Here’s a rundown on the game, plus the new trailer:

The player takes on the role of Kaname Date, the protagonist, and once again teams up with the AI-Ball, Aiba, to tackle a mysterious case and rescue Iris, an internet idol who has been forced to take part in a dangerous escape game. No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES introduces a new gameplay element: “Escape”. As with previous games, in “Investigation”, players will examine crime scenes and listen to testimonies. In “Somnium”, players enter the dream worlds of suspects and key witnesses. In the new “Escape” sections, players will solve puzzles to break out locked rooms. By moving between these three sections, players can obtain the necessary clues to solve the case.

The game’s director Kazuya Yamada (Spike Chunsoft) is writing the scenario, with Kotaro Uchikoshi, the previous scenario writer, overseeing as the series director. Yusuke Kozaki returns as character designer, and Keisuke Ito continues as the music composer.

Story

One day, after The New Cyclops Serial Killings was resolved, internet idol Iris Sagan (known as “A-set”) is abducted by a UFO and forced to participate in a perilous escape game called The Third Eye Game. Meanwhile, in another part of the city, a mysterious device is discovered. It resembles a coffin, and attached to it is a note that reads:

“Psync me”

Relying on a tenuous line of communication with the missing Iris, one man rises once again, determined to track down the UFO that should not even exist. Together with his partner, the AI-Ball Aiba, he sets out on a quest. That man…is Special Agent Kaname Date.



No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES is set to launch for Windows PC (via Steam), Switch, and Switch 2 on July 25th worldwide.
