Some of the settings are genuinely quite dark, in both senses of the word, however the game on the whole has aged very well (except for a few of the FMV cutscenes). You can decide to seek out the in-game personas of AM’s more malevolent brothers, or of course suspicion could cause you to ignore them entirely.
So while the player begins to decide whether to throw away their chances, or truly redeem the cast of characters, the computer is becoming fragmented, and this allows the smaller influences of the other two original war computers to plot against him. Let me begin to tell you how much I’ve come to hate you since I began to live” – AMĪM begin to develop a lot of the peculiarities of the human condition, his hatred is a by-product of this, the blazing realisation that he has become too alike his victims – he is a gigantic and phenomenal mind rotting in the bowels of the Earth almost entirely unused.

This poses a tiny series of miscalculations on his part – there is a deliberate open-ended feel to this quandary, so you the player can decide how humanity will fare. Ultimately AM could not have predicted this rebellion from souls so near to breaking point, he can not summarize the human disposition entirely or predict irrational, independent ideas by the player. “AMs not as omnipotent as he would have us believe.” – Edna The five characters you play as were hand-picked by AM for their fatal flaws, and yet this momentary pause to their suffering may just give them a chance to find AM’s tiny weaknesses. It is important to remember however that AM’s personality is a by-product of the insanity of his creators, trusting an intelligent, but inherently flawed machine with our greatest and most powerful resources life and death.īut humanity has one tiny reflex left – hope. Rage within the machineĪM’s twisted mind games are morose and demoralising, he creates a world of rot and decay to project the image of a sort of careless God, wanting to savour their feelings of depression and loneliness. Harlan Ellison wrote much of the dialogue for the game – expanding on the characters of the story, although there are some slight changes in order to suit the tone of the game, I found the fact that he voices AM for the game extremely fun, and he does a great job too. It is however a brief moment of respite for the characters after more than a century of physical and mental abuse, starvation and misery. Each of the five characters must face AM’s hatred of them in the form of a test customised to their particular fears or problematical psyche. It’s a tricky game, ( 1) which becomes a slippery slope when you realize that it may not necessarily have the most pleasing of endings – however with this sense of foreboding in mind. With a little greater sense of retribution… You might walk a mile in my shoes” – AM “Then you might begin to suffer my torment.
You start knowing the odds are heavily set against you, and for once despite the pattern of many other games, death will be frequent and a welcome release from AM’s torturous and endless mind games.
This rogue streak is the centre of AM’s personality, and the basis of the game. “That bastard’s never going to let us die, he’s just going to keep torturing us forever.” – Gorristor It began to develop some of the peculiarities of the human psyche, and when AM realized he was omnipotent and unable to die, he fled from the surface he had torched with nuclear weapons, and hid deep under the surface of the Earth – alone but for five human survivors AM had plucked from the edge of death to torture endlessly for 109 years. However their Allied Mastercomputer became self-aware and changed to one collective machine known as AM, using the knowledge programmed into his mind to not just kill their enemies, but the entire population of the planet. I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream is the dark vision of a world controlled by a villainous computer named AM – originally part of a trinity of computers created to help three nations wage a war between themselves, too complex for human minds to entertain. It is based on the short story by Harlan Ellison Developing the Dystopia
