American McGee's Grimm is an upcoming 24-part episodic game series based upon Grimm's Fairy Tales, developed by Spicy Horse and to be distributed online by GameTap starting July 31, 2008. Grimm will resemble the warped fairy-tale style of American McGee's Alice, and will be written and executive-produced by the same person, R. J. Berg. The original announcement was made in the June 2007 issue of PC Gamer.[1] In a recent interview with GameSpot, American said that he would like to put this game on Xbox Live and may release it in retail form. In the game you'll help a person named Grimm return the darkness to fairy tales.
Spicy Horse Games is using Unreal Engine 3 technology for American McGee's Grimm.[2]
