OUT NOW ON SWITCH, PS4, AND STEAM

AI: The Somnium Files is the newest game by Kotaro Uchikoshi (and his team). Uchikoshi is the author of 999 and Virtue's Last Reward! and zero time dilemma but life is simply unfair. If you've never played any of those games, they're a blend of visual novel/adventure/puzzle games. AI is a standalone game, so you don't need to have played any of his other games.

But if you have, you know what you're in for. Quirky writing, murder mysteries, plot twists, science :words:, flowcharts and puzzles. Unlike the Zero Escape trilogy, the puzzles in this one aren't really escape rooms with disconnected puzzles giving you the key out, but rather give you a variety of ways to interact with objects with a limited amount of time, and figuring out solutions through context clues and just winging it. It works.

Story

quote:

One rainy night in November, a woman's body is found at an abandoned theme park, mounted on a merry-go-round horse. She had been stabbed repeatedly, and her left eye was gouged out.

Kaname Date of the Metropolitan Police Department arrives on the scene. He recognizes the woman. Suddenly, a crash rings out through the rain...

AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES chronicles an investigation through both dreams and reality. A thrilling neo-noir detective adventure following Date and his partner is about to unfold.

Goon Opinions

Me: It's really good and engaging, 7 hours in.

I think this is his most cohesive story since 999.

I don't care if you're a star, the moon, or the whole damn sky, you need to come back down to earth and remember where you came from
This game's out already?

Guess I know what I'm doing today.
