GameTap is launching
American McGee's Grimm today with the launch of A Boy Learns What Fear Is, the first episode in the fairy tale-inspired adventure game series. The episode will be free to download for the first 24 hours, supported by "minimal up-front advertising" (
story). Here's word on the series:
The newest GameTap Original title, American McGee’s Grimm, consists of 24 individual standalone game episodes, each of which is based on a classic fairy tale such as Little Red Riding Hood or Beauty and the Beast.
The game’s main character, Grimm, is a crude dwarf who believes that the lessons offered in the original tellings of famous fairy tales have been lost over time as the stories have been watered down with talking woodland creatures and Happily Ever After endings for all of the characters – whether they deserve it or not. As Grimm, players transform these toothless interpretations of the tales into dark and twisted versions of the story.
