Grim Fandango is a 1998 adventure game developed and published by LucasArts, directed by Tim Schafer. It is set in the Land of the Dead, a retro-futuristic version of the 1950s, where recently departed souls travel before reaching their final destination. The story follows Manuel "Manny" Calavera, a travel agent who guides souls on their journey. The game combines elements of the Aztec afterlife with film noir style, drawing influences from films like The Maltese Falcon, On the Waterfront, and Casablanca. Grim Fandango was the first LucasArts adventure game to use 3D computer graphics overlaid on pre-rendered static backgrounds.
The game was remastred in January 2015 by Schafer's new developer Double Fine Productions making it playable on modern platforms.
