A new element Kaname date without sleep It’s an escape room, similar to Zero escape series. Can you tell me why you decided to include them?
kazuya yamADA: this time, kōtarō is a coin Not the main writer. We’re both here Zero escape Series, which is why we thought of adding the escape room section to this game. We had a lot of conversations with Uchikoshi and we would make a lot of choices, but it was just because Zero escape.

Since Uchikoshi is not the main writer this time, you personally would say what is the biggest difference between his style and yours?
Yamada: I think I’m having fun joking [laughs]. The game against the player is not weird when I try to follow Uchikoshi and his writing style and try to track as many players as possible. ai:somnium file After playing the previous entry.
name, ai:somnium filewhat does that mean? How did you choose this name?
Yamada: This is because in the second entry, AI: Dream Archives – Initiativedate is not the main role. But we bring him back to this new work. We think clearly that he is not sleeping, he is working again.
Alex FlaGG: I’m going to say that for localization, the very literal translation is just “Kaname Date doesn’t sleep” or “Kaname Date doesn’t sleep”. It felt a little too dry, so we decided to focus on something that had more meaning and insight into the theme and the meaning of the game. so”Kaname date without sleep“It’s a great way to hint at this.
Date will be active in hunting, pursuing a detective whose obsession with the case is not falling asleep. There is another phrase: “The evil man has no rest.” We consider “Kaname date has no rest” as an option. But “no sleep” is more suitable and very close to Japanese wording, so that’s why we chose it.

ai:somnium file It is set between the events of the first game and the second game. Why especially the time range?
Yamada: First, if we set the game’s schedule to the second title, then we will have to think about a lot of things.
I don’t want to create any new scheme of any kind after this AI: Dream Archives – Initiative. We chose the time between the first and second matches because there is more depth to dig into the story. If the story continues afterward Nirv InitiativeWe hope Uchikoshi writes something new.
If the opportunity arises AI: Dream Archives – Initiative. Will you accept it?
Yamada: No, I’m very tired, I want to rest [laughs].

We will see other platforms release in the future ai:somnium file? This will also be the first game in the Switch 2 series, so are you considering a Switch 2 upgrade in previous games?
Yamada: The possibilities are endless, so [more platforms] possible. I’m not the one who can make a decision [for upgrades]. If senior and producers think it’s a good opportunity to make more money, then it’s a possibility.
