[Rewrite this title] Nintendo Switch 2: Insomnia Chronicles – AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES Review

Alright, so here we are talking about “No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES” squeezing its way onto the Nintendo Switch 2. Yes, you read that right. The first time for this series on this fancy new gizmo. It’s like, if you were still yawning over The New Cyclops Serial Killings mystery, well, wake up! We’re getting abducted by UFOs this time. I mean, Iris Sagan—A-set, our internet darling—just swooshed up into the sky, Alice in Wonderland style. And yes, you, my friend, are Kaname Date, the special agent with an AI buddy named Aiba. Yeah, AI. Funny how that loops back around, right?

Now, quick rewind! This story doesn’t exactly lean into AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES – nirvanA Initiative territory, so you’re not gonna get spoiled or anything. Phew! More fun for the fans, I guess. We’re talking Escape Rooms, mystery, and all that jazz. Did I mention I’ve dabbled with these games before? Yup, been there, done that. Murder mysteries? Yes, please! And oh man, the voice acting? Greg Chun, Jackie Lastra, Erika Harlacher—these folks bring it all to life like a Netflix binge.

Anyway, sidetracked! So, you’ve got three gameplay sections, like boxes of cereal on a chaotic Saturday morning. Investigation, Escape, Somnium. Dive into the Investigation, poke around, snoop, because that’s part of the fun. Your detective senses are tingling, right? With Date’s left eye, yes, I said left, you can see beyond the obvious. Feels almost like being Sherlock for a day. And a friendly hint: inspect those mysterious glowing objects.

Escape segments? The name says it all. You gotta wiggle your way out using whatever’s lying around. Logical puzzles? Personal nemesis, but who am I to argue. And Somnium? Well, that’s just your ticket into the dreamland carnival—a burst of colors that even your sleepiest mug doesn’t dream of seeing. Puzzles and pressure, because six minutes isn’t endless!

Chipping into difficulty modes feels like picking a movie snack. Story, Easy, Standard, Hard. Pick your flavor and go all in. Infinite retries or not, will you be the champion? For the puzzle folks, it’s all about using your wits, flipping through things, and hoping for the best.

And oh, wait, not to forget, collecting those sparkling Eyes! Let’s just say curiosity is rewarding this time, unlocking surprises along the journey. Keep clicking until you find all the hidden gems. Seriously. And if you’ve got 40 bucks lying around before it hits stores? Jump on this Switch 2 adventure come July 25.

Just a casual reminder, this whole rollercoaster of words is courtesy of Spike Chunsoft – thanks for tossing a Nintendo Switch 2 copy my way!

So, uh, what’re you waiting for? Dive in, save Iris, uncover truths, and maybe, just maybe, find a whole new mystery to lose sleep over.

(And really, why did I notice the spaceship blinking like Christmas lights? Brain’s weird, right?)
