To solve with your AI eyeball Alba
Grisly murder mystery visual novelAI: The Somnium Filesis getting a sequel. CalledAI: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative, it features a new set of murders to solve with AI-eyeball Alba and new protagonist Mizuki Okiura. There’s a teaser trailer below.
This won’t mean much to you if you didn’t play the original game, and I should know:

The game’sSteam pageexplains that the crime this time involves the “Half Body serial killings”, beginning when half a body is found and then the other half isn’t discovered until six years later. You take control of Special Agent Mizuki Okiura, who was a main character and surrogate daughter to protagonist Kaname Date in the original Somnium Files.
Beyond that, we don’t know much, but it seems like AI sidekick Alba returns, suggesting it’ll be a similar mixture of visual novel dialogue, branching paths, and delving into people’s memories to solve puzzles and unlock clues.
Nirvana Initiative (I’m already sick of its official capitalisation) is due for release in spring 2022 according to itsofficial site, and will be release on, uh, Windows 10 and Steam, as well as everything else.
