The title, which attracted some attention because it is by Kotaro Uchikoshi (director of the games in the Zero Escape franchise), tells the story of Kaname Date, a detective handling the case of a serial killer. To do so, he investigates crime scenes and the dreams of people involved. There are several routes to discover depending on the player's choice, and the story can only be fully understood after all of them have been explored.
AI: The Somnium Files will be released for Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
