psyncin' in the i/eye/ai

I got AI: The Somnium Files for Christmas, and I just finished the last route earlier today.

It was quite a ride, to say the least, and one that I enjoyed quite a bit. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's a fan of Zero Escape or any of Uchikoshi's other previous works, so long as they have a reasonably strong stomach and can handle some rather gross stuff involving eyes.

I also recommend playing the game as blind as possible, as I think that helped enhance my own experience of it. :3

Hey, I also finished The Somnium Files today! It's absolutely ridiculous and great, great fun. I'm glad you enjoyed it as well!

Haha, I saw your post pretty much right after I beat the game myself!

For a game that can be so dark and gruesome when it wants to be, it's got some amazing comedy as well. I laughed out loud at that one QTE with button-mashing to build up Date's horny spirit so he could zoom off at top speed towards an alleged porn mag. Most of the QTEs involving porn mags (real or otherwise) were pretty funny, actually even if I managed to fuck up throwing one twice in a row because I'm not that great at QTEs.
