Can you identify any of the screenshots in this article?
http://www.bigfishgames.com/blog/series-spotlight-grim-tales/

I was checking online for a list of the games in the Grim Tales series (and their dates if possible) and found the above article, which was written 3 years ago, apparently around the time Grim Tales: Stone Queen came out.

I can't identify where any of the screenshots used in the article are from, though some look familiar. I'm almost certain that most of them are not from the Grim Tales series.

I wish my memory was better. For all I know, they could be mostly from the Grim Tales series. Nice to see a picture of the developers.

Maybe someone else will be able to identify what games are represented.

This one actually reminds me more of the early Dark Parables games because of the colors
http://blog-assets.bigfishgames.com/uploads/2013/01/back1.jpg

This one, with the snow, makes me think of either Dire Grove or Fierce Tales: The Dog's Heart

This one definitely came from one of the Grim Tales games because the sign says "Gray's Castle" (and it's also the only picture I recognize as being from Grim Tales -- I believe from the very first Grim Tales game I played, which may have been "The Bride")

If you hover your mouse over the screenshots in the article, you may get a box saying "Grim Tales Pool" or "Grim Tales Path" or whatever (except for the last screenshot where the box says "Surface 2 Concept"). But I wonder if some of the locations didn't end up being used in other game series.

Yes, the screenshot with Gray's Castle has to be Grim Tales. I agree that the snow shot does look like it could be Dire Grove or Fierce Tales.

It would be nice to know for sure.

The fire ring outlined with stones is the cave in the Legacy and the parked car is from that game as well. I recognize several of the others but darned if I can recollect the games.

The big ugly heads in the foreground with the gazebo/folly on the little island in the background are the Stone Queen, I'm pretty sure.

Considering this seems to be the same gazebo, you may be right.

I've checked out my hunches (having played most of the series) to come up with the following after searching BigFish walkthroughs:

The snow picture - Grim Tales: The Wishes (Chapter 4 - Siberia)

The car picture - Grim Tales: The Legacy (Chapter 1 - Gray's Castle)

I have a sneaking suspicion pictures 1 and 2 are from Grim Tales: The Stone Queen. When I can be certain, I will let you know.

The last pic is definitely from Surface 2: The Noise She Couldn't Make, although I don't know which chapter. wave


The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.
