#VisualNovel #aithesomniumfiles #Uchikoshi - Ігри
Please Note: I have taken great care to REDUCE SPOILERS to an absolute minimum and focus mainly on the gameplay mechanics (not story). But it is of course a visual novel! 😀
There are also a few short scenes that may be considered "disturbing" (murder), so please take care. In the end, it's a story about gruesome murders ...
Both games are ON SALE on the SWITCH eShop (huge discount) in many regions - well worth checking! 👍
Thank you to everybody who pointed this out.
The dub for the Somnium Files games are so good it was weird hearing it in Japanese for the first time on here lol
Outstanding voice acting. Tbh, I don't often turn on English voices for Japanese games - but I do with this one.
@@Food4Dogs After having listened to the Japanese voices, I cannot imagine anyone else other than the English voice for Kaname Date. The voice actor just embodies that role to perfection, and every one of his deliveries, especially the funnier ones, is a delight.
i cannot fathom not playing uchikoshi games in english. you miss out on so many jokes that are said so hilariously by the VA's!
I am 100% in the camp you mentioned who immediately tune out when they hear “visual novel”. In this case, however, I kept listening and was ultimately convinced to get this game (the sequel)!
Not only that, but you’ve also made me aware of the existence of the Pop-Up Parade figures. I’ll be sure to cite this video at my bankruptcy hearing.
😂 please don't go bankrupt!
definitely get the first game too!
i personally enjoyed the first game a lot more so i heavily recommend it, but i hope you enjoy your experience nonetheless!
@@SALVA710N thanks!
Visual novels sounded super boring and pointless to me until I tried out Ace Attorney. Now i've finished 8 games from that series out of 11, and i'm looking to get into Danganronpa soon.
TIL there's a sequel! Guess I'll have to come back and watch this later!
Having just platinumed nirvanA Initiative, I can definitely recommend it! I think the first game is a bit stronger, though (mostly because NI's big plot twist didn't fully stick the landing for me in the way that the first game's did)
definitely agree. i think going in the “spoiler free” direction was to the story’s detriment.
Thanks for reducing the spoilers! Congrats on the collector's edition. Also they have the game in the eshop and other places for 7-8 dollars; the first one.
Thank you for that info! 💜
i'm a huge fan of both the first and the second game! thank you for covering it
I’m new to gaming and the gaming universe in general, would you suggest this series for a newbie?
@@milkchocolate6212 it depends on what you mean! ai the somnium files and ai nirvana are very story heavy games, so they're good for people who like to read or listen to stories (the game is almost completely voice acted, so even if you don't want to read, you can listen along to the dialogue). the story is a murder mystery, so it can be kind of gruesome at some points, but if you're okay with that then it's a very interesting and exciting story that's very worth experiencing. the plot can become confusing at some points, but i'm sure that with some guides it can become easier to understand if it did confuse you. as for the gameplay, it's pretty simple, as most of the game is text you'll mostly be pressing the button to advance the dialogue, however during the somnium segments you can move around and interact with objects, which is more of a puzzle-solving kind of gameplay. some of these puzzles are fun and add a lot to the story, but it can be confusing at sometimes too, i had to look up a guide during some bits to see whether i was doing it correctly, but other than that i think it's really simple. there's no shame in looking up a guide in case you get stuck, whatever helps you enjoy a game the best you can is always a good thing. i love this game a lot and i would love for more people to be able to experience it, so i would say go for it! have fun.
@@milkchocolate6212 Very sensible advice from @prince here! Never hesitate to consult a guide - it's how I learned the ropes with games.
You've sold me on this series, I didn't know it was from the zeros escape director! Will add to my wishlists for sure
OMG YES I LOVE AI! Finished both games and recently just started getting through Zero Escape myself. So glad to see this unboxing! Definitely made my day. If you make a playthrough of the game I'll definitely be there for it!
the way you missed out on so many zero escape references in both games...
@@snowysnowwish I’ll come back to them 👌🫡
What's that supposed to mean? Are you replying to Otaku7598?
@@Food4Dogs yes, i am!
@@snowysnowwish ahh ... no idea what you're referring to 😄- just as long as no insults are intended. It can sometimes be hard to 'read' intended meanings in online convos.
