Inspired by of the book of the same name (the author even helped direct the game), I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream is both one of the best and one of the most disturbing point-and-click adventure games ever made.

Your playable characters are the last five humans on the earth, the rest of humanity being wiped out by the monstrous and sadistic reality warping artificial intelligence AM. After 109 years AM is no longer content with just torturing his toys, he decides to play a "game" with the last of humanity. Each human you play as is thrown into a horrible world tailored towards their fears and insecurities, such as Ellen, a young woman who fears the color yellow after being raped in a yellow elevator, being thrown into an Egyptian tomb and Nimdok, a former Nazi wracked with guilt over his crimes, being thrown into a concentration camp. Much like Undertale and Cave Story the game puts an emphasis on choosing between right and wrong, naturally the only hope in beating AM and restoring humanity lies in being kind and fighting injustice.

At the games beginning (and between each level) you find yourself in front of AM's monolithic form and you pick the character you want to control first (or next). The music here is almost unbearably tense and practically drips insanity and malevolence.
