Mechanics

Gameplay in AI: The Somnium Files is about paying attention to dialogues, observing locations and analyzing hidden clues. The game has a plethora of colorful characters, who very often hide the truth from us for various reasons. Instead of the left eye, our protagonist has an implant with a special processor, endowed with artificial intelligence. Thanks to it, the detective has the ability to "enter" the memories of the interrogated and get information straight from their heads.

Game modes

AI: The Somnium Files has a single-player mode only.

Technical aspects

AI: The Somnium Files has three-dimensional graphics styled to resemble two-dimensional drawings. The designs of the characters, done by Yusuke Kozaki (Fire Emblem Awakening, No More Heroes), and locations were prepared in the manga style, characteristic for many Asian productions.