Loved everything about the first game especially the ambient sound tracks & the Saito twist at the end. Then shortly after i finished, N.I. got announced and i couldn’t believe it, so that collectors edition is a must for me!
you might want to spoiler warning this!
i wont spoil anything but im loving this sequel so far! nice unboxing Britta and hope you are well.
This doesn't seem like something that would be my "cup of tea." It seems very dark - not horror, though. Thank you for sharing regardless. The art looks pretty well done. The Inuyasha shirt looks awesome, by the way!
It is actually very light hearted, it is a murder mystery but the main protag is a giant pervert and the game is chok full of raunchy humor and lighthearted banter.
Ohh I’m interested! I’ll check it out! ☺️
@@ridleyroid9060 Interesting. Just from the clips shown here, I took it as a bit dark. Thank you for clarifying.
@@milkchocolate6212 I MAY check it out, since Ridley Roid said it isn't as dark as I may have initially taken it. Then again, I still have all of the Tales of series to check out (at least on Steam), to include Arise once I buy it. Tales of Graces f is so much fun that I don't know if I'll ever get to another Tales game for a while.
@@infiniteaaron like the other comment said, it has a very light hearted humorous tone but there are still dark moments. if you really cant stomach some murder scenes this might not be the game for you but otherwise i 1000% recommend it, AITSF is one of my favorite games ^^
the sound design in the game sounds so crisp!
I wasn't even aware there was a 2nd game, thank you so much for bring it to my attention, I hope you enjoy the next part in this wonderful world.
I'd love to play AI and the sequel eventually! Currently though I'm reading through Uchikoshi's earlier works, starting with Never7.
I was looking forward to your thoughts on this. I'm also a huge fan of Uchikoshi so I was happy to see a sequel to this. I have finished both AI the Somnium games and they are phenomenal. The 2nd game is such a wild ride.
Thankfully my collector's edition wasn't cancelled (in Canada) but I did hear a lot of cancellations to our American brothers. Glad you managed to get a copy of the collector's too! Enjoy the game! Great video as always!
I just bought the first game last week after spending months looking for it. It's rarer than the collector's edition of the sequel.
Wow, I hadn't realised it was that scarce. For all platforms?
@@Food4Dogs the ps4 version seems slightly easier to find, but not by much
@@Food4Dogs Yep. At least in my neck of the woods. Even when I went to conventions or expos, even checked various shops, not a single copy could be found. I was just lucky to have finally found a copy. Meanwhile, the collector's edition for the NirvanA Initiative is still available at one of the stores - the PS4 version. Of course I now have to get it before it meets the same fate as the first game XD
i mean it makes sense, the sequel is new whereas the original is about 3 years old now
@@Food4Dogs yeah 80 for switch. Its why i did digital
Having Mizuki as the main character is positively thrilling to me. She was SUCH a compelling member of the original cast, and she most certainly deserves the spotlight! Not to mention, I'd be interested in having a few questions about her, uh...capabilities answered. I hope you have a BLAST playing through the game! I'm holding off until my birthday in November to get this, so that I can binge it while I have some time off of work.
I’ve never heard of a developer removing spoilers to previous entries like that. Doing so speaks well of them.
Wow what an amazing find and I appreciate the spoiler reduction! Visual novels really can be so exciting and I'm definitely interested also I agree with you that it shows some significant care that the creators of the game made the sequel independently playable/enjoyable.
so love Uchikoshi Kotaro!! great SF visual novel as always
This is the first time I have watched an unboxing video from you. I enjoyed the way you took your time to describe so many aspects of the game and its development in detail. I also appreciate the way you read parts of the booklet included in the game aloud. It was relaxing and refreshing to watch someone who doesn't rush. Although I have never heard of these games, I'm now intrigued by them.
Off topic, but I also really love your Inu Yasha t-shirt! ❤ Inu Yasha was my first anime as a teenager many decades ago, and is what got me into anime, so it is very special to me. I also notice you have a Terry Pratchett book on your shelf in the background. I love his Books! We have so much in common in terms of interests, and it makes me feel really welcome to your channel.
Ah yes, I'm on a real Terry Pratchett binge 😀 - reading the Tiffany Aching arc right now.
You're very welcome here! 😎
@@Food4Dogs Thank you so much! You'll adore the Tiffany series, they're some of my favorites. I love listening to the recordings of them on audible as much as I do reading them because the characters are voiced so well by Stephen Briggs. I make it a point to listen to them once a year.
man oh man i see vagabond on that shelf!
