GOG.com has rolled out
I Have No
Mouth And I Must Scream as the second if its promised giveaways for the
GOG Winter Sale. Originally released in 1995, this point-and-click adventure is
based on a short story by Harlan Ellison, and the late sci-fi author was
integral to the game's design. This older game is presented as part of a
collaboration with The Video Game History Foundation. The site offers an
Interview with Video Game History Foundation founder Frank Cifaldi as well
as a
TVGHF Support Pack
where all proceeds will go to supporting the non-profit organization. While
you're there, a
bunch
of new games have been added to the sale. Here's more on today's
giveaway:
The last people on Earth are buried deep within the center of
the earth, trapped in the bowels of an insane computer for the past hundred and
nine years. Gorrister the suicidal loner. Benny the mutilated brute. Ellen the
hysterical phobic. Nimdok the secretive sadist. Ted the cynical paranoid. It's
time for them to play a little game...
I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream plunges you into a harrowing adventure deep
within the belly of an electronic beast. Uncover the last humans' deepest,
darkest secrets. Defend yourself against AM's continuous psychological
onslaught. Solve the riddles of the past and perhaps free yourself from AM's
clutches once and for all in an adventure you'll never forget!
