It could be nothing, but even if it is something, who's to say it’ll be that much better? That’s the answer that Grim Fandango thrives in. Death is just like life, another chapter, and it doesn’t matter how that looks. Crooks are hijacking tickets, selling counterfeits, and corrupting cities, while we’re off sailing the world with fishermen, running casinos, and palling about with demons.
The very opening sees a salesman trying to peddle a decent travel package for the afterlife, like death is now a commodity. It takes death and looks at it as though it’s something nonchalant and every day, as bland as setting your alarm or going to Tescos for a cheddar cheese sandwich. Grim Fandango was like being given a pole to stick into the dirt for leverage. I wish that were true, but I’m trying to grow content with the idea of blissful emptiness, even if it’s an uphill battle on a snowy day with lubed-up rubber boots on. It’s a universal fear-it’s why so many are hell-bent on being ‘good’, trying to avoid the burning pits of hell or clinging to the hope that they’ll be rewarded for living a just life. Sony has since posted a support thread on the official.
It’s a world that I got lost in without ever feeling glum about that fear of potential nothingness. A few reports have started to appear online from users who've pre-ordered and pre-loaded Grim Fandango Remastered on their PS4 consoles. Its afterlife is vague enough that anyone can dig into it and find something to relate to-there’s grim reaper imagery but also similarities to Dante’s Inferno with the circles of Hell, but rather than raging fires and torture chambers, it’s a Tim Burton-esque world of skeletons not too dissimilar to our own. Grim Fandango isn’t rooted in any one religious context. But Grim Fandango was a breath of fresh air, pushing through the stigma and taboo of talking about death to deliver something more comedic, bringing life’s monotony beyond the veil. The number of nights I’ve fallen into existential dread about what comes after is muddying into the triple digits, which isn’t helped by the fact that so many of our favourite games and shows tackle death with such finality. Rich, poor, Knack fan, good taste-at some point, everyone kicks the bucket, and that’s grim.
