Residual is a reimplementation of the part of the software used to interpret the scripting languages by conducting reverse engineering on the original game.
It is considered a sister project to ScummVM, the 2D adventure game interpreter. Residual's aim is to reimplement the residual (remaining) adventure games. The original LUA-based engine was called GrimE (as opposed to SCUMM), so Residual's title is also a word pun as grime is a type of residue.
