As a man who lives with one foot firmly in the past, little excites me more than an old game suddenly getting some out-of-the-blue new update. Obsidian suddenly returning to Pillars of Eternity 1 earlier this year? Pretty much the best thing that's ever happened to me. And now Nightdive has sprung up to slap a "definitive" update on ancient adventure game I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream. This is a year of three Christmases for ol' Josh.
A point-and-click adventure based on Harlan Ellison's novel about a group of humans subjected to eternal torment by a misanthropic AI, voiced in the game by Ellison himself, I Have No Mouth has become a bit of a cult classic since its release in 1995. This is Nightdive's first patch for it since 2018, and the patch notes are actually pretty few. That doesn't mean they're not significant, though.
