If you happen to know the puzzle solutions ahead of time you can skip the puzzle and enter the solution the dialogue changes so that the player character is making a blind guess, and their partner is left bewildered by the guess working. Several Somniums have locks blocked by passwords revealed by solving puzzles.answering with the correct character's last name when the question specifies their first name). He sometimes even gives you a second chance to answer the question if your guess was close (i.e. During an early fourth wall-breaking quiz to determine whether the player can handle spoilers from the first game, the host will have some unique dialogue for answering specific names from the first game.AI: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative:.Compare The Producer Thinks of Everything, where the creators of a TV show seem to have planned out very, very far ahead, Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay, when the developers think about this, but the player doesn't and No Fair Cheating, where the dev team installs ways to punish people for trying to achieve goals unfairly (can overlap if they think of the clever cheats too). See also Easter Egg, Crazy-Prepared, Artificial Brilliance, and Genius Programming. It takes thought and effort to find out that the dev team really is one step ahead for this trope to come into effect, when they think about details and events they wouldn't have been expected to.
Take note: It's not just about specific reactions where they could've just put a generic one, situations you stumble into randomly, or Easter Eggs found in far away places. It can also be trying out a vast number of tricks and item combinations and find that each one is accounted for in the game code. This is where you're not supposed to be, or any place it would take an unreasonable effort to reach. This is where you go out of your way to get around the limitations of the game, somehow break it, or find other inconsistencies, but once you get there, you find that the dev team has already thought of that possibility. Only a brave few dare try and respond wittily and internally-consistently to absolutely everything a player could try. Other games never realise in time the full scope of the Combinatorial Explosion and break like a fragile twig the first time a creative player gets a grip on them. Some games keep a very tight rein on the player's capacities, which can work quite well, as long as the player never tries something that makes them realise just how hard the game is trying to prevent them from going off the script.
