Cyberpunk 2077: 8 Cyberpunk Games You Must Play Before Release

8. I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream (1995)

Written by Harlan Ellison and first published in 1967, the original short story is a masterpiece of science fiction storytelling. If you can get past the dated graphics and point and click adventure style, the award winning game is as well.

Like its short story counterpart, it tells the story of a massive super computer aptly named AM (I think therefore I am) and the five humans it's kept alive for 109 years as playthings - or more often, as torture subjects. AM, created when three world powers super computers merged into one, is so advanced it can keep its victims alive indefinitely, modify the world around them, and even alter their physical appearances.

Each one of the five characters has their own adventure and story related to their flaws and past mistakes that AM loves to prey upon, and because of this, each character must overcome AM's trials before completing their respective arc.

Within this game are adult themes that deal with such things as genocide, mental illness, and rape. Expect a gut wrenching story that, for a game released over 20 years ago still hits surprisingly hard.
