Eh, The Somnium Files was fun and had some cool ideas but it was nowhere near list material imo.

- Lackluster cast (which is a huge flaw to me, I generally need to care about characters to care about any story-based thing). Iris/Ota were bad, Date was bland, Aiba's banter was hit-and-miss, the Boss and the mom were just kinda boring. I think the only one I particularly liked was Mizuki.
- Some of the somnium sequences were really cool, and I liked the idea of investigating via somnium sequences, but plot-wise it felt under-utilized. A lot of the sequences ended with the characters going, "well, that was weird, idk what that was all about." As a result, some of the route divergence felt forced, like there's no real reason to notice Sejima hiding in the yakuza office in one route and not another.
- This is admittedly just a personal problem but I did Iris' left-side somnium very early, loved it, and then was disappointed that no other somnium in the game is nearly as good.

another place and time, without a great divide, and we could be flying deadly high
