Zero Escape series director Kotaro Uchikoshi’s March 2017-announced Project: Psync is officially titled AI: The Somnium Files and will be released for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam.
Here is an overview of the game, via Spike Chunsoft:

About the Game
At the Spike Chunsoft Anime Expo panel, Zero Escape series director / scenario writer Kotaro Uchikoshi unveiled AI: The Somnium Files, set for a worldwide release on the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam! The game will take place in a more technologically-advanced Tokyo, Japan. The first teaser trailer introduced detective Kaname Date. Yusuke Kozaki (Fire Emblem Awakening, No More Heroes) is the lead character designer for the title.
About the Director
A director and scenario writer, his skills shine in his adventure titles, such as the Zero Escape series (including the award-winning Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors), Punch Line, and Ever17: The Out of Infinity. He is well-known for his unconventional plot twists and offbeat humor and has been actively working on many genres, many games, and many stories.
■ From the Panel
AI: The Somnium Files is a detective adventure game in which you investigate the mystery behind a series of murders in a technologically-advanced modern day Tokyo, Japan.
The game starts out with a bizarre murder case where a body is found with the eye gouged out of the skull. Players take on the role of a detective named Kaname Date on the trail of the serial killer behind this murder. Date’s left eye is an artificial eye with an AI unit within it that he uses to solve crimes.
If Date is investigating a case and finds a key witness or suspect, people will not always give up information freely, so Date can enter their memories and extract information. These memories are kind of like dreamscapes. The latin word for “dream” is “somnium,” so in the game the dreamscapes you enter are called somnium.
Since this is a detective game, there will be a wide cast of characters involved in the mystery. Iris, an 18 year-old high school student, is one of those characters. In the story, she is essentially a YouTuber who makes viral videos where she records herself dancing and singing, as well as Let’s Plays.
The game’s title can be broken down like so:
• AI: Artificial Intelligence
• Eye: The pronounciation of “AI” and main theme of the game
• Love: “Ai” also means “love” in Japanese
• Somnium: “Somnium” means “dream” in Latin
The Gonzo-produced Conception television anime will begin airing on October 9, Spike Chunsoft announced.
The company also revealed the game’s key visual and voice cast.
Here is the key visual:
And here is the cast:
From left to right, top to bottom:
Itsuki Yuge (voiced by Yuuki Ono)
Mahiru Konatsuki (voiced by Emiri Katou)
Allie (voiced by Aya Endo)
Femiluna (voiced by Saki Fujita)
Colette (voiced by Asami Shimoda)
Yuzuha (voiced by Yukiyo Fujii)
Finally, here is a brief introduction to the anime:
Granvania, a magical world corroded by “impurity.” Itsuki Yuge, who is summoned from earth (the heavens) to purify the impurity, must participate in love ceremonies with the “12 Maidens of the Stars” in order to give birth to “Star Children.” “In order to carry out my mission… give birth to my children!”
The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu reveals Conception Plus: Ore no Kodomo wo Undekure! for PlayStation 4. The game is a remaster of the original PSP release with enhanced graphical quality and additional new elements.
Weekly Famitsu’s online preview does not actually reveal the title of the game—it only teases that it is a remaster of a previously released Spike Chunsoft RPG. However, Sony’s Tokyo Game Show 2018 website has already listed the game and confirmed its title.
Conception Plus will launch in winter 2018 in Japan. It will have high-detail graphics, enhanced scenes, and new elements. The key feature of Conception is its system of adding “Star Children” born between the protagonist and 12 “Star Maidens” to the party. By intermingling with the Star Miadens and deepening your bonds, you will be able to produce Star Children of great capabilities. If you become even closer, the Star Maidens may even reveal their secrets.
官方表示,《Conception Plus 产子救世录(暂译,コンセプション プラス 俺の子供を产んでくれ! )》预计将于冬季推出。
