AI: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative is a singleplayer first-person and third-person puzzle and visual novel game in the AI: The Somnium Files series.
The PC port suffers from a lack of graphics quality adjustment options and antialiasing. The Somnium intro and outro animation videos are also significantly more compressed, compared to the equivalents used in the console versions.

- The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unity page for more details.
Downsampling
- Downsampling can be used to help with the extreme aliasing in the game, and make up for the lacking antialiasing it uses, at a large cost to performance.
- Your desktop resolution must be at or above the target virtual resolution before game will run at the resolution properly, Nvidia users can change to the DSR resolution via Nvidia Control Panels "Change resolution" menu.