I really love these games! I was also an unfortunate victim of the Amazon stock shortage, and sadly I couldn't procure my own Collector's Edition in the end. But watching you unbox the package and talk so warmly about the series brought a big smile to my face. I hope others can see this video and give Somnium Files a chance! Best wishes to you and your lovely channel.
Thank you, Aster, and sorry to hear Amazon failed you as well.
As a fan of the Zero Escape series as well as the first game, I am highly delighted that you covered this! Very nice that you got the CE, Aiba looks really well done! Thank you for making my day and for always spreading the good culture of Visual Novels! Many years later, I wanna be known as a cool gran just like you! - Fan from the Philippines
I have played both AI games and all Zero Escape Games and I just am so happy you're reviewing and unboxing these games! I absolutely fell in love with the series and nirvanA is so, so good! I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I did!!
Love the excitement in your voice!.. Also, if I haven't mentioned it before you may like Detroit: Become Human. It's sci-fi fantasy that explores the idea of AI servants becoming aware.
I actually played it when it came to PS+ and then bought a physical copy. Awesome game. PoodlePa was glued to TV the whole time. 😀
Ah, The last hero by Terry Pratchett. Absolutely love his works. The world lost a Grand Wizard on 2015, RIP Sir.
You are so beyond wonderful! Not only are your videos informative and fun but you help me so much when I have anxiety- your kindness and calm always shines through!
This collector’s edition is gorgeous! So happy it arrived safe for you. Few things are worse in collecting that a game being damaged in transit. Congrats! Love AI The Somnium Files and I instantly preordered it too.
I love your channel because your so calm and cheerful
I love this channel. I am not a collector but love seeing all the goodies included in these box sets.
Gosh seeing you upload again is like a warm hug on a rainy day, so genuinely heartwarming ❤
My friends been bugging me about AI: The Somnium Files and Nirvana Initiative for ages, and now that I snagged the first one on sale, you upload this, it’s meant to be!!
The premise of the game seems great, a visual novel with a darker story to grip the player! I appreciate you reducing spoilers as I’m hoping to play through both games at some point.
Thanks for the fun video! ❤
I can’t even express how happy I am to see you upload. great video! I had seen this game on the switch store and thought I might check it out later, but this is making me think I should try the series next. The fact that they give you the option to avoid spoilers from the first game shows that a lot of care went into this.
I feel the same! 🥺💜
You know I just want to say you are a treasure. I watch your videos in my spare time and they are always just so... warm. There's heart in this channel and I hope it grows bigger than what it is.
It’s very nice to see you today ☺️ I was having a stressful day and this video is very successfully relaxing me now that I’m home 💜
Britta has three Vagabond volumes and the Mermaid Forest manga?!?!!?! She truly is a cultured woman!
Yep, I buy *all* Rumiko manga - that's how much I love her.
I love so much your videos, thanks for doing such a amazing work
I just discovered your channel and I want to say how much I love your videos, they put a big gleaming smile on my face, I was actually having a kinda rough day so this was a nice way to calm down.
That's nice to hear - thank you.
Thank you so much once again for such a helpful and informative review, as usual, I always enjoy your videos and trust your reviews and taste in games, it truly never disappoints.
As a collector, I totally relate to the anxiety that comes with it haha, so happy you managed to get your collector's edition copy!!
Hope you're well, healthy and happy and can't wait for more videos and reviews to come!
I love your channel. Found you recently and you're a true joy to watch. UA-cam is a better place for your being here. Very interesting how you became a gamer and the fact that you've stuck by it and youre now an avid gamer is awesome. Take care and have a good day.
Welcome.
I LOVE this video! thank you for the unboxing! I really love this series and want that Aiba figure!
Thank you for the unboxing! That's a lovely figure of Aiba. Love Uchikoshi's games and adored the first Somnium Files. Making my way through the second now, it's not gripping me as much as the first but still enjoying it!
I didn’t realize they were separate games, but a different more definitive version of the same thing. I’ve had my eye on it for a while, so thank you for making me aware of that!
Lovely to see another video from you again, always a treat! I was actually discussing this with a friend about playing the original as I was on the fence. But considering its on game pass and seems to have a interesting premise, I might just get around to playing the first at some point!
