One of the hallmarks of games likeNo Sleep for Kaname Date, the third entry in the AI: The Somnium Files series, is a flowchart of possible endings you can get, all by making various different choices at key moments throughout the game.
But not all secret endings in No Sleep for Kaname Date come from major decisions or cornerstone story moments - some can happen if you’re a little too curious in places where you’ve been warned not to be as well. There are plenty of endings in No Sleep for Kaname Date, so here’s how to get them.
How To Get Alternate Endings
Playing through No Sleep for Kaname Date, much like the first AI: The Somnium Files, you’ll playfive chapterstotal, each of which sees you switching between Date as he and Aiba investigate Somniums, and Iris and the gang doing theirescape room puzzles.
You’ll want tolook at your flowchartin the menu screen to see where you currently are, how many of the eyeball items you found throughout the chapter, and observewhich way the chapter branches out, since moving between branches will be essential for getting alternate endings.
We’d recommend playing through normally the first time, instead of aiming for a specific ending - you’ll be able togo back through chapters after you’ve finished the gameand make different decisions along the way. Different choices lead to different endings, and you’ll take the story in some pretty wild directions by pursuing them.
