AI: The Somnium Files director says the game is different from traditional visual novels, hopes to make a sequel

If there's one thing AI: The Somnium Files has going for it right now, it's mystery. The whole game seems to be shrouded in mystery, with all sorts of confusing promo videos and teasers out there. Even basic gameplay details are being kept under tight wraps, but in an interview with Operation Bluebird, director Kotaro Uchikoshi let loose with some tiny details.

"It is different from usual Visual Novels, like, just straight text. There is going to be Targets, and Targets will have options. Then you'll pick those, and that will kinda forward you. ...You can check bodies and surroundings around you, but we lean more towards the conversations and people."

There's a lot more to learn about AI: The Somnium Files, but while we think about that, Uchikoshi is already thinking about what's next. While there's no concrete plans at the moment, Uchikoshi did say that if enough people grab AI: The Somnium Files, enjoy it, and demand a sequel, there could be a chance of one coming to fruition.
