HOOOOO GOD I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS GAME 5 STARS. I can still acknowledge that its narrative can require you to get cool with a lot of things real fast, and some of the pseudoscientific explanations might not jive with everyone, but in terms of atmosphere, this thing is MASTERFUL. Unfortunately I can't rank it 5 stars because of Moma Kumakura. I can tolerate every bit of anime bullshit but him, he just creeps me out.
this is actually peak
This game is pretty good! I really liked some of the charcters and puzzles given to you. There is also unexpected plot twists that make it pretty confusing at times. Other wise pretty good game!
My absolute favorite visual novel at the time of playing through. I actually find the characters likeable or at least interesting across the board, the story is quite well written and not too crazy like some other visual novels and I really liked the interaction between Date and Aiba. Good twists that don't seem completely pulled out of your ass, really interesting worlds to enter and great voice acting.
AI: The Somnium Files can’t seem to decide if it wants to be a riveting psychological crime thriller or a lowbrow farcical action-comedy, and the end result is tonal whiplash more intense than Borderlands 2. On paper, the surreal dream-logic puzzles are a neat idea but in practice it’s an exercise in trial-and-error, and the solution you stumble into determines the course of the plot; lucky me, I seem to have landed on the least fun route on my first go. An object lesson in the value of first impressions. I’ll probably get back to it one day, but maybe this isn’t for me.
I am very attracted to kaname date
If you say this game is bad you are very silly and you probably eat kiwis with the skin.
"your past actions don't define yourself, the most important thing to do is be the one who can help when people need you the most... also, tits, tits, tits, sex, tits"
I want to stuff Kaname Date inside the pear wiggler strapped to a high speed train derailing 150mph into the Pacific Ocean.
Kaname Date is a rabid dog and should be beaten to death with a stick
gosto do universo, bons design de personagens roupa do date muito pica, cena musical no final sensacional e boa historia de detetive estive na ponta da cadeira
AI also had storylines that I will forever think about and effect how I view myself and what I want from life while being the horniest game I've ever played. Wish some of the gameplay sections weren't so annoying and made me just want to google a guide though
i will properly review this once i've actually played it all the way through but but christ the steam page wasn't kidding about barely being playable on steam deck. runs fine overall but the control scheme is horrific lol. will pick this back up when im on pc again!
ok ignoring the really weird glitches and lag problems on the switch version...
I absolutely adored this game and fell hard for the character writing in this game. The journey was worth every penny and I was constantly at the edge of my seat once it got rolling. It never lost my attention after that and I thoroughly enjoyed it front to back.

The final plot twist of this game is probably one of the best experiences I've had in any piece of media. This game is not one for everyone, but those who like these types of games will really, really like it. Technically, it's not perfect. There's definitely improvements to be made UI wise and even gameplay wise. I liked it a lot regardless, as the main story and plot twists are just above anything else I've seen in gaming.
It's worth mentioning that one of the most brilliant things about this game is the way they use the medium of gaming to tell their story. This game has a lot of routes, and you need to finish all of them to be able to go for the true ending, which normally would definitely be a hassle but the flowchart mechanic let's you go to any point of the story as long as you've gone through it at least once. The value of these branching paths is pretty huge to me, because it's something that you can only see in videogames. You cannot replicate AI: The Somnium Files in a book, or in a movie. And while yes, this game didn't invent the concept of multiple routes, it's the one that better utilizes them to explain its narrative, it makes the moment where everything clicks a lot more special.

Kaname Date is my babygirl. I would also jump at the first chance to beat the horny out of him.
Storytelling method was way more interesting than it had any right to be given how goofy the story and characters were.
tava gostando mas deu uns bug no switch não consigo usar o mapa direito e nossa que preguiça de jogar VN desde o começo..... vai ficar pra outro momento
veeery captivating, loved seeing Uchikoshi come back, but perhaps in true Uchikoshi fashion, he did lose me a little at the end that didn't feel totally satisfying. BUT, still enjoyed the game and the characters
I love Date.
Fun game but pales in comparison to zero escape for me, sorry
the best game tjat was ever made ever
unique way to approach multiple paths/endings, great visual design
i want to harm kaname date with rocks
kaname date the only horny character i can tolerate in all of fiction
This game is seriously very cool and worth playing !
Simple one of the best visual novels ever made, only behind the creator Uchikoshi's previous creation the Nonary games. So much love charm and passion is so obviously poured into this game that nearly every character, scene, twist, joke, hell even line cannot help but make me smile. While it is a little silly the puzzle parts of the game essentially boil down to random guessing since you can never tell exactly how each of the prompts will work out, its never frustrating since you always get to see something amusing and its very easy to blast through again to where you are and the right answer. Humongous recommendation and once again only made better by playing the nonary games first.

I love this game so damn much it's unhealthy. Maybe I'll review it proper someday, but even upon replaying it, it still hits all the right notes for me.
Look, I don't cry a lot. It takes a lot for me to cry ever. But goddamn, this was the first and only game to ever make me cry tears of joy.

Amazing mystery game
