I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream

This is really a gem as far as adult or weird point-and-click adventures go. The graphics or puzzles weren't groundbreaking for its time but its subject matter makes up for all that. This game brilliantly expands on the original short story with the direct involvement of the author to create something truly unique. A great must-have for adventure enthusiasts (or the Germans amongst us who didn't get to play it properly first time around).

похоже я буду первым кто упомянет бубса

After playing abit too much adventure games you start to expect warious "combine dog with a coffee pot" puzzles and plots existing just to make some reason for you to move between the screens. Not in this one. The story is a dark, sci-fi nightmare for pretty much everyone in it. Mad supercomputer made to wage war against humanity, the machine is trapped in it's original purpose. Unable to break free from it's own curse, it constructs personal hell for five last humans on Earth. In order to beat this mad god, you have to face your fears and show it, that unlike a machine, you can overcome and atone the evils in your past. Or not. What makes this game special is an interesting form of non-linearity. It's short, but gives you just enough variation to keep you interested if you decide to replay it and try something new. For a 1995 game the controls are fine and most of the bugs i've seen were with the animations, but no game breaking ones. Puzzles are mostly logical and theres a pretty helpful tool available for all characters to guide them with riddles. The atmosphere, visuals and dialogues bring a truly unique experience.

I would have gave it 5 stars but this one is censored. Besides that, it's a very interesting game.

This game has some flaws, largely with occasional odd logic and not cluing you in to what needs to be done. Though I say this as someone who has never been especially great at point and click adventures. So I had a guide up ready to help out when i got especially stuck. And honestly that is the only glaring weak point in the game as i remember it having just finished it earlier today. Everything except those 'stuck' moments was smooth and compelling. Even little things like characters being able to quickly move from one end of an area to the other, while not looking like they were being fast-forwarded. That alone helped keep me immersed, while also not being tedious every time i realized i had to backtrack a bit. Of course the story is the strongest point of this game. I stayed up all night playing it because every time i got to play as a new character I NEEDED to know how their story played out, as well as the part it played in the story as a whole.
