Play as detective Kaname Date on the case of an elusive serial killer in this thrilling, sci-fi murder mystery.

I very much recommend it, but CW in that it has a lot of very horny jokes which might not be for everyone. Also if you plan on playing it, try to avoid reading anything about the plot to avoid spoilers.

    Someone in the steam comments says they joke a lot about pedophilia. Is it like the typical anime young girl fetishization stuff? Game looks cool but I’m pretty over Japanese media that includes that stuff in otherwise good products.

      I think the only time this is brought up is someone falsely accusing Date of being a pedophile, but I don’t remember the exact context of it.

      Is it like the typical anime young girl fetishization stuff?

      I don’t recall anything like fetishizing underage characters, but there is plenty of pervy anime humor tbh. There is a character Iris who is an 18 yo streamer/idol and at least a couple of the characters are pervy simps towards her. There also is a subplot of an older rich guy dating a high schooler but it’s not played for laughs and portrayed very negatively.

      So I found this CW guide which is extremely detailed and probably contains everything objectionable: https://drainbangle.tumblr.com/post/655488958657085440/ai-the-somnium-files-content-warnings It’s pretty thorough, though I do disagree a bit with the characterization here of how LGBTQ characters are treated.

      I definitely would agree with that guide that there’s a lot of “anime bullshit”, so I would definitely steer clear if you want to avoid that kind of thing.
