AI: The Somnium Files Limited Edition - Nintendo Switch

This game is excellent I loved my time playing it. In order to get the true ending of the game you have to play all the routes. It has a great mystery and pretty funny parts too. I never got bored playing this game and I often found myself replaying the somnium parts of the game to find funny choices/dialogues I missed when I first played through it.Now to the physical portion of this review. I got this collectors edition for the soundtrack and artbook but the stickers and stand are good quality. The soundtrack is good but it doesn't have the version of iris song at the end of the game which is a bit unfortunate but other than that I am quite pleased with the selections of songs on the disk. the artbook on the other hand can be obtained digitally in the game and you get more artwork than in the art book but you do get some nice words from the author. If your getting this only for the artbook and you don't care if it's physical or digital then don't buy this because you can easily get the artwork just from playing through the game.

So not much I can say without getting into spoilers, but if you like a dark, but sometimes funny, adventure game, this is a great one. Music and visual design is really neat, I kinda love all the characters. Voice acting is well done and both languages are available. Just a really standout package. If you played 999 or even Phoenix Wright, this is in that vein. As for the package, its neat. Everything is to quality. The only thing I have some qualms with is the actual box for the game itself. IT HAS NO INTERIOR BOX ART! for a game with great art this is a misstep. Otherwise, great game and cool package.

This game is a visual novel similar to that of games of the Phoenix Wright series. The story will keep you on edge and the characters are very lovable. I will definitely recommend this game for anyone who is interested in a story-driven game with beautiful anime-styled art. I will, however, say that the Limited Edition version of this game was a let-down (especially when you compare the price to the Fire Emblem collector's edition).I understand that the art book clearly states 30 pages but it seems wayyyy too overpriced for what I paid for. Inside the special edition are stickers, a figure of A-set (not too impressive imo), a CD of the soundtrack, and the 30 page artbook (not even hard covered) all for $90 + tax. If money is no problem, then I definitely recommend this gem of a game. But if you just want to experience the game, then you really won't be missing much by ignoring this special edition.

The little trinkets in this version are nice for a collection. Now for the story... The story is wonderful and interesting once you get past the obvious perverted main character. It takes a while to get past his perverted antics which almost made me put down the game, with all of his comments towards big chested women and instruments that he compares to his package. He is a very generic male character with nothing special, we have seen it all before many many times and they need a new type of character that isn't repugnant; however, the tales strung together to make the cases and their different conclusions are very memorable and inventive. I enjoy them, and eventually the character become somewhat bearable once the he makes obviously humane choices and has natural reactions to these horrendous cases.

This is definitely a great game to play if you're a fan of the Zero Escape series, the mystery genre, or deep stories in general. The characters have complex motivations and they do not feel too bound by archetypal characteristics. The writing of the game is top notch and provides a lot of food for thought. The serious tone of the game is occasionally broken up by lighthearted moments of humor and perversion. I really appreciate how much thought and ambition went into this project, and hope that other people give this game a shot!

journy through an insane story while trying to solve a crazy murder. dive into the minds to gain answers for your investigation while trying to avoid becoming trapped in the head of the one you are synced to. a visual novel i actually enjoyed, and i dont usually like these type of games. oh, your partner through this epic journey is your artificial intelligence eye ball, who always has a joke to crack in the worst of situations, but usually ends up saving your life!

Fun, if your a player or just collector of Nintendo Switch games

Very cool visual novel detective like game. I got my collectors edition for $60, so I am happy!

Me gusto esta edicion, y el juego entretenido con la historia y los personajes, en espera del segundo de la saga.

Excellent game for those who enjoyed Zero Escape and Danganronpa.Borrows the timeline mechanic and multiple endings mechanic from Zero Escape, displayed on a cork board. The game took me 20 hours, but you can easily go back to certain points and check for dialogue you missed the first time around.The game itself is extremely forgiving during somnium sections, and allows you to pick the silly options you know won’t make progress just to see Date’s and Aiba’s reactions to them. Some of the best moments from the game are from picking them, try Aiba screaming into the speaker in the merry go round themed somnium, for example.Lots of pop culture references like Rocky and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.You either love or hate the over the top adult humour during quick time events (I don’t remember the last time a game made me laugh this hard). It prepares you for how dark the reveal is at the end. Your choices will effect the killer’s actions, making it harder to pinpoint where they are.The artbook shows the same artwork the game does in the album, with a few extra concepts of locations.

Una gran novela visual del creador de Zero Escape, infaltable en la colección de cualquier amante del género, además la edición coleccionista es muy bonita

I am speechless at how amazing this game was. It is the pinnacle of "manga/anime" game with a compelling murder-mystery story with a good share of emotionally heartwarming moments.And I am simply disappointed at how many people don't even know that this game even exists. Please, do give it a try. I want to see more of this genre of game.

Really fun game. If you've played Uchikoshi's other games (like the Zero Escape/Nonary games), you'll know what to expect. It's a similar mix of great writing and characters with a branching path story and puzzle gameplay elements. If you're looking for a heavy action game, you won't find it here. The emphasis is really heavily on the characters and story, and it doesn't disappoint.
