Grim Fandango combines a unique story line and complicated puzzles to create an adventure different from any you have experienced before.

Follow Manny through four years of mystery on his quest for true love and eternal salvation. The game opens to find Manny in search of the perfect client, one with the means to place them both on the fast track out of purgatory and into eternal paradise. Enter Mercedes Colomar, the client who has it all--beauty, brains, and enough money to buy them each tickets on the exclusive No. 9 train.

Following the film-noir formula, Mercedes promptly vanishes, leaving Manny to solve the mystery behind her disappearance and her connection with the Department of Death.

Grim Fandango Remastered is available to pre-order today for PS4, Vita, PC, Mac, and Linux.

The game will be listed on PlayStation Network as a Cross-Buy title for $14.99 and sports a new PS4 dynamic theme as a pre-order bonus. PC, Mac, and Linux pre-orders are also available at GOG.com where the game will be sold DRM-free for $14.99 with exclusive wallpapers for those who purchase before launch.

With fantastic graphics--stylishly rendered in the film-noir style--and art from the Mayan, Aztec, and Mexican traditions, Grim Fandango is imaginative and appealing. The challenging puzzles call for attentive play and serious exploration of the Land of the Dead--not an unappealing job when surrounded by such beautiful animation.

Include the original story line and humorous characters and you won't want to stop playing...
