Nightdive Studios announced the definitive update for I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream has now landed on PC with Linux support. This brings over a bunch of enhancements done for the console release, making it better for everyone.

More about it: "Based on the post-apocalyptic short story by renowned author Harlan Ellison, I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream plunges players deep within the center of the earth, where they play as each of the five survivors who have been trapped in the bowels of the insane AI AM for the past 109 years. Fueled by his intense hatred for the human race, AM has spent the past century torturing and toying with each character as he sees fit, culminating in a final game: an appropriately meta adventure-style quest for each of them, teasing the prospect of freedom if they succeed."

The definitive update adds:

  • Added modern menu options, allowing players to customize their experience as they prefer (screen size adjustments, background image selection, visual filters, aim sensitivity).
  • Added in-game bonus content, including a fully localized manual and jukebox with the complete I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream soundtrack.
  • Improved controller support, added pre-set shortcuts for smoother and more intuitive gameplay
  • Added an achievement system to encourage exploration and extend replayability.
  • Added cloud saves, game progress is now stored and linked to the player’s account, allowing the game to continue being played across different devices.

I sure like it when I dont have to buy the game again everytime theres a quality of life update or version.

I do consider them at steep discoubts but it gets worse the more tines I own a duplicate copy.
System Shock 2 I own twice GoG and Steam so not really willing rebuy the remaster for instance.

Glad they fixed up this one and brought it back in time for spook season.
