Great Dark and Timeless Classic

First played this game when it originally came out and it has stood the test of time. A unique story with a great mix of story telling and puzzle solving. A must play for any point and click fan it has a view bugs here and there but nothing game breaking.

Brilliant philosophical game

I played this many years ago and finished it. Based on a short novel. It really makes you think in a philosophical way. Very good game. Yes it's old but it's very worth your time imho. Not a long game, but not too short.

A compelling and scary vision

If you look past all the quirks of the 90's point and click, there is one of the darkest stories ever told by humankind. AM is real. AM is here, inside every one of us. I have no mouth, and I must scream.

Sometimes Obtuse, but Overall Great

This Point-and-Click Adventure has you guiding 5 different characters through their respective stories. They're all looking to overcome something horrific from their pasts, whether they be quests for redemption or coming face to face with traumatic events in their lives. They're pretty diverse, too, with a wide variety of personalities and themes; Ellen was my favorite. There's a lot of trial and error, and there are a lot of opportunities to royally screw yourself over, but having 5 self-contained scenarios means that repeat attempts will be mercifully short. This is also the era inn which the genre had a lot of this sort of thing, so it's a bit more forgivable, but they had the good sense to give you a subtle visual indicator when you did something right, and with that, you can at least attempt to figure out what you're supposed to do. Of course, there are some times when it's still really unclear what you're supposed to do. Generally speaking, you're supposed to make the moral choices, but one of the characters is a Nazi doctor from World War II; how do you even come to grips with the idea of trying to earn redemption from something like that!? The scenario was pretty unintuitive, and even counter-intuitive at times. Ultimately, the game's horrific theme and chilling atmosphere more than make up for its flaws. It may not be the best in the genre, but it takes a wild left turn that makes it a very worthwhile experience. They even got Harlan Ellison, the author of the short story upon which it was based to voice the main villain, which was a nice touch.
