As the new bartender at DEAD-END, you’ll make new friends, mix weird drinks, all while navigating Life, Death and everything in between.
Grimm & Tonic is an exploration in interactive fiction. A way of exploring the trials and ennui that comes with being an adult. Identifying the running themes of a less than ideal humdrum, life and how we can sometimes lose sight of what's important. It's a story about how we handle our professional lives, how we unwind and how we define ourselves. The story investigates themes such as 'Wishing vs. Desire vs. Action', 'Locus of Control' and 'Coping Mechanisms' against an urban fantasy backdrop. 'Magic' is used as a stand-in for technology.
