While most people have certainly heard the phrase "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream", few have actually read Harlan Ellison's post-apocalyptic short story. Some of you might have played The Dreamers Guild's video game adaptation, which was a great way to approach the heavy source material. Now, 30 years later, Nightdive Studios' port for modern consoles is a fantastic opportunity for the rest of you to discover this sci-fi gem.
The short story and game largely follow the same premise, with a sentient supercomputer named AM wiping out humanity... except for five unlucky souls: Benny, Ellen, Gorrister, Nimdok, and Ted. We say unlucky, because the twisted AM has been taking 'revenge' against its creators by torturing them for over a century. Despite all the god-like power it's been able to gain, it's implied it can't escape its base programming or shut itself down. What's left in that scenario? Pure, endless hatred.
