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.
The first Volume of American McGee’s Grimm will consist of eight standalone episodes, which will be released weekly as follows:
- July 31 A Boy Learns What Fear Is (currently free to play!)
- August 7 Little Red Riding Hood (free to play for the first 24 hours after launch)
- August 14 The Fisherman and His Wife
- August 21 Puss In Boots
- August 28 The Girl Without Hands
- September 4 Godfather Death
- September 11 The Devil and His Three Golden Hairs
- September 18 Beauty and the Beast
