American McGee is a strange cat. Skyrocketing to fame more than a decade ago with American McGee’s Alice, the work that followed it has been less than stellar. Scrapland was recieved well critically but failed to perform at retail, and Bad Day LA is widely considered one of the worst games of 2006.
Going back to the well that made his name, McGee chose to revisit some classic children’s literature and put his own dark spin on it. The victim this time around? 24 classic fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm. Released as weekly episodic content, every week promises to deliver a fresh take on an old favorite. The first of these, A Boy Learns What Fear Is, is out now and available for free. So how does it play?
