AI Somnium Files Psyncing In the Vain Walkthrough

Like most of the other Somnium puzzles in this game, Psyncing in the Vain also has two solutions, and they lead to two very different narrative branches in the story. To get the true ending of the game, you’ll need to explore every single story thread anyway, so we’ve got both solutions here.

First Solution: Unlocks the gumAI path

  1. Examine the CRT TV and spin the dial

  2. Choke the torso

  3. Examine the TV and turn the dial

  4. Push the shelf

  5. Throw the iron ball

  6. Examine the TV and spin the dial

  7. Examine the book and rip it

  8. Open the locker

Second Solution: Unlocks the rihAI Path

  1. Hit the CRT TV
  2. Examine the shelf and investigate the bottle
  3. Go to the operating table and perform surgery
  4. Open the locker
  5. Throw the knife
  6. Look inside the oil drum
  7. Shoot the gun

Whereas the gumAI path gives you information and more details pertaining to the overall lore of the game and events that happened in the past, the rihAI path gives you more immediate assistance to the case you’re actually trying to solve. Both paths are critical to understanding the story, so it’s definitely recommended that you check out both solutions at some point.

This is definitely one of the trickier mid-game puzzle rooms in AI Somnium Files, so make sure to use some of your time-saving items whenever possible.

That’s all you need to know about how to solve the Psyncing in the Vain puzzle room in AI Somnium Files. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more tips and information on the game.
