No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES, a new entry in the AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES series is coming to Steam on July 25.
*The release time will be 12am PT.

The player takes on the role of Kaname Date, the protagonist, and once again teams up with the AI-Ball, Aiba, to tackle a mysterious case and rescue Iris, an internet idol who has been forced to take part in a dangerous escape game. No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES introduces a new gameplay element: "Escape". As with previous games, in "Investigation", players will examine crime scenes and listen to testimonies. In "Somnium", players enter the dream worlds of suspects and key witnesses. In the new "Escape" sections, players will solve puzzles to break out of locked rooms. By moving between these three sections, players can obtain the necessary clues to solve the case.

A day after The New Cyclops Serial Killings was resolved, internet idol Iris Sagan (known as "A-set") is abducted by a UFO and forced to participate in a perilous escape game called The Third Eye Game. Meanwhile, in another part of the city, a mysterious device is discovered. It resembles a coffin, and attached to it is a note that reads:

"Psync me"

Relying on a tenuous line of communication with the missing Iris, one man rises once again, determined to track down the UFO that should not even exist. Together with his partner, the AI-Ball Aiba, he sets out on a quest. That man...is Special Agent Kaname Date.

The game's director Kazuya Yamada (Spike Chunsoft) is writing the scenario, with Kotaro Uchikoshi, the previous scenario writer, overseeing as the series director. Yusuke Kozaki returns as character designer, and Keisuke Ito continues as the music composer.

For this title, I'm serving as the "scenario advisor" from the perspective of overseeing the entire series. From the beginning, I trusted the development staff, but I was filled with awe at the quality, which far exceeded my expectations.
The core element of this game, the "escape game," is not just a collection of puzzles; it has been intricately woven with a deep thematic significance, and its difficulty is perfectly balanced…! I believe both core and casual players will definitely enjoy it.
This game is a heartfelt anthem of love created by the staff who love the "AI" series, for all the fans who also love the "AI" series.

I am Kazuya Yamada, the director and scenario writer for this project.
We've been able to bring this title to you thanks to all of you who said, "I want to see Date as the protagonist once again." Thank you so much.
As we considered how to make this title as satisfying as possible, we ended up cramming so much into it that it caused a lot of trouble for the development team. However, because of that, we believe we've created a title that everyone will enjoy. So please look forward to it.
