User Reviews for I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream

Good port

Fun old school game with an intriguing story and atmosphere. Some challenging puzzles with an in game hint system (seems like you’re mildly penalized for using it). Biggest issue I’ve found is some game breaking bugs in 1 of the scenarios (I think you can actually start over by drinking some punch but still could use a fix.) also make sure to keep multiple saves and save when your character isn’t doing anything to minimize risk of a bad save. Overall, very recommended retro adventure, just with caveats

I love it

We need more retro games like this!

Very Disappointing Conversion

As an older gamer, I was beyond excited to find this release on iPad. Unfortunately, after my initial excitement, I found it to be a buggy mess. The touch controls do not work well and led to multiple game breaking glitches that lost me about an hours worth of progress. The Give function also does not work with the touch controls and the classic controls cursor sensitivity is busted. How controls for a Point and Click adventure game can be this broken is beyond belief. The graphic and sound conversion seems faithful and well done, but until the controls are fixed this game is a waste of your time and money. I like DotEmu and own a few of their retro conversions, but they won't get another dime from me until this game is fixed.

Wonderful Port and Game

I was scared to purchase this, truthfully— I hate buying things on the App Store and the reviews about interface problems + loading issues made me incredibly hesitant, but IHNMaIMS is one of my favorite short stories of all time. I wanted badly to play the game, but don’t own a PC.I finally purchased this app and could not be more happy with it! Everything is ported wonderfully over to iOS, gameplay remains intact, and the overall story of the game itself is wonderful! Couldn’t be happier with it. So glad to see this underrated game get such a good transfer to iOS!

Completely Unplayable

The game, as it stands now, is completely unplayable and according to several online forums, this is a common problem. The loading of the game is incredibly slow and the "MojoTouch" screen freezes for about a minute before advancing, very roughly, to the next screen. When the game finally loads, the audio and video are so completely out of sync that the game is unplayable. Even simple actions, like tapping on a character or selecting an action, takes close to a minute to execute in the game, not to mention that the animations run so slowly and so roughly that it is hard to grasp what is even happening in the story. I will gladly update my review once the problem is fixed, but as it stands now, the game is unplayable for myself and many others. Either a fix needs to be released or refunds issued for this inoperable app.

Caveat emptor

I originally posted about this game being riddled with bugs and dead-ends, but after taking to the Sierra Online mantra of saving often, it remedied many of the original issues I had uncovered. The game itself has been remastered in a way that looks good and plays decently for a touch device. However, I did have an issue where switching to only subtitles stuck and would not allow me turn back on voices (it required a complete uninstall to remedy, which was greatly frustrating). Other than this, I change my original suggestion of using the GOG version to instead play this game like the old adventure games where you have >at least< 2 different save slots in use (I ran into an issue where I had a saved stuck character, which was quite useless). Regardless of bugs, I am glad this game was ported and available for iOS as it brings an intriguing adventure game to the platform.

Good game, poor translation to iOS.

The game itself is smart, thought-provoking, mature, and challenging but not intractable. 4.5 stars.The translation to iOS, however, is quite poor. First of all, the controls are confusing. More than halfway through the game, I am still not sure how to go through doors (do I “use” them? “Walk to” them? “Push” them? Some combination of those?) Second, there are bugs that, though rarely encountered, can render the game unplayable. To cite just one example, I once lost almost a third of my progress because my player simply disappeared from the playing field when I loaded my saved-progress file.

Can’t save or load without the game crashing

Very disappointed

An Overlooked Classic Ported to iOS

A wonderfully made game made from one of the most horrific stories ever to embrace the world of literature. Harlan Ellison’s “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream” puts players in the shoes of five different people stuck within the depths of the Earth, tortured by the AI, AM (Allied Mastercomputer.) Each character’s scenario explores their past along with their flaws. The puzzles are difficult (as per any other standard 90s point and click game) and the game explores many themes including grief, psychology, anxiety, eternal damnation, and many others. The game includes new graphics options that removes the jagged edges from the pixelated sprites, includes a tap control mode along with a classic cursor mode, and two soundtracks that feature the original midi-based ost, along with the remastered ost (missing a couple of tracks.) The game runs wonderfully on my phone, though the controls are a bit tedious as first. The “positive” theme is also missing from the remastered ost for some odd reason. Otherwise, it’s a great game and I definitely suggest buying it, whether it be on iOS or on your PC.

Based on a short story of the same title by Harlan Ellison, one of the most-acclaimed American science-fiction writers, I Have no Mouth, And I Must Scream immerses the player in a frightening post-apocalyptic atmosphere 109 years after a supercomputer named AM has wiped out humanity. Created during the War, AM hates all humans and has decided to make the last five survivors pay for what they’ve done.
