I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream

I played this game and read the related short story. This is a classic style point-and-click adventure, with dialogue puzzles, inventory puzzles, pixel hunting, etc. You take on the role of each of the last 5 humans on Earth after an omnipotent supercomputer destroys all other human life. Each character has their own self-contained scenario. The graphics are older, but pleasant and functional. The music is foreboding and is good at expressing moments of horror and triumph. The story is very immersive, learning bits and pieces of each character's life before the end of the world and also the nature of the supercomputer. There are some very gruesome and violent elements and difficult social subjects. The puzzles are tricky and somewhat unfair, but I was able to figure out solutions for the most part. This is a game where you note a useful object you need, but the game won't let you take it until the character has a motive to. It is good to keep going back to previous screens and trying the same actions after new events, what is available will change. There are also better and worse endings for each of the scenarios, without good clues you were missing something Definitely worth playing, maybe have a walkthrough at hand in case you need it.

I can remember, when I was kid, I always wanted to play this game, just because its name was so exciting... Maybe it was good I didnt, because it could have left some long-term issues... :D but I dont know why I didnt play it later and came back it to just now... and I can say, even with the game being quite old in those days, it is so amazing... the thrilling stories of every character, all the voice-acting and even the graphic, which is old but very nice for its days and last but not least all the hints taken from encyclopedies, Bible and other books... this is pure jewell for every person who loves adventure games, great story and horror atmosphere...

I lve this type classic single player games, no microtransacsions, offline and pure gaming, but due some glitch, i couldn't see the happy ending

I've wanted to play this for a long time,. but right from the beginning, I was disappointed. Sure, there are some interesting elements but the puzzles are illogical, dead-ends multiple and voice acting pretty unimpressive. Not my cup of tea, even though I usually enjoy classics.

Based on a short story by famous sci-fi author Harlan Ellison, the game-based version is greatly expanded and most certainly for the better. Kudos to both CyberDreams and the Dreamers Guild for cobbling together such an impressive feat; considering MS-DOS gaming was pretty much on its last legs by the end of 1995; as most developers were migrating to the rising behemoth which was Windows 95. The story, setting, characters, plot, dialogue- heck, the writing in general is top-notch and remains engaging throughout your playthrough. While no BioForge, the developers were imaginative enough to overcome the limitations of the DOS-based graphics with sheer artistic imagination. The later areas; such as the cyberverse and virtual reality venues- are especially impressive. The same can be said with the voice-acting performance. Even the secondary and tertiary characters deliver their lines with a competent smoothness. Despite all this praise, No Mouth is NOT beginner-friendly... While there is no trace at all of "moon-logic" puzzling (we're looking at you, Discworld), the player still has to be VERY careful with each and every decision their character makes. Telltale has nothing on No Mouth. Saving is your friend. Save fast and save often. Even for veterans who cut their teeth on challenging titles such as "Shadow of the Comet" as well as "The Koshan Conspiracy", there's still going to be a lot of trial-and-error. Be patient, experiment and keep a batch of alt save states.
