AI: The Somnium Files (Kotaro Uchikoshi x Spike-Chunsoft) development updates
- Thread starter GSR
- Start date
Should have specified, I meant earlier works than Zero Escape. I don't mind a pure VN, so I'll definitely have a look at Ever17 and Remember11.
Its actually an upcoming title but Uchikoshi is co-directing and writing a new game with Kazutaka Kodaka, the creator of Danganronpa. That is coming out on PC (and maybe console?) worldwide next year called Death March Club.
Might also be something you'd be into if you like their previous work.
Yeah, I have been following the updates on that (though there haven't been that many, as far as I remember). Having loved both ZE and DR, I'm pretty excited about a project involving both Uchikoshi and Kodaka.
imo Ever17 feels like a worse 999. The lack of gameplay segments gets pretty exhausting, no real suspense for a lot of it, especially in the early game where basically nothing happens for several hours at a time, and you're just sitting around playing tag or whatever.
Some really cool concepts though admittedly. I liked the tsundere girl's whole origin story a lot.
Something else cool about Remember11 is that it's Hidari's first game job (character designer for FE: Shadows of Valentia, the Atelier Dusk trilogy, etc).
Not his best work, but there's some neat illustrations all the same.
I bet the next big development is just going to be at the regular A-Set time. So 3.5 hours from now.
Is Remember11 worth playing, even with the incomplete story? And if so, does anyone know where I can buy it/find a patch?
Oh, check out the Naixatloz web. There's a weird video at the bottom of the page. Also, there's a map???
Map pointing to Akihabara. Do you know when that updated? Certainly seems to be going beyond a coincidence now.
Edit: Looking at Wayback, the video and map were added before the 20th. So not to coincide with this update at least. They do advertise 3D model production as one of their services, so still could genuinely be unrelated. I guess the map is their office location.
Guess we finally have some sort of clue to what the teaser image from 2017 was pointing to.
Oh god, it's her eye? Wow.Guess we finally have some sort of clue to what the teaser image from 2017 was pointing to.
Initial story premise said:
If it is Iris then that would mean she's not actually in the game alive.
Considering they have her detailed model and voice actors and everything I could imagine we maybe see more of her via flashbacks or videos.
Of course Uchikoshi could just troll us right now.
I'm curious. Why is the blade and table clean?
Did the video happen after he posted the tweet?
They could use segments of Iris' videos in the game. It wouldn't surprise me.
But this whole ARG might end up being a big prologue for the game.
Could be that these events aren't at the start of the game too. The killer's trademark is gouging out eyes, so that would happen to all the victims.
No way, that would be suicide for this game.
It's only a couple of months away though, judging by it being rated.
Also, I forget who the 3rd mascot Iris mentioned as her favourite was, but the other two were Monokuma (a white bear) and Tama (a person in a animal suit).
I think a few months from now. Maybe june or july.
Releasing it now, and so close to Zanki Zero. Would probably hurt them.
I also assumed this was like a prologue.
Remember the ESRB rating summary? "a woman's torso cut open by a saw blade"
Could be a different woman of course, but most likely this scene is also in the game. It could mean the game has all this advertisement stuff as part of a prologue in it (for the ones who didn't follow her YT videos and twitter posts). Or they just show it later with a twist.
FUCK
She's dead guys, but i guess we at least know what the ESRB meant by someone "having their torso cut open by a saw blade"? :(
*sigh*
I can't be the only one who got genuinely angry at this tweet, right? It might just be the stress of what happened with DR continuing to haunt me, but having Uchi just straight up go "lol i saw someone who looks like her!" minutes after a video showing that she very clearly died is pretty mean.
There's no "School/Island/Salmon mode" where she survives, right?

Unless if this is hinting at a twist where Uchikoshi himself is one of the villains in game. Which would really be something.

So how likely is the polar bear actually just a guy in a costume. The feet really make it seem like one.
