Kotaro Uchikoshi put out a cryptic tweet last month and as of a few hours ago he’s back with a new one. From the message here that should be familiar to NirvanA Initiative fans, I think it’s safe to guess now we’re getting Ai 3, but we’ll see!
Same for me, the core narrative themes running throughout the whole story of NirvanA were things that greatly appealed to me, especially with what I was dealing with at the time so a lot of the game resonated with me strongly on a personal levelI preferred NirvanA Initiative between the two since the twist really hit for me and I greatly preferred the gameplay sections, but I loved both games so I’m really excited for more here and to see what they come up with.
They rank about equal for me. I prefer the twist and villain from the first one, but I love the new cast from NI and NI's twist did blindside me in a good way.I preferred NirvanA Initiative between the two since the twist really hit for me and I greatly preferred the gameplay sections, but I loved both games so I’m really excited for more here and to see what they come up with.
Honestly the twist was cool though if the first game was a 9.5 I'd rate the second as an 8The first Somnium Files is up there as one of my favorite games ever made; excellent story with excellently written characters and deftly managing to balance a comedic and serious tone. Nirvana Initiative didn't quite reach those same highs but it was still extremely good. The series has so far proven to be my favorite and most consistent batch of games from him, and I am more than down for a third.
Honestly, other than maybe house in fata Morgana, od say these should pretty much be the top of anyone's list for vns they should play.one of these days i'll get around to these
I actually did buy the first one on sale at some point but I have like 10+ other VNs already bought at some point or another too I want to get to someday and only play like 1-2 a year

It’s one of the only successful instances I can think of where everything is written deliberately for the plot twist. Some sacrifices had to be made to get there, but it’s absurdly impressive how gracefully they’re able to execute it, both in regard to the build up and the denouement. And the way it builds in a legitimately great excuse for the plot contrivances is the cherry on top.I’ll echo that I liked the first game more for the characters and story in particular, but the second game’s twist actually had me sit up and say, out loud, “Holy shit, they did not actually just pull that off” which is about the highest praise I can give
