I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream

AM, a master computer that has trapped the last five humans, forces each survivor into a personal scenario shaped by their fears and past. You take the role of Gorrister, Benny, Ellen, Nimdok, and Ted in turn.

Explore each setting, inspect and use objects, talk with characters, and solve puzzles to make progress. The adventure centers on uncovering what each survivor has experienced and responding to difficult situations.

Choices and actions affect how the character scenarios unfold, with different outcomes and endings available. The five stories connect in a final challenge against AM.

In this review sample, players often praise the story, character scenarios, and its psychological and moral themes, with some finding the experience thought-provoking or memorable. Harlan Ellison’s performance as AM and the game’s dark atmosphere also draw repeated appreciation. Many reviewers, however, say the puzzles are cryptic and progression can depend on obscure actions or exact sequences, so they often recommend a walkthrough.
