During the 2nd trip to Bloom Park after I finished talking to the passenger, the game froze at the black screen (presumably loading?) with just the cursor visible and the audio loop playing. Alt-f4 made it hang completely and I had to kill the process.

Not sure if I should just give up or keep going and hope it gets better. As a huge fan of the Zero Escape series, as well as Ever17 and Remember11 from the infinity series... I was really hoping to like Ai: The Somnium Files, but... was it really written by the same guy? The writing, and especially the dialogue is all just so pathetically juvenile... it feels like something that would make a 12 year old blush. All of the characters that have gotten significant screen time so far are just plain annoyin...

So I first played this game like few years ago, so wanted to get another run now when I know the final But this gets me wondering When we first get Iris to the interrogation and then proceed to somnium - is she currently.. not 'herself' right?

Or it is just unpredictable twists

My game will randomly crash while im in a somnium or lag really badly in the post somnium cut-scenes. Is anyone else having this problem?
