I finished the last hour after giving up the last time, cuz I previously gave up right before the end during the fifth drawn out bad ending that sucks. Pretty bad
I want to give it a higher rating because the gameplay is fun and I LOVE the concept.
But what in the heck was half of the dialogue????

more games should end with the ensemble cast doing a dance number and singing i think
This game is SO FUNNY my tummy hurt from laugh
After suffering through all of Danganronpa and being disappointed by modern Ace Attorney, AI: The Somnium Files is a welcome refresher. Detective VNs could learn a lot from this game's approach to dialogue and presentation. Playing was really a very pleasant experience, with no frustrating gameplay moments and no glaring writing issues other than some backloaded filler. The vibes were immaculate, and the cringeworthy JP media tendencies were at a minimum.
If you're a fan of the genre, it's worth a play for sure.

AI The Somnium Files, is a game I've owned since 2020 and the fact that I only played it for the first time about a month ago is an actual tragedy. A game that manages to balance comedy, and tragedy in such a perfect way, and manages to still make you care about even the weirdest characters. It's a masterclass in storytelling and narrative intrigue.
I really enjoyed this. I can definitely tell it's by the writer of Zero Escape (even having only played one of them), though I do think this game suffers a bit from not explaining some of the underlying mechanics behind the story. It was enjoyable despite this, though, and I am eager to try out the sequel.
Raro, muy raro, mejor que danganronpa eso sí