I really loved AI 1 & 2, so I'm glad to see you covered them!
Great video Britta, I hadn't actually heard of this series until I saw your video so I may have to check it out. Also very nice to see Terry Pratchett on your bookshelf!
Thank you for this amazing video.
Already finished both games with a few friends and it was a very fun experience. :3
Looks amazing, well done as usual.
Since i discovered your channel i have been trying this kind of games and this one looks specially fun
I'm a huge Uchikoshi fan, so I'm happy that you were also able to get the CE! Once I saw that Aiba would get a figure with this edition, I knew I had to get it.
In case you didn't know, the first game had an youtube channel with the idol character A set: Lemnisgate english. It's kind like a vtuber?
And the second game had an ARG. I think there's a wiki to help you experience it again from the beggining.
the first game had an ARG too!
Ah ... thank you. I seem to have a dim memory of that vtube channel, but don't believe I ever visited.
I just finished the game yesterday, so watching this video now is awesome. Thanks
Ahh new video! I never comment on anything but just wanted to say I’m happy you’re healthy and well, love your videos so much they are a treat! Brings lots of joy to many
Sending love x
this series has been on my periphery for a little while now, and they've been sat in my steam wishlist waiting for the price to reasonably go down 😅 but! the artwork is lovely, and you've really sold me on them more than i already was! love me a good visual novel, and they absolutely deserve more attention as a genre
The first game was my most recent completion on the Switch. It was fantastic. I look forward to playing this new one.
Thank you for sharing this awesome unboxing!!
Lovely and insightful as usual
Lovely video as always! I can’t wait to try the game out myself.
This was so helpful. I've been sitting on the 1st game for a month
I love the AI:TSF games so much, it’s so nice to hear other people talking about them!
Hi Britta !
I’m a pretty new fan, only just having stumbled upon your content recently, but i just have to say that i truly love your content! you seem like such a wholesome, kind, and genuine channel and i’ve loved watching all the videos of yours i’ve seen. the way you so openly share your experiences and honest opinions is really lovely and the way you approach everything in such a positive manner is very refreshing. i just had to leave a comment somewhere and let you know (that is if you see this at all lol) and let you know how much your channel has brightened up my days. keep up the amazing work and i hope you have a lovely week! (love the inuyasha shirt by the way)💖
Thank you, courtney, and welcome. 😀
Yay, an AI video! I love the first game and I was incredibly excited for Nirvana Initiative's release despite the 2 week wait Europe had to endure. I have a loooot of thoughts about the game, I wish I could experience it blind again.
You have the coolest t-shirt collection I swear.
Hi Britta! Great vid. The first game has been on my mind for quite some time. I was looking to try it out on gamepass, but got distracted by several other things. Might move this one up the queue.
I always think the worry with these smaller niche games is that they might get yanked from GamePass sooner .. had that happen with a few. So a good idea not to leave it too late. 👍
I'm a recent subscriber. That said you are a treasure that should be protected at all costs. Respect 💯👊
She might be the coolest grandma ever.
Hi I was recommended your channel today and subscribed. I think its really cool that you're passionate about video games and like Japanese ones too. Looking forward to catching up on previous videos and what new ones you release. :)
Hi Matthew and welcome.
I hope you enjoy browsing around. Not much new coming right now, I'm afraid, as I'm struggling with a health issue.
But I do keep working on projects behind the scenes. 😎
@@Food4Dogs I hope you get well soon and best wishes to you.
I'm so glad you got the collector's edition, Britta! I got a collector's edition of this one and the original as well (but for Switch) and I loved both so much.
I would have preferred Tama to Aiba but I have no complaints. Ryuki is my new video game crush.
LOL I didn't even notice the hamster form on Aiba until you pointed it out. 😅
I have seen this game on my local game shop and I never considered it until now thank you
What a good series! That's absolutely wonderful that you were able to get this! I was very late to the party on the first game (it slipped under my radar since it wasn't rated in NZ so couldn't be sold / got no advertising? Also saved by nzgameshop from that). Anyway, adored it when I managed to play and am excited for NirvanA Initiative when I do get around to it some time soon.
Yes, we've been getting more and more of these non-releases in NZ of more niche games (often linked to ratings) and it just makes it so frustrating for us.
