One thing that has always really stood out to me is that this game was created in the very very early days of 3D rendering. Games in the 90’s were like that, you couldn’t expect to just breeze through a game without hauling out the 100+ page instruction manual or (later on) hitting up GameFaqs for help getting out of a rut. If there are any faults with the gameplay in general(and I would hazzard to say they are minimal) it would be that the pace of the action is pretty slow, and with the lack of in game tips or hints, it can be halting at times. Like most adventure games, you get subtle clues that lead you to untangling puzzles and mysteries that lead you further into the day of the dead inspired world in which Manny exists. You play as the protagonist Manny Calavera, a deceased individual working at an undead travel agency trying to work off his eternal debt to society. Some would say still that it is THE adventure game. The hilarious developer commentary is par for the course with Schafer at the helm. This in and of itself is more than enough reason to purchase the remastered version for those of you who have already played. An amazing new feature is a toggle that enables game creator commentary that trigger snippets when you target or use certain on screen interactibles. So what can you expect from the remastered edition? I can tell you that we are looking at a game that has visually weathered the test of time. ![]() When the elders of the gaming world sit around campfires telling stories, it’s about games like this.
