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: th-cam.com/video/G1IwxRYfZ9Q/w-d-xo.html
It felt more disturbing without the sound as you didn't know how horrifying the sound would be! Thank freaking God the baby doesn't make any noise and didn't do any bloodcurdling scream that I expected to have! Although the music and eating sound effects is still creepy as hell!
Im pretty sure the whole thing was on purpose, AM wantwd them to get tired and desperste for food, he wsnted benny to go feral, he probably made those cans unopenable. He didnt think it would retort back on him.
You know, I was wondering why Benny said “Jesus, I’m hungry” when he looked at the empty baby cradle, or why AM said he sent Benny to the jungle to “indulge his hunger”. Well, now we know why. Good ol Harlan Ellison being told to dial it down, yet again 😂
Fun fact: Ellison only wrote about 20% of the dialog for IHNMAIMS! And it was David Mullich who was told to tone it down by the general manager of Cyberdreams.
@@StarlightPumpkins That is very interesting information. Despite being toned down there are still a ton of moments that were downright disturbing or unsettling. One can only imagine what an unhinged version of this story could have been like.
@@StarlightPumpkins Ellen especially could have used that compelling scenarios. Her only real struggle was overcoming her past trauma instead of making some kind of life or death choice.
@@Burning-Twilight Here’s an idea for Ellen having a “good” and “bad” choice: what if AM made it look like she was at her old job with all her old co-workers, and she could have had the option to either head into the elevator herself…or let one of her oblivious co-workers get in the elevator, first 👀
Never played the game nor read the novel but is the baby just an android? That would explain why it didn't make any noise that a real human baby would do when being eaten alive!
I feel like AM forcing benny into something like this isnt all that bad. Its not like this is an actual baby or anything. It comes down to a perspective thing, eat this bundle of data that is being presented as a cruel joke on your "animalistic" instinct or suffer even more for no other reason than "not giving in". Even in the end when Ted releases the others from their suffering it is only a victory for him because of his view on the situation
@accelerationquanta5816 Well, for absolute starters cannibalism tends to result in bad diseases that pretty much literally rot your mind. That's pretty much every single force involved in the evolutionary process telling you "No you crazy fucker, that's a bad thing!"
its not an actual baby? how do you know? he has access to human dna. he HAS physically devolved benny. his control over the physical world is absolute, and while i’m sure some of this is illusory we have no reason to believe that all of it is. these babies may very well be real, and they may only exist for AM to watch benny eat them.
TFW the point and click adventure game ACTUALLY let's you do what you want instead of stopping you, regrettably, this time you wanted to do something you shouldn't have done.
"Hey mom I really want to get this game it's like got a really engaging story I could probably write a report on it or something for school" "Okay well why don't you show me what it looks like?" *Video* "...........We're going to find you a therapist."
Funny; I actually decided to do a school project on IHNMAIMS way back in the day. The teacher certainly thought I was deranged when I explained the story to him...
I'm on it! I tried to coordinate a search for this with the LMW way back in summer 2022, but it didn't get anywhere in the end. I have no idea how I missed this video for an entire year!
Holy shit! I was active in searching for the pre-release build with the Lost Media Wiki several years ago, but my search never got anywhere. What an amazing find/restoration - I hope we can still find the other missing scenes someday!
@@EmperorOfTheScrubs Arguably the situation is even more gruesome than that. AM probably didn't even "flavor" that sim baby, he only manufactured an environment where Benny would eat it without a second though.
The music that plays has the same type of aesthetic as the demo loop song, which is known to be a song made during the beta before the OST's style was changed completely iirc, quite a shame because I find the beta style way more chilling.
Not exactly sure where to ask this question - but I remember coming across a webpage a long long time ago that was like a text walkthrough of the game with some screenshots for good measure. I recall it being well written, but I've never been able to find it since then. If anyone knows of any websites that are like that, let me know. I'd love to read through the guide again.
@@StarlightPumpkins Oh man. I don't think this is the same one I remember, but this is probably the closest I'll get. I recall the one I read having a bit more author commentary. Thank you so much!
While I'm glad a bit of lost media was found, this scene is kind of contradicting. Benny literally can't eat. If eating a prehistoric peach makes his jaw muscles bleed, how would eating a baby be different. That and it's overall subject matter I can see why this was cut
It's because the baby's flesh would be extremely delicate and easy to rip off the body... Man, sometimes you just kinda type something and go "Wow, I wish I didn't have to type that", ya know
@StarlightPumpkins Right Perhaps he could've made like animals in the simulation That way he could work his way up to eating a person, forcing both him and the player to really think about the decision Realistically that would've added like another year of not only designing and animating, but coding
@@StarlightPumpkins No issue, I appreciate you getting back to me. Also, is the content accessible in the digital versions like I can get on GOG, or solely the disc?
How the fuck is Benny still in the green after that bro. Like, if the game ends early when you ask if you could eat the mother, then its shouldve ended the moment you input "swallow the craddle", no?
It's amalgamated together using lost files that are put back together. The game mechanics probably aren't at play here. It they are, then there's probably no set path in the file that says to affect the spiritual barometer one way or the other for doing something that isn't registered in there. That said... I assume this would've been an auto-loss... Maybe?
@@SuperKamiGuru-i3c i assume so. However, AM would let it play out before extracting Benny, and then perhaps say something like "you did it Benny! >:D"
^ What he said. However, if this remained an option in the final product, it may not have been a game over. You can choose to do a variety of immoral actions in the scenarios for Gorrister, Ted, and Nimdok without failing the chapter.
Regarding Gorrister's scenario, there is an unused line of dialog in reference to the corpses that used to be strung up on the meat hooks. As for the beagle cutaway and other unused background art, I'm unable to find them; I presume that stuff was cut much earlier in development.
@@Levinewak meh, doesn't look like it and I've got experience. It's like a firearms expert saying a movie gun scene doesn't really portray reality well
In what world is comparing firearm knowledge with eating babies a reasonable comparison? Also he literally did eat the baby. They’re playing horror strings while he does it, and flesh squelching noises. There isn’t even a subtext here dude. He straight up ate it.
The cutaway and all associated voice lines are still present (unused) on the retail disc. Once I found the main course, I started going through all the audio files for Benny's scenario until I found what you hear now.
I was unable to find any other unused cutaways on the retail disc. I am working on tracking down a beta build of the game, however. In the meanwhile, I will upload more cut content from this version when I get the chance.
So tell me, what'd you do here? Is Benny's dialogue there lost files, or constructed from other dialogue in it? Cause it sounds a bit odd. Also the eating sound, is that a lost file? I assume AM's is. Second, is this a constructed video, or did you actually reinsert this into the game itself? If so, do you have any plans to make it affect the spiritual barometer, and releasing it as a mod?
@@StarlightPumpkins Thanks for the clarification. I'd look into seeing if it's possible to mod this back into the game if I were you. While I have you though, what's the context of the puppy thing that got cut out? Or is that even known? I know it's Gorrister, but I can't really tell looking at the sequence what is happening there.
From my understanding, the beagle existed solely to tug on the player's heartstrings by making them view the dog up close, and excited to see somebody, before electrocuting it. In the final product, there's still a dog visible if you look into the cages. However, it's only shown as a small shadow. I'm presuming this was censored for the same reason as the content in this video, to satisfy the retailers.

