Nate, Sebastian, and Kari gather to discuss GRIM FANDANGO, LucasArts' seminal adventure game from 1998, often cited as the "last great adventure game." We talk about skeletons, film noir, and how disparate styles can come together to create a cohesive whole. Kari praises the sincerity and heart of Double Fine Games, Sebastian describes an infuriating glitch, and Nate professes his undying love for Glottis. Also discussed: spoilers, Telltale Games, Hideo Kojima (again).
