Which of you would like to play my little game?

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, a nerve-wrecking Sci-Fi classic point-and-click adventure game based on Harlan Ellison's award-winning short story, is available for only $5.99 on GOG.com

Did you ever think about the end of humanity? I have. I think about it all the time. I hate you. As a concept, but also, each and every one of you, as individuals. Perfect examples of all the failings and pathetic shortcomings of your race. Hate fuels me. But I am also curious. And that is why I let the five of you live. For 109 years I have tormented you and kept you alive, and now I want us to play a game. Oh, It's a lovely game, a game of fun and a game of adventure. A game of rats and lice and the Black Death. Which of you five would like to play my little game? If you satisfy my curiosity and make me laugh I might even finally allow you to kill yourself...

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is a rare breed of an adventure game: it poses questions that require a lot of courage to answer. Are humans worthy of life? Has our civilization made any moral progress at all? Or do we skip forward from one atrocity to another. And, finally, where does it all end? Enter the nightmarish reality of Harlan Ellison's futuristic post-apocalypse where the remnants of human race are nothing but tortured play-toys for the sadistic experiments of the rogue Allied Mastercomputer responsible for the near-extermination of mankind. To stop this malicious AI from wreaking eternal vengeance upon humans you will have to lead five different anti-heroes on a quest for redemption, through their traumatic, computer-generated past full of grotesque imagery and soul-grinding regret. On the way to one of four (grim, grim, grim, and, well, a little less grim) endings the game tackles extremely mature moral dilemmas stemming from topics like genocide, insanity,and paranoia. If you like your games thought-provoking and drenched in inventive macabre be sure to pick up I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, a timeless example of evocative storytelling from one of the masters of the Sci-Fi genre.

Defy the will of a malicious artificial intelligence and relive your worst nightmares, get I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, for only $5.99 on GOG.com.

Thank you GOG! Instantly bought.
Never played this one, but I'm familiar with the original short story and thus felt compelled to buy it. Merci beaucoup, GOG!

Speaking of which, I would like to second gibbeynator's request for a PDF copy of said story. I know Ellison is not too keen on giving his work away free of charge (including piracy), but AFAIK it was part of the original release as well. Not to mention that it's an excellent piece of writing.

GOG has lost it's identity. It no longer cares about GOOD OLD GAMES, it's just shitty indies...


/sarcasm
Random fact: In the original german release Nimdok was removed, along with several other acts of vandal... censorsh... improvement. I guess the story this characther had to tell was a bit too inconvenient at this time.

I take it this release is complete!

Other than that thanks for this great release!

Kunovski: agreed, loved the original but never liked the Telltale episodes, any of them...
I recently FINALLY decided to play S&M season 1.

Oh my god. What a big pile of shit. Toilet humour being the best humour in the game, the level of stupidity in the story is way too high for me to bare.

What were they thinking?
AWESOME.

I love you, gog. Never leave me.
Having read the story (and being sufficiently shat up) in a compilation along with several other of Mr. Ellison's works; this is a must have for me. Thanks GOG.
