Once upon a time, fairy tales were valuable cautionary yarns filled with dire warnings and sage advice. However, over time, the stories have become so watered down with cute woodland creatures and happy endings that they have lost their true meaning and purpose. No more! This is American McGee's Grimm, and Happily Ever After ends now! The Pied Piper's seductive melodies free the kingdom of its rat infestation, but when an ungrateful king refuses to pay for his services, the Piper takes revenge by leading the kingdom's children into a river with the same melodies. It is a dark tale that only gets darker when Grimm gets involved.
