Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross analyze I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.

An evil AI named AM has destroyed the world, but he saved five people... in order to torture them for an eternity. Why did he pick these five people? This strange adventure game answers that question through symbolism, ironic punishment, and aberrant psychology.
