AI: The Somnium Files Sequel Inserts Gender Politics in Both Western & Japan Versions

AI: The Somnium Files – NirvanA Initiative, a sequel to AI: The Somnium Files, has followed in the footsteps of its predecessor and perhaps to a more corrupt degree as the game directly talks about LGBTUUDDLRLRBAS people by stating there are “more than just men and women”.

AI: The Somnium Files – NirvanA Initiative released for various platforms in June 2022 and it has players controlling detectives Mizuki Date and Kuruto Ryuki to help them solve a series of murders.
