Happily never after.
American McGee's Grimm, colorful and zany action-adventure title that comes in 23 self-contained episodes, half an hour each, and lets you "fix" all the popular fairy tales suffering from severe sweetness overdose, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.99 for the first week.

Once upon a time, far far away, across seven seas and seven mountains something magical happened. It was quite miraculous, but at the same time scary. Bad things happened to some people in the process, and everyone involved got what they deserved, whether it was their lost heritage, revenge, punishment, or an important lesson about how life works. The folk passed the story on by word of mouth and by the time it got here, it was full of unicorns, fairy dust, and cotton candy. Which made it pointless. Now, we can't have that, can we?

American McGee's Grimm is a unique episodic action adventure experience that lets you visit 23 popular fairytales and put them back in their dark, twisted, and meaningful shape, how they always should have been. Each of the episodes has its very own setting, a stand-alone story, mad aesthetics, and that unmistakable American McGee feel to it. You can dive into one fairy tale after another or take them on one at a time for a daily 30-minute trip to absurd, colorful, and scary land of Grimm.

Don't hate fairytales for what they've become. Fix them instead, one at the time, in American McGee's Grimm, for only $7.99 on GOG.com. The 20% off release discount offer lasts until Tuesday, November 26, at 10:59AM GMT.

Theta_Sigma: I'm a bit confused, it says $5.99 here but the page says $7.99 on the store page (regularly $9.99). I think there may be a typo here, but I could be mistaken. :) Either way, the game looks friggin sweet. :D

G-Doc: That's 20% off for the first week, which makes it $7.99. Sorry for the error.
Was going to pick it up, but after that insane sale I've dropped too much cash this weekend to justify another $8. On to the wishlist it goes!

Oh, and Alice would be a must-buy, no matter the price. Just throwing that out there. :)

To watch how well known fairytales turn to nightmares is fun but the gameplay isn't the best. You just walk around and turn the place you walk by into dark places. It's not rich in varity.

I'm still waiting for Alice.

Just noticed this on the game's title card (profile page):

"Grimm is written and executive-produced by the same person as American McGee's Alice."
Why you gotta tease us like that, GOG? Not nice! ;)

mowiegand: I think you guys should concentrate on older games than 2008.
you do know how hard it is for gog do get older games and the effort that goes into getting them to work on new OS? so many ungrateful people.

I'm very excited by this release - I don't think you could ever get this in the UK before now, and I'm a big fan of the American McGee games. Good work GoG.

I'm just curious about the informative value. Is the game about correcting modern versions into grimm "original" versions, or is it about correcting them into mcgee's versions ?

What about American McGee's Bad Day LA?

Which looks schlocky but fun - like the Postal series...

It plays and controls the way it looks.

Damn, GOG is just trying to take all my money these days. I absolutely LOVED Deponia 1 & 2! They are as close to a Lucasarts adventure game as you can get without actually being a Lucasarts adventure game. Great humor, beautiful graphics, great puzzles etc. Definitely a no brainer if you love adventure games. I already own 1 & 2 on Steam but I would love to have them on GOG. Getting both for free with the purchase of the 3rd is just too good of a deal for me to pass up. Another $20 down the GOG drain.

Yeah, looks like I got my tabs mixed up. That's what happens when I dont have my coffee.

What about Alice ? We getting that too ?
Posted November 19, 2013
Yeah, for some reason my mind at first filled in Alice after American McGee's :(

Not to say this is a bad release, I just thought for a second it was something very big
