    A trigger warning in game form - without any trigger warnings. Had a lot of potential, but unfortunately misses the mark.

    A masterpiece in every sense of the word, beautiful graphics, a delightful piano soundtrack, and brilliant writing.

    A masterpiece in every sense of the word, beautiful graphics, a delightful piano soundtrack, and brilliant writing.

    The fact the Western branch decided to completely ignore this in exchange for promoting the dreadful Net Idol Torture Porn game called "AI: The Somnium Files" is proof that their marketing team is incompetent in every possible way.

    This game is amazing with like only one flaw. The visuals, the atmosphere, the gameplay mechanics they're all so wonderful! This game has someThis game is amazing with like only one flaw. The visuals, the atmosphere, the gameplay mechanics they're all so wonderful! This game has some really dark themes from suicide to miscarriage, if you explore everything in the game you will come across all sorts of dark themes. When I mentioned gameplay mechanics I was talking about the memories you get from defeating each enemy and learning their life before they died. Gameplay itself is nothing special. It's decent enough and while i found it fun, the gameplay not being anything deep might not be everyone's cup of tea. It can also get sort of repetitive but for story reasons. Now the story, wow this story is such a rich and well written story. The story is very original, it's not generic or anything. Just when you think you've figured out the story it just pulls you back in and sends you off into another direction. It's one of my favorite videogame stories I've ever had the privilege to play through. This is why I give this game a 10. Gameplay might not be anything special but the story is fantastic that it makes up for its few flaws. I highly recommend this wonderful game! Plus there's a dog in the game you can pet, easily a 10/10. Full Review »
