This week on Retro Halloweekend we're highlighting the PC adventure game, I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. The evil supercomputer, AM, has destroyed all of humanity except a few who it has tortured for the past 109 years. Will the humans be able to fight back against AM, or will their spirits break from being trapped in an inescapable hell.
The title was based on the short story of the same name and so we decided to write a little story of our own.
Of the many horror sub-genres, psychological horror is known for leaving a lasting impression because it plays on the fragility of the human mind.
Absolute embarrassment that all 4 of the first Silent Hill games didn't make the list. 2 is the best one but the other 3 are fantastic as well.
They also included 2 Bloober games and forgot Fatal Frame and PT. 🙄
PT isn't a game. As for the Silent Hill games, clearly they chose the best one for their list. I don't disagree that there are some questionable choices there though.
PT is a game and a better one than most of the games on that list. Just because they gave it away for free doesn't mean it isn't a game.
@Magog - it was a playable teaser. The entire thing could be beaten in like 5 minutes if you knew what to do. That's not a game. Yes, it was fantastic, but it was a glorified demo.
Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3 are all at the top of psychological horror games. I really want a new Silent Hill in the style of the old games, not like P.T.

It's time to get weird. We've rounded up some of the most bizarre DOS games out there.
Point-and-click adventure games were a staple of the early-to-mid 90s PC gaming scene, with some of the more memorable ones being in the horror genre.
Very nice write up. It gets inside of the story well enough that I thought at first it might be plagiarized.
