I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream

Not through it yet. Fun to play. Love the story. Worth it for all the hot Harlan Ellison action.

I owned this game, and I remember that I barely played beyond Gorrister and the lady. I remember a rumor that this is a huge game. Looking forward to trying to solve Gorrister's case.

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.