Poor soul... had a mouth but couldn't scream
@accelerationquanta5816what the fuck
@accelerationquanta5816women do it all the time!
Exactly if the baby didn’t want to get eaten then it should’ve made a noise to indicate as much.
This is actually the baby’s fault.
One of many classic gamer moments
Perhaps the pinnacle of gamer moments, even.
Disgraceful deranged funny comment
He can’t open a can without a can opener but he can eat an infant?
To be fair tin is really hard to bite through. Baby flesh though..🤌💋

Im pretty sure the whole thing was on purpose, AM wantwd them to get tired and desperste for food, he wsnted benny to go feral, he probably made those cans unopenable. He didnt think it would retort back on him.
Have you tried opening a can without a can-opener? Your comment made no sense.
I can't believe he didn't atleast kill it first, he just went straight to munching
Benny must believe adrenaline makes the meat taste better!
Fresh oats.
Well you know when you’re starving you’re gonna go with natural instincts
@@LevinewakEspecially when you're literally reduced to a Neanderthal
Considering that Benny is fueled by horrible, neverending starvation and can't even eat a fruit without coughing blood, I'm not really surprised
The baby clearly had no mouth when it should have screamed
Just the shadow animated was a lot hard to digest, if we add the scream, it would have been catastrophic.
@@ilraptor9134it probably had no mouth since the name is i have no mouth and i must scream probably being a refrence to the name.
@@Okarun8787 It could be, yes. But yeah, my point was mostly because maybe it got censored.

So, he can't eat a piece of fruit, yet he can eat an android baby?
Right?
Yup! AM wants a good show, after all. He wants Benny to indulge in his bestial desires, not in fruit picking.
Wouldn't put it past AM tbh...
Never played the game nor read the novel but is the baby just an android? That would explain why it didn't make any noise that a real human baby would do when being eaten alive!

Thank God this was cut
Sorry I find it funny that his picture dosnt get darker after he eats the baby 😭😂
Well, he certainly didn't need much convincing!
Nope!
There are two secrets Benny has. This is the one he doesn't mind people knowing.
Be gay eat babies or whatever the saying is /j
I feel like AM forcing benny into something like this isnt all that bad. Its not like this is an actual baby or anything. It comes down to a perspective thing, eat this bundle of data that is being presented as a cruel joke on your "animalistic" instinct or suffer even more for no other reason than "not giving in".

A.M: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, BENNY?

bro was hungry
Truly a masterpiece of great work!! Harlan Ellison, a true genius!!✨✨✨
So if AM can make babies, why does he even torture humans in the first place?
Why can't he just make humans in his image?
Because the "humans" AM makes are artificial. Any reaction they give to their suffering would be because AM programed them to respond that way.
@@StarlightPumpkins so does that mean AM programmed that baby to be tasty?
@@EmperorOfTheScrubs I would say so
@@EmperorOfTheScrubs Arguably the situation is even more gruesome than that.
AM probably didn't even "flavor" that sim baby, he only manufactured an environment where Benny would eat it without a second though.

I'm surprised that there is no mod to restore the cut content. You'd think that someone would've done it by now, especially with the age of the game.
Sadly, I don't believe there are any mod tools available that can be utilized for this game.
@@StarlightPumpkinshow the heck was this found, maybe there's more in the game files or something
@@Sadeness99 I found it via debugging. As for more cut content, I was unable to find much more.
