About Project
Residual is a cross-platform 3D game interpreter which allows to play LucasArts' LUA-based 3D adventures: Grim Fandango and Escape from Monkey Island. There is no support for Escape from Monkey Island. Support for this game may be added in the distant future, but this is far from promised.
Current State
Basic gameplay works, including cutscenes, but many features are either missing or unstable. Save/load support is incomplete. Crashes can and will occur. Don't report bugs. Residual is very alpha and we KNOW it doesn't work right.
Grim is now playable (with some glitches) to:
Meche leaves Manny again (Rubacava, Year 2)
For more detailed information on the current status please read the TODO page.
