I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream is a point-and-click adventure game based upon Harlan Ellison's short story of the same title. The game's story is set in a world where an evil computer named AM has destroyed all of humanity except for five people, whom he has been keeping alive and torturing for the past 109 years. Each survivor has a fatal flaw in their character, and in an attempt to crush their spirits, AM has constructed a metaphorical adventure for each that preys upon their weaknesses. To succeed in the game, the player must make choices to prove that humans are better than machines, because they have the ability to redeem themselves. Woven into the fabric of the story are ethical dilemmas dealing with issues such as insanity, rape, paranoia and genocide.

My copy has a hardlock bug in Ellen's section, not sure if this is common but trying to troubleshoot I found a lot of people experiencing similar bugs in other places. Probably better to just watch a playthrough of this game or read the book anyway.

this game is a genuine work of art and genuienly super unique- the ending made me rethink my whole life for a few days

read the story, it’s super short but leaves you with a lot to think about

o jogo seria melhor se pudesse fazer sexo com o AM

this is a really good game, especially for the time, and it really did try but failed a couple times with the storytelling. also, the vibe isn't fully there, missing that aspect the original book had. that might be attributed to the fact that all of them are separated instead of together, and also the fact that Ted has essentially no backstory, and Benny's was scrapped and made from scratch and we barely get to see it either. Ellen's was walking in the right direction but stumbled. Gorrister has a whole ass thread that seemed to have been dropped. but honestly, Nimdok's was basically perfect. The two paths, and a really deep look into his BGs and the real repercussions of his actions were really well laid out. i wish we could get something that mixed this game and all the missing stuff from the book, but alas. is pretty good tho.
