari from Casablanca. His voice was also modeled after Greenstreet, complete with his trademark chuckle.Visually, the game drew inspiration from various sources: the skeletal character designs were based largely on the calaca figures used in Mexican Day of the Dead festivities, while the architecture ranged from Art Deco skyscrapers to an Aztec temple. The team turned to LucasArts artist to create the calaca figures. The art of was used as inspiration for the designs of the and the demon characters like Glottis.Originally, Schafer had come up with the name 'Deeds of the Dead' for the game's title, as he had originally planned Manny to be a real estate agent in the Land of the Dead. Other potential titles included 'The Long Siesta' and 'Dirt Nap', before he came up with the title Grim Fandango. Voice cast. (pictured in 2013) provides the voice for MannyThe game featured a large cast for voice acting in the game's dialog and cutscenes, employing many actors to help with the Spanish slang.

Voice actors included as Manny, as Meche, as Glottis, and as Hector. Schafer credits Plana for helping to deepen the character of Manny, as the voice actor was a native Spanish speaker and suggested alternate dialog for the game that was more natural for casual Spanish conversations. Original release Originally, the game was to be shipped in the first half of 1998 but was delayed; as a result, the game was shipped on October 28, 1998, for release on October 30, the Friday before November 2, the actual date of the Day of the Dead celebration. Even with the delay, the team had to drop several of the puzzles and characters from the game, including a climactic five-step puzzle against Hector LeMans at the conclusion of the game; Schafer later noted that they would have needed one to two more years to implement their original designs. Remastered version Acquisition of rights and announcement A remastered release of Grim Fandango was announced in June 2014 during 's press event of the, with a simultaneous release for the, and platforms on January 27, 2015. It was later released for and on May 5, 2015. On November 1, 2018 Grim Fandango was released on the Nintendo Switch.The remastered version was predicated on the transition of LucasArts from a developer and publisher into a licensor and publisher in 2013 shortly after its acquisition.

Under new management, LucasArts licensed several of its (IP), including Grim Fandango, to outside developers. Schafer was able to acquire the rights to the game with financial assistance from Sony, and started the process of building out the remaster within Double Fine Productions. Schafer said that the sale of LucasArts to Disney had reminded them of the past efforts of former LucasArts president Darrell Rodriguez to release the older LucasArts titles as Legacy Properties, such as the 2009 rerelease of. Schafer also noted that they had tried to acquire the property from Lucasarts in the years prior, but the frequent change in management stalled progress.

When they began to inquire about the rights with Disney and LucasArts following its acquisition, they found that Sony, through their vice president of publisher and, was also looking to acquire the rights. Boyes stated that Sony had been interested in working with a wide array of developers for the PlayStation 4, and was also inspired to seek Grim Fandango 's after seeing developers like and revive older properties. Boyes' determination was supported by John Vignocchi, VP of Production for, who also shared memories of the game, and was able to bring in contacts to track down the game's assets. After discovering they were vying for the same property, Schafer and Boyes agreed to work together to acquire the IP and subsequent funding, planning to make the re-release a remastered version.

Sony did not ask for any of IP rights for the game, instead only asking Double Fine to give the PlayStation platforms console exclusivity in exchange for funding support, similar to their Pub Fund scheme they use to support independent developers. Challenges. A comparison of Grim Fandango from its original release (top) and the remastered version. Double Fine increased texture resolution and improved lighting models to improve the looks of the characters.A major complication in remastering the original work was having many of the critical game files go missing or on archaic formats. A large number of backup files were made on (DLT) which Disney/LucasArts had been able to recover for Double Fine, but the company had no drives to read the tapes.

Former LucasArts sound engineer had managed to save a DLT drive and was able to extract all of the game's audio development data from the tapes.Schafer noted at the time of Grim Fandango 's original development, retention of code was not as rigorous as present-day standards, and in some cases, Schafer believes the only copies of some files were unintentionally taken by employees when they had left LucasArts. As such, Schafer and his team have been going back through past employee records to try to trace down any of them and ask for any files they may have saved. In other cases, they have had difficulty in identifying elements on the low-resolution artwork of the original game, such as an emblem on one character's hat, and have had to go looking for original concept art to figure out the design.Once original assets were identified, as to be used to present the 'classic' look of the game in the Remastered edition, Double Fine worked to improve the overall look for modern computers. The textures and lighting models for the characters were improved, in particular for Manny. Schafer has likened the remastering approach to film releases in providing a high-fidelity version of the game without changing the story or the characters.In addition to his own developers, Schafer reached out to players who had created and graphical improvements on the original game, and modifications needed to keep it running in, and gained their help to improve the game's assets for the remastered version. One such feature was a modified control scheme that converted the game's movement controls from the to a -style interface. Schafer said the team used tank controls as it was popular with other games like at the time, but recognized it did not work well within the adventure game genre.

Schafer contacted Tobias Pfaff who created the point-and-click modification to obtain access to his code to incorporate into the remastered version. Later development and new features Double Fine demonstrated an in-progress version of the remastered game at the 2014 event in October 2014; new features included higher-resolution textures and improved resolution for the character models as well as having real-time lighting models, and the ability to switch back and forth between this presentation and the original graphics at the touch of a control. The remastered game runs in 4:3 aspect ratio but has an option to stretch this to a 16:9 ratio rather than render in a native 4:3 ratio. The remaster includes improvements to the control scheme developed by Pfaff's patch and other alternate control schemes in addition to the original tank like controls, including analogue controls for console versions and point-and-click controls for computer versions. The game's soundtrack was fully orchestrated through performances of the (who also performed the soundtrack for Double Fine's ). The remastered version also includes developer commentary, which can be activated via the options menu and listened to at various points in the game.

The PlayStation version also features cloud saving between the PS4 and Vita versions. During the, during a 20th anniversary live-reading event with several Grim Fandango actors, Schafer announced that the remastered version will also be ported to the sometime later that year. The Switch port was released on November 1, 2018. Soundtrack.