OMG! I'm playing this now. I pre-ordered the sequel before I finished the first game and played them one after the other. I haven't finished it, yet, but I like how the sequel improved the gameplay in every way possible. The puzzles are actually fun this time. Anyway, I like that the special edition came with the Pop Up Parade. The lil Aiba is my favorite part of the figure. The translucency is a nice effect and I always thought its design was the epitome of ugly-cute.
I hadn't thought of ugly-cute .. there's a set of stickers with the first game, and there the 'hamster' version looks like a totally kawaii cuddle plushie! 😆
@@Food4Dogs If a plush ever got made, I'd buy it immediately.
@@Tenko72 😀 I'd be onto it in a flash!
I love your Inuyasha shirt so much!
Thank you for the recommendation and thoughts, we happen to have the Gamepass so Ill def be looking into the first game to get started!
thank you ma'am finally discover something new for my future reference game 😄😄😄
I LOVED the first A.I. and need to get around to playing this new one.
This is an absolutely awesome game!
I have played the first game a while ago and was amazed by how well the story was told. When I recently found out about the second one, I immediately bought it. I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's as good as I remember the first one to be.
Just finished watching a AI somnium files playthrough (English dubbed, very nicely done I thought.) by someone on the Discord server I'm on. She 100% it, making sure to do all the paths and even replaying certain choices to show what would happen based on your decision. Her name is Strayfae and does mostly Harvest Moon Type game playthroughs. I really enjoyed the playthrough and enjoyed the story and characters. How cool you found a figure of AI. It's beautiful.
Great video!
Congrats on the Collectors Edition! I’m relatively new to the LE or collectors edition scene so held off from ordering the Collectors Edition until a week before release date. A big mistake, on my part. I didn’t realize that there’s a cut-off date where you are not allowed to order Collectors Edition, well before the actual release date, so unfortunately, I missed out on a Collectors edition. It’s a shame, since I was a big fan of Somnium Files! Great vid as usual and hope you enjoy Nirvana Initiative :)
Is there any chance of it being resold online maybe?
@@milkchocolate6212 eBay - always eBay. Had a quick look just now, and surprisingly, can't see many obvious scalping prices. Most are just slightly above the actual release retail price for the Nirvana Initiative.
@@Food4Dogs oh, that’s actually great to hear! Now I know what to get on my next pay day
@@Ritsu362 😀 happy hunting!
Not usually my kind of game, but you made it sound so interesting that i'm going to give it a go.
I didn't know this game existed, thanks!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💖💖💖💖💖
I've been curious about this game, but there's just too many others this year I gotta play already... Haven't even started Digimon Survive! 😅
Oh I know ... what an incredible year for JRPGs and visual novels!
i had the same problem with my preorders sadly! it got canceled last minute, and they said they would try to resolve the issue but so far they don’t seem to be doing anything about it sadly :( i’m trying to find it secondhand right now, but the prices are through the roof.
i hope you have fun playing the game, it looks amazing!
I just discovered your channel, i love how your videos are so calming but interesting at the same time. Also, i think that your age somehow makes ur videos so mutch more different then others and thats a good thing !!! i learned a lot of things watching your videos and saw other perceptions on differant subject. You are a trully inspiring person. There is a good amount of work put into evrey single video ive watched on your channel. I've asked myself many times : will i still be playing videogames in 40 years?: and just by taking a look at your content i have my awnser :) you made me realise that whatever the age, if you put your heart into someting it will work out for the most part . Finaly, id'like to say a huge thanks for your videos you are a sweetheart and a beautiful human being dont change.
Your English is absolutely fine - no apologies please! 😃
Thank you, it's lovely to get feedback like this, and welcome to the channel. 🙋♀
The only visual novel that really clicked with me, and it ended up being one of my favorite games of all time. Highly recommend it, story and characters are amazing.
If you like AI, you should check out the director's previous series, Zero Escape!
Your videos always entertain me while I'm working. My main gaming platform is the PC, but I also play on the switch, 3ds and ps4 (mainly rpgs)... and after watching so many of your videos I had to buy a vita 🤷♀... hugs from brazil
Oh! 😮😎
Congrats on your Vita! 🌟
May you have a happy gaming life with it. 🤗
Great vid
Perfect timing, I just got one of the endings on this game
I have these games in my collection, but I've always had a hard time sitting down and playing Visual Novels. I think I'll have to give them another try.
