Trivia[]
General[]
- The Office contains unused dialogue for 3 items that never appear in the room: a Baseball Bat, a Gourd Doll, and a Vuvuzuela. You can hear the audio for these unused lines in this video.
References to Media and Pop Culture[]
- In the chapter Day 4: Monday –syuurAI–, if you examine the Volleyball during the investigation segment where Pewter is present, he'll mention that the act of spiking is an important aspect of Volleyball, followed by him saying, "Hm. Spiking...spike...spikechun?" The name "Spikechun" is a common abbreviation of Spike Chunsoft, the video game company that developed AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES.
- In the chapter Day 2: Saturday —saikAI—, if you examine the Skis, Boss will ask Date if he's heard of "the murder case at the resort called Spur." This is a direct reference to the series of murders that occurs at the ski lodge named "Spur," located in the mountain range of Shinsho (Nagano), within the 1994 video game Kamaitachi no Yoru (localized as "Snowflake Inn" in Banshee's Last Cry), developed by Chunsoft years before its merger with Spike to become the aformentioned Spike Chunsoft.
- Within the game's code, there is hidden unused dialogue for interacting with the Skis on Day 2: Saturday —saikAI—. The full unused conversation with Boss goes as follows:
- Narration: Skis.
- Boss: "Are you familiar with the murder case at the resort called Spur?"
- Boss: "That pole there was the murder weapon."
- The line most likely goes unused due to the ski pole not being visible among the skis and the other items within the room. However, the line itself is a proper reference to the events of Ending 11 —one of the Bad Endings— of Kamaitachi no Yoru, where the protagonist is attacked and killed with a ski pole. This would suggest that, if this unused line were to be taken as canonical, then the following events are canon within the universe of AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES:
Kamaitachi no Yoru (Banshee's Last Cry) spoilers here! |

- The police poster located behind Boss's desk contains an icon at the bottom right corner. The icon is of the mascot character Usami, from the game Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.[1]
- The life-sized police doll Mario (鞠夫, Mario) is most likely a reference to a short-story/novel series known as the Mario series (鞠夫シリーズ) and/or the Doll series (人形シリーズ). The story revolves around the ventriloquist Yoshio Tomonaga and his split-personality Mario Marikoji, the latter of which is manifested as Yoshio's doll and who acts as a detective that solves crimes. The books were written by Takemaru Abiko, who is also known as the scenario writer for Kaimatachi no Yoru, the game mentioned earlier in this Trivia section.[2]
- In the chapter Day 3: Sunday -gyoukAI-, when you examine the Mask (Left), Boss will say that spikes come out of the mask if you put it on and Date will say that it sounds familiar. What's more, in the chapter Three Months Later -kassAI -, Iris says that she wants to wear the mask and Date replies by saying that if she wears it and gets her blood on it, she will turn into a vampire. This is a reference to the Stone Mask in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, which can turn someone into a vampire if the person wears it and pours blood on it.
