    You should add more languages into your game, not much people wants to play visual novels in secondary language

    I'll keep this spoilerless.
    The story and all its twists are genius. I loved the dynamic between Ryuki and Tama. Running gags from the first game are back and as fun as ever.

    Nirvana Initiative is a visual novel with a story that's almost instantly intriguing and with each reveal manages to become even more enthralling, all building up to a plot twist that manages to be both extremely well telegraphed and completely unexpected.

    AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES – Nirvana Initiative is a brilliantly bizarre sequel that attempts to right some wrongs and introduces a handful of great new ideas.
