Nightdive Studios is bringing the chilling 1996 point-and-click adventure horror game, I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, to consoles for the first time ever on March 27th.  This critically acclaimed adaptation of Harlan Ellison's post-apocalyptic short story will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, offering modern gamers a chance to experience this cult classic of early PC gaming.

Considered a cornerstone of 90s horror adventure games, I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream is praised for its impactful voice acting, diverse characters, and captivating narrative.  Previously exclusive to PC, the game's console release opens the door for a new wave of players to delve into the psychological terrors of this hit point-and-click title.  A newly released trailer offers a glimpse into the horrors awaiting.

The resurgence of classic horror games like Nightdive Studios' successful remaster of The Thing demonstrates a renewed appetite for these experiences.  The recent announcement of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream's console port at the MIX Spring Showcase generated considerable excitement.  The game masterfully blends dystopian sci-fi and psychological horror, featuring five distinct characters with individual storylines, each embarking on a twisted journey through personalized psychodramas.

At the heart of the narrative is AM, a malevolent artificial intelligence who has kept five human survivors alive for 909 years, subjecting them to relentless torture and forcing them to confront their deepest fears.  AM offers a glimmer of hope, promising release from their torment if they can survive one final, harrowing adventure.

Considered among the best sci-fi dystopian video games ever created, I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream launches on consoles March 27th.

Players take control of each of the five main characters, unraveling the secrets of their pasts to understand why AM has chosen to keep them alive in perpetual suffering. The game boasts full voice acting, including Harlan Ellison himself as the voice of the deranged AI, AM.  Retaining the classic point-and-click adventure gameplay, complete with an on-screen inventory and selectable action commands, the console release preserves the retro feel of the original.

For those who can't wait for the console release, I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream is currently available for PC on Steam and GOG.

Nightdive Studios continues its mission of reviving classic horror games for modern audiences, following the successful remaster of The Thing with the upcoming console launch of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream.  Fans of retro horror should keep an eye out for further updates on Nightdive Studios' projects and other exciting remasters and re-releases.
