Death is not the end in episode 11 of the Past Play Gaming Podcast.
Grim Fandango, a classic adventure game from genre stalwarts LucasArts, came our way in 1998 but still has much to offer today. It tells a tale as old as time; Boy meets girl, boy is a grim reaper, girl runs away, boy follows girl on a four year journey to reach the afterlife after the afterlife.
Topics include: Puzzles, puzzles, puzzles!, freestyle poetry, and the dangers of big business.