Happy you came through the pre-order saga with a copy at least. I'd pre-ordered it a year ago and was never 100% sure I'd get mine but thankfully avoided the cancellation part of the saga. Was definitely on the edge of my seat because EVERY single friend that pre-ordered it had theirs axed, and I really didn't want to miss this one since it was THE game I really wanted this year. And I ended up pretty dang happy with it.
I've had a LOT of luck in getting people into the first AI despite them not being visual novel fans. I think the presentation and lack of the usual visual novel mechanics (abstract choices leading to routes and needing more complicated flowcharts) really played a part in this game catching the way it did. I think that it has a tone that is wholly unique in the visual novel world really helps too. There's just a lot that's easy to grab onto. The characters are fantastically written, the stories are intriguing, and the performances on both the Japanese and English side are top shelf.
These games are such an easy recommend for people wanting something a little different.
So, did Amazon actually come through for you?
You must be the only person I've come across whose order was not cancelled! 😆
@@Food4Dogs I preordered mine at GameStop actually. Even they were having cancellations for pre-orders right up until the day before the game launched, so I was never 100% sure I was getting mine until I finally got a shipping notice.
@@PollyPlushie Phew. Someone should do a PhD on gamers' nerves and anxiety! 😀
I love this channel
I enjoyed the video! I'll have to play the second game when I finally finish the first one! Having said that, after watching the scenes you showed from the second game. I did notice a pretty big spoiler pertaining to the first game. I won't say what it was, but I'll be able to confirm it once I complete the first game. But it was still a great video nonetheless!
I only show *one scene* from the 2nd game (35 seconds), taken right from the very beginning, minutes into the game.
Please note: all clips are labelled which game they're from. Also: please cite the relevant timestamp when mentioning a particular video clip.
The one clip from 2nd game is at 13:25.
There is one still screenshot at 24:44 showing the options dialogue for spoilers (no spoilers there!).
I have gone to a great deal of trouble to avoid any significant spoilers, so would be grateful if you could be more precise about any issues in this regard.
I also made it clear in the pinned note that clips from the 1st game will obviously reveal just a little bit. It's pretty much unavoidable if making a video about a narrative game. 😁
I even went to the trouble to mask out the name of the hanging corpse (white rectangle).
As a debilitating insomniac, I've fallen in love with this game. I ended up passing on this CE, but that's because I had to preorder some Monster Hunter Sunbreak stuff instead 😅
I found your channel a few weeks ago and absolutely LOVE your videos, you're so honest with your review, please continue the amazing work!
Thank you and welcome. 🙋
Would love to see you play these games. That would be incredible.
I always try to incorporate some gameplay into my videos, where possible or relevant. But I don't do complete playthroughs.
I’m so happy for you! Really hope your eyes are doing better so you can get properly stuck in. I noticed that both Robotics;Notes are on sale at the moment on the eshop. Have you had a chance to play those? I’d definitely love to get your opinion on them if so. Still making my way through Corpse Factory, I have some thoughts on it but so much depends on how it all wraps up. I’ll let you know what I think when I get to the end. It’s certainly entertaining so far.
I like R;N - not everyone does! - it's got its own weird charm. Haven't finished yet though. The DaSH expansion however is probably not worth it.
I finished this just yesterday, it’s so good!
The first game came out of nowhere for me. I watched a video about it from ValkyrieAurora, who has sadly gone inactive since then, and I was intrigued by the incredibly gruesome first murder juxtaposed with a very pleasant anime artstyle. I ended up loving the story and wishlisted the sequel the minute it was announced!
Thank you for the unboxing! Great and informative. I decided to get the first game and looked for the physical edition with no luck. I checked on the eShop for the Switch edition. Surprise and proof I’m meant to play this game, it was on sale for $7.49. I’m in NA so I’m not sure if it’s on sale in other regions. I can’t wait to play! *fires up the Switch in anticipation *
Yes, I saw others mentioning they'd picked it up in the Switch sale!
Great price. It's also discounted in other regions - I see UK for 7 pounds, EU for 8 euros, Australia for 12 dollars ... and NZ as usual is the only country that does not carry the first game on its eShop. ☹
See why I scour the globe for physical editions? 😆
