Worldwide conspiracies, secret cult-like organizations, AI girls that live in eye sockets, Pokémon rip-offs, and the power of dreams: Spike Chunsoft's AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative truly has it all. Oh, it also has serial killings.
The title (and truthfully, the full AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES series, as its predecessor is also deserving of praise) fits in well with classic and modern point-and-click murder mystery games, such as the Ace Attorney series or Spike Chunsoft's other series of the exact same genre, Danganronpa. Having said that, the title stands apart from other point-and-clicks, aside from its own predecessor, for one very important reason: the third-person perspective bits known as Somnium.
Somnium - stick with me now - is the place where dreams collide... by which I mean Somnium is the place where the police take suspects and the like and interrogate them by knocking them out I am not joking — and straight-up invading their minds to search for subconscious clues and evidence. It's a little messed up, to say the least, but forget about that now because YOU are the police, yeah! Basic human rights are fun to violate when it's you doing the violating!
