    Always found it weird how funky ‘n’ jazzy Neon Genesis Evangelion’s theme is, considering how much of an emotional cheese grater that fuckin’ show is. It’d be like, I dunno, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, theme tune by Jamiroquai.

    Well, I’m going to start this off by saying this wasn’t my first playthrough of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. I first played it back in the early 2000s on my oldest cousin’s Dell laptop, so for me, this was a nostalgic experience. Let’s begin. I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream began as a short story written in 1967 by Harlan Ellison and was later adapted into a video game in 1995. I see this game as a haunting and unique experience that blends psychological horror, moral philosophy,…

If the word HATE was engraved on each nano-angstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles, it would not equal ONE ONE-BILLIONTH of the HATEI feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you, HATE.

    If you’ve never played I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, don’t let the age scare you off. This game is older than a lot of Steam users, sure, but it hits harder than half the “cinematic” horror titles coming out today. First off, the writing is unreal. It’s based on the short story by Harlan Ellison, and you can feel it in every line. The dialogue is sharp, cruel, thoughtful, and sometimes downright uncomfortable. AM isn’t just a villain. He’s pure hatred wrapped in circuitry. And somehow…

    Overall its a solid game but, it is literally impossible to beat it with out a guide. It becomes really unplayable because you need to look at a guide for every click you perform and it becomes more of a homework than an actual game that's supposed to be enjoyed. To sum things up, i wouldn't recommend this game for an average (modern) gamer, and its only somewhat fun if you read the novel.

    Yeah, this game is very old, and you can feel that it hasn’t aged that well. However, just hear me out, the story is where it truly shines. I read the book, and this game is much better because it’s voiced by the author himself, has multiple endings, and feels more expanded overall. Peak story with simple gameplay, Overall, Story is the content here for me, XD No bugs and glitches or needed things to patch from online. Its a solid game that still works today. would recommend.
