Never7 - The End of Infinity (released in Playstation One as Infinity) is a Japanese renai/science fiction visual novel produced by KID, originally released on December 21, 2000 for the Dreamcast. It was ported to the Windows, PlayStation 2, and the PlayStation Portable (receiving some minor updates in that version, such as a glossary system and a remixed soundtrack). A version for Android and iOS mobile devices was also released in 2012 exclusive to Japan.[1] While the game never received an official release in English, a completed fan translation exists.
Never 7 is the first title in the Infinity series by KID. The other entries in the series are Ever 17 - The Out of Infinity, Remember 11 - The Age of Infinity, 12Riven, and Code 18, all of which (with the exception of Code 18) take place within the same universe.
PLOT:
Never7 takes place in the week of April 1-7, 2019. Makoto Ishihara, the protagonist, is a college student and truant who very rarely attends his classes. As a result, he is forced to attend a "Seminar Camp" being held on a remote island to the south in order to be allowed to pass to his next grade. At said Seminar Camp are three other students- Yuka Kawashima, the leader of the group, Haruka Higuchi, a quiet girl who is an ace student, and Okuhiko Iida, a wealthy playboy who is the heir of the "Iida Financial Group".
However, on the morning of April 1, Makoto awakens from a nightmare where he saw a girl he can't remember die, a bell in her hand. He dismisses it as a nightmare, but as the week goes on, he finds that occasionally, he has apparent premonition of the future, all of them coming true.
Depending on the player's choices, Makoto ends up getting close to one of the girls, and on April 5, the game splits off into their individual routes.
