Grim Fandango Design Document

Tim Schafer, the genius behind Psychonauts (on of my top ten games of all time) and the upcoming Brütal Legend, has released the design document for another one of his great games, Grim Fandango.

The Grim Fandango design document has been released in honor of its 10-year anniversary. The game was one of the first 3D games worth playing, and one of the last true adventure games.

Most game design docs are locked behind evil contracts, so not only is it a treat to get this inside glimpse of what game designers actually produce, but this happens to be one from one of the great game designers of all time. If you have any interest at all in learning about game design, there are much worse places to start.
