'''Grim Fandango''' was the first LucasArts adventure game to not use the [[SCUMM]] scripting language.  Instead, it used an engine called GrimE (Grim Engine), which was based upon the [http://www.lua.org/ Lua] open source scripting language.  The game follows Manny Calavara, a grim reaper for the Department of Death in the Land of the Dead.  He learns that the system he works for is corrupt, after a woman who led a great life, Mercades (Meche) Colomar, doesn't get to go straight to the seventh level of the afterlife, the land of eternal rest.  Manny must take a four year journey to find out who's behind the corruption, find Meche, and earn himself a place in the land of eternal rest.

==Compatibility==
==Current status in ScummVM==
As it is a 3D adventure game, Grim Fandango is out of scope for ScummVM. However, it is [http://wiki.residualvm.org/index.php/Grim_Fandango completable] in the sister project of ScummVM, [[ResidualVM]].
The ResidualVM GrimE engine is being merged into ScummVM.
 
In the stable builds of ResidualVM, Grim Fandango was completable and fully playable but there may still be some bugs and glitches.
 
There are also a few things that aren't implemented at all, or doesn't work right yet:
* Aspect ratio in fullscreen mode
* Lighting not working properly
 
ScummVM will however also fix some bugs present in the original game. See [[GrimE/Grim Fandango Original Bugs]] for a list.
