Exploring the Forgotten Demo of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream

Here's an interesting piece of junk! I always found this demo of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream to be a neat lil relic, and I've never seen anyone else document it. So, here we are now. Enjoy!
And in case anyone was wondering, no, there's nothing of interest hidden away on this disc. The demo is completely self contained.
Enjoy whatcha see? Then why knot come check me out live on Twitch! I stream every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6 p.m. EST:

Calling all IHNMAIMS fans! If you enjoyed this video, then my interview with the producer of this wonderful game, David Mullich, will be right up your alley! Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWKsqKuIjsuNb7M

21:15 Yeah I always thought it was weird that the sarcophagus was an elevator with the guy inside - it being a mummy makes much more sense in the theme

[@StarlightPumpkins]

I also don't like his character design in retail. He looks kinda goofy with his stance, bright red eyes, and raincoat lookin' outfit.

[@Akuma_Langdon]

@@StarlightPumpkins totally agree the mummy is better than in final product

[@Skythikon]

Disagree, I love the weirdness. I thought that dreamlike leap of logic played beautifully into the game's Freudian theme.

[@Kamelot19]

i would miss her life history being told with the floor buttons

[@lttgames4456]

no i thought the elevator made sense. and drove the point home more for me

[@whitejacket9725]

13:32 I actually kind of wish they went with this larger Surgot, I think it's more fitting the theme and the size of the circle

[@cassidyszewczyk5029]

This is definitely an interesting find. I'm pretty sure the non-interactive part of this demo was used as the trailer at some point (if this isn't the trailer that they just happened to put on the demo). Even the Cyberdreams logo is a different one from the finished product. The game itself doesn't look too different from a quick skimthrough, but I would probably find some odd differences if I play close enough attention. I do like how the instructions are in the psych profile book -- it's a nice touch. Thank you for finding us No Mouth fans something new to look at.

[@StarlightPumpkins]

You're quite welcome! I'm glad I could provide the community with something new to look at!

[@helo3325]

poor ellen :((

[@StarlightPumpkins]

Thankfully she can fight back in the retail release!

[@whitejacket9725]

You are awesome bro, so pumped I can actually watch this stuff

[@StarlightPumpkins]

Thank you! I'm glad I could be of service!

@@StarlightPumpkins is there a discord or something for the speed running of/interest in general for IHNM?

[@StarlightPumpkins]

There sure is! You can find a link to it somewhere on the SRC board for IHNMAIMS.

10:26 is it just me or does this sound like the voice actress stumbled over her words a little? Weird that they still used this take...

[@StarlightPumpkins]

Now that you mention it, yes. She really over pronounced the f in full.

[@nedboi3545]

Oh my goodity goodness how did you get this? Stuff like this is almost lost media

[@StarlightPumpkins]

I was able to find it on some abandonware website.
