But his name isn't just up there to sell copies. The game is inspired by the short story of the same title, written by legendary sci-fi author Harlan Ellison 29 years earlier. So it's going to be a lot like a ZX Spectrum game then I guess. IHNMAIMS is a graphic adventure challenging the player with "profound ethical dilemmas dealing with emotionally charged issues including the horrors of insanity, selfishness, rape, racism, paranoia, genocide, and the dark rivers of human emotion that surge beneath the civilized surface of us all." The intention was to create a game that players could not possibly win, to preserve the story's nightmarish mood. Plus someone requested that I play the game, so I might as well give it a look. It's the kind of name that lodges in your brain and demands curiosity. I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, now there's a proper sci-fi story title right there.
