AI: The Somnium Files{{efn|Known in Japan as {{nihongo|AI: Somnium File|AI:ソムニウム ファイル|Ai: Somuniumu Fairu}}}} ({{IPAc-en|aɪ|audio=En-us-eye.ogg}} {{respell|EYE}}) is an adventure video game in development by Spike Chunsoft, planned for release on July 25, 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. It is set in Tokyo, and follows detective Kaname Date, who investigates serial killings and enters witnesses' and suspects' memories to extract information. The game is directed and written by Kotaro Uchikoshi, designed by Akira Okada, and produced by Yasuhiro Iizuka, and features character designs by Yūsuke Kozaki and music by Keisuke Ito.

Overview

AI: The Somnium Files is an adventure game set in a technologically advanced Tokyo in the near future, and follows detective Kaname Date, who investigates a serial killing case where victims have had their left eyes gouged out. Date has an artificial left eye containing an artificial intelligence unit, which he uses when investigating the killings.[1][1][2]

The game is split into two types of sections: investigation parts and somnium parts. During the investigation parts, Date uses his artificial eye's functions, such as X-ray vision and zooming, to further the investigation. During the somnium parts, Date can enter the memories of suspects or key witnesses who do not want to share information with him, in the form of dreamscapes called "somnium", to extract the information by solving puzzles.[3][1][2] The game additionally contains several optional side quests.[3] The story progresses through branching paths leading to multiple different endings, based on choices the player makes.[1][3] Rather than starting over from the beginning several times to see different paths, the player can skip directly to the branching points.[3]

Among other characters appearing in the game is the YouTuber Iris Sagan, a high school student who makes Let's Play videos and videos of herself singing and dancing under the name A-set.[1][2][13]

}}AI: The Somnium Files is developed by Spike Chunsoft,[14] and is written and directed by Kotaro Uchikoshi, produced by Yasuhiro Iizuka and designed by Akira Okada, with character designs by Yūsuke Kozaki and music by Keisuke Ito.[15][4][5][6] Kozaki was approached by Uchikoshi for his role as character designer due to being an internationally known artist, and how Uchikoshi wanted the art to have a worldwide appeal.[3] The game is developed with a higher budget than that of Uchikoshi's previous work, the Zero Escape series, which according to Uchikoshi helped allow him to express his concept for the game in a way that he was unable to with Zero Escape.[7] Comparing AI: The Somnium Files with Zero Escape, Uchikoshi described AI: The Somnium Files as being made more with adventure game fans in mind, in contrast to Zero Escape{{'s}} heavy use of cutscenes.[15]

Two of the game's core themes are eyes and "different types and expressions of love", reflected in how the title, AI, is pronounced like the word "eye", and in how {{nihongo|"ai"|愛}} is the Japanese word for love;[2][8] the title also has additional meanings in that it is pronounced like the English word "I" and is short for "artificial intelligence".[2][3] The "Somnium" in the subtitle is taken from the Latin word for "dream".[2]

The idea of entering characters' dreams to solve cases was proposed by Iizuka; Uchikoshi thought it was intriguing, so he decided to use it in the game.[5] The game's investigation-based puzzles are designed to be less difficult than those in the Zero Escape series,[5] and are described by Uchikoshi as a modern take on the style of Hideo Kojima's 1994 adventure game Policenauts.[7] Other influences on the game included EVE (1995) and The Silver Case (1999); Okada additionally mentioned Life Is Strange (2015), Become Human (2018), Heavy Rain (2010) and The Walking Dead (2012–2019) as games that had influenced him when making the game.[9]

The game was first teased at a Game Developers Conference 2017 press event under the working title Project Psync,[10] with a piece of artwork depicting an eye.[1] Spike Chunsoft announced the game and its title the following year during an Anime Expo 2018 panel, and released a first teaser trailer introducing Date.[2][11] In January 2019, Spike Chunsoft started promoting the game with videos and a Twitter account for the character Iris.[12]

The game is planned to be released worldwide on July 25, 2019 for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4, with both English and Japanese audio. In addition to the standard edition, a "Special Agent Edition" will be available, which includes an artbook, the game's soundtrack, an Iris acrylic stand, a set of stickers, and a game box.[13]
