Here we go with my second game I finished this year, and it's also one that I was really looking forward to! I mean, it's a Spike Chunksoft game, so the chances that I will love it are really high!
Set in the futuristic landscape of Tokyo, AI: The Somnium Files is a captivating visual novel adventure released in 2019. Developed and directed by Kotaro Uchikoshi, this Spike Chunsoft creation introduces players to Detective Kaname Date, investigating a series of mysterious serial killings.
The game's unique narrative structure allows players to shape the story through branching routes and choices, keeping them engaged in the gripping plot. The game features a detective agency, ABIS, utilizing Psyncing to explore the subconscious memories of subjects.
The gameplay seamlessly blends first-person investigation in Tokyo with third-person exploration in dream worlds known as "Somnia." The protagonist, Date, is accompanied by the artificial intelligence Aiba, adding an intriguing dynamic to the gameplay.
AI: The Somnium Files received acclaim for its compelling story, art direction, and characters. Despite some criticisms of its tone and puzzle mechanics, the game's positive reception led to the release of a sequel, AI: The Somnium Files – Nirvana Initiative, in 2022.
Whether you're a fan of visual novels or adventure games, AI: The Somnium Files promises an immersive experience with its unique gameplay mechanics and a narrative that unfolds based on your choices.
