  Grim Fandango - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grim Fandango is a graphical adventure computer game released by LucasArts in 1998, the title derived from a line of a mournful poem read by one of the characters in the game.
Grim Fandango was lauded by critics and adventure game fans as one of the best games in the genre and beyond (see Reactions section), but was not a commercial success.
Grim Fandango was a bold attempt by LucasArts to rejuvenate the graphical adventure genre, which by 1998 was in a terminal decline, compounded by the rise in fashionability of visually more novel and increasingly impressive games, such as first-person shooters.

 Grim Fandango review
Grim Fandango pulls the gamer into one of the most compelling, unusual and creative worlds in gaming.
Grim Fandango follows the exploits of Manny Calavera, who has a highly specialized, though low-tech job in the Land of the Dead.
This was less of a problem in Grim than in EMI or "Odyssey: The Search for Ulysses" (perhaps because most of the barriers in Grim were pretty obvious).

About The Game: Grim Fandango remains as the last non-sequel, non-franchise graphic adventure released by LucasArts to this day.
Although it was a major critical success, winning several awards and high scores across the board, Grim was a financial flop.
Whatever the cause, Grim Fandango unfortunately has the dubious honor of being "the game that scared LucasArts off of the adventure genre" in some circles.

But getting there is half the fun, and you can either go economy or first-class luxury cruise (with exotic ports-of-call along the way for great things like cat racing!), depending on what you have 'earned' in life.
You are one of the combination Grim Reaper and Travel Agents who work for the Department of Death (the DOD) in El Marrow, selling tickets to the afterlife.
But you work on commission, so what you earn depends on how many luxury tickets you can sell and lately you notice that you're not being given any of the 'good' clients.
