Grim Fandango is a dark comedy neo-noir adventure game released by LucasArts in 1998 for Windows, with Tim Schafer as the game's project leader. It is the first adventure game by LucasArts to use 3D computer graphics overlaid on pre-rendered, static backgrounds. As with other LucasArts adventure games, the player must converse with other characters and examine, collect, and use objects correctly to solve puzzles in order to progress.
Grim Fandango 's world combines elements of the Aztec belief of afterlife with style aspects of film noir, including The Maltese Falcon, On the Waterfront and Casablanca, to create the Land of the Dead, through which recently departed souls, represented in the game as calaca-like figures, must travel before they reach their final destination, the Ninth Underworld. The story follows travel agent Manuel "Manny" Calavera as he attempts to save Mercedes "Meche" Colomar, a newly arrived but virtuous soul, during her long journey.

Super Beard Bros.[]
Alex introduces Jirard to a new adventure game he's never played, Grim Fandango. The Beard Bros. are playing the new remastered version on their PS4.
The series took a long hiatus after the first nine episodes were uploaded, in order to make room for Super Meat Boy. The series later returned around the same time as Saw did. 16 episodes in, though, it was put on hold once again to make room for Kaizo Mario 3. Alex announced that the rest of the game would be finished in stream format, with the streams being uploaded to the Super Beard Bros channel at some point. The stream did take place, but Jirard and Alex were unable to release any videos of the stream thanks to an error with the VODs.
