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.

Awesome. Amazing release!
Too bad I Have no Money and I Must Wishlist it.
LOL. Yep.

Sam and Max is the only one out of that list I wouldn't be interested in -- just not a big Sam and Max fan.
So, is this the only release today? Or do we get some more modern game later today as well?

(just evening the scales a bit... :))
Yay! Thank you GOG! Insta-buy.
Hopefully this meants Night Dive and going to go into the "business" of digging up rights to old games more thoroughly now.

Have you tried the original? the Telltale games aren't a good representation of the original.

agreed, loved the original but never liked the Telltale episodes, any of them...
low rated
Wow, garbage time again. This game was bad with many illogical puzzles than.
And now 18 years later it only shows that old doesn't mean good.

Hey Lugum, :)

No, I haven't played the original. So it may then be something I like? As, yep, I've played two of the Telltale games and I didn't like either of them (Telltale is a developer that, in my opinion at least, is highly over-rated as I haven't enjoyed any game I've played of theirs so I tend to avoid them now).

Thanks for the tip. If it's ever released here I'll probably try it then as I like the characters just not the gameplay of Telltale.

LOL, yep, that's why it ended up on so many Best of.....lists, including Top 15 Best Endings Ever -- because it really was garbage :)

No accounting for taste.

Hey Bloodygoodgames :)

It's definitely something you would like. I think its pretty much the same style and humor as Days of the Tentacle.
In case of doubt you could always watch (not too much though as it might spoil the game) a lets play movie on youtube if it is to your likeing.

Lets hope Night Dive can get it. I will guarantee you love it. ;)
