Game Overview
The game brings players in a near-future Tokyo and follows the role of detective Kaname Date tracking down a serial killer. This mystery adventure game is divided into two parts: investigation parts and somnium section.
Date’s special artificial eye helps him solve the twisted case which is mostly done in the investigation parts of the game. He uses his artificial intelligence unit Aiba’s functions to facilitate the investigation in the real world by doing X-ray vision and zooming.
On the other hand, during the somnium parts of the game, thr protagonist uses a machine called Psync Device to enter the minds of suspects or key witnesses who do not want to share information with him, in the form of dreamscapes called “somnium,” to discover evidences and extract the data by solving puzzles.
The puzzles involve examining objects and choosing an action to perform with it, and solving mental locks – obstacles standing in the way of clues – allowing the player to sink deeper into the character’s subconscious. As there is a six-minute time limit before the dreamscape collapses, and actions take time to perform, the player must be careful in deciding what to do. Within the somnium parts, Aiba takes on the form of a human woman and acts as the player avatar.
