Recently I got the chance to speak with American McGee, who not only helped create the classics Doom, Doom 2, Quake, and Quake 2 as well as the macabre Alice and the pending Grimm. I want to thank America for taking the time to answer our questions as well as Wendy for making it happen. The game is due to ship on July 31st on Gametap.com
AM: The backgrounds and settings in Grimm vary from episode to episode. Each new episode is based on a different fairy tale – presented by the main character “Grimm”. In every episode he presents a puppet theater of the current-day “light” version of the tale. He then invites you to help him return the tale to a form closer to the original – darker, meaner, and more informative. When finished he presents the “fixed” version in another puppet theater.
