Game summary

Ever 17: The Out of Infinity is a visual novel video game developed by KID. It is the second entry in the Infinity series; it is preceded by Never 7: The End of Infinity, and followed by Remember 11: The Age of Infinity, 12Riven: The Psi-Climinal of Integral, and Code_18. From VNDB: "Ever17 is the tale of seven individuals who come to be trapped 153 feet within the underwater marine theme park, LeMU. During an apparently normal day at the park, a massive accident happens, placing almost half of the facility underwater. The path to the surface and the communication lines are cut off. In addition, LeMU is under constant assault by severe water pressure, limiting time to find a means of escape to 119 hours. Escape is not the only concern, however; many questions arise as to the legitimacy of the accident and whether or not those trapped there were brought there for a purpose."
First released: Aug 2002

🕹 Editor's notes

Ever 17 is a love adventure game that has a very stimulating plot. The game’s adventure experience is very underrated as most people like to focus more on female interactions. The story is the central part of Ever 17, as there is not much gameplay involved here.

The game is a visual novel developed in the Japanese style. It is not the typical romance video game where you go for straight-up dating. It uses true life events, people, theories, etc., to create a great sense of combination.

Ever 17 was released on the PC, and that is where you will get the best experience.

Plot

The storyline involves a group of young kids trapped in a theme park on an island in Japan. As they get separated, one of them, Takeshi, searches for his friends around the theme park.

As he goes around, he meets another person named Kid. These two children are confronted by strange characters in the midst of all the confusion. There is a point where Kid passes out, and Takeshi helps bring him to the infirmary to rest. 

After that, Takeshi leaves Kid and goes on in search of his friends around the theme park. He meets a girl with dark hair who is annoyed by Takeshi’s presence. Suddenly, Takeshi also blacks out, and you get to choose whether you want to play as Takeshi or Kid.

Gameplay

The gameplay depends on which role you choose, as specific characters have longer interaction periods. Ever 17 has eleven endings, so if you choose Takeshi, you will have longer interactions with Tsugumi.

The other choice is to play a Kid and has no interactions with Tsugumi, except in the case of You. The more you get into the game, the more the storyline will unfold in this game.
