To truly understand AM’s hatred, you have to break down his character, his circumstances and his fate. To say AM hates is to underestimate bu how much. The game itself revolves around each character confronting their pasts as part of a sick game AM plays for his own entertainment. These are Nimrod, Ted, Gorrister, Benny and Ellen, who have been trapped for 109 years under AM’s control and tortured in a thousand different ways. Harlan had never been asked the question before and thus, decided to focus the game around the concept, as well as expanding on the various characters from their fairly two-dimensional personalities in the original short story.ĪM hates humanity, having formed from three supercomputers developed to run a global nuclear war and merging together to form a conscious mind, AM killed everyone on the surface, save for five individuals. This plays an important part in the game ahead.ĪM is really the highlight of the game, starting us off with a fairly well-known speech about how much he hates humanity and the crux of the game’s story came from someone asking Ellison why AM hates the five humans left alive specifically. AM’s name comes from Cogito Ergo Sum, I think therefore I AM, signifying his ability to think for himself, or so he proclaims. Ellison himself had a hand in developing the game and story, as well as providing the voice for the main antagonist, AM or Allied Mastercomputer. For those of you who don’t know, the game is based on a short story of the same name by Harlan Ellison, released nearly thirty years prior in 1967.
