[Visual Novel] Ever17 : The Out of Infinity


Ever17 : The Out of Infinity

Ever 17 is the tale of seven individuals who come to be trapped within the underwater marine theme park, LeMU, 153 feet below the surface. 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.

As the situation grows more desperate, the people trapped inside LeMU grow closer. They begin to uncover the answers to mysteries about themselves, LeMU, and the situation itself. As the end of LeMU grows nearer, so too do the mysteries and relationships forged by the situation grow deeper. Ultimately, it is up to the characters not only to survive, but to discover the truth behind LeMU and themselves as well. - Wiki

Actually, I didn't realize this game is not a H-game at all until I finished the game twice (same character), because I was enjoying the story so much that makes me forget about H-scene. I mean, most of the H-game that I play I pay attention more to the story and graphic than the H-scene (yes, that's true - if not, then I better just get the cheat code and open all the gallery rite?)

To get this game into a perfect ending was pretty challenging, because of multiple path and also sequential location that we need to decide.

The story path that I choose was Sara, I decided to choose her because looks like she got a interesting background, and it turned out to be true, I finished the game with her twice to get the perfect ending, which lead us to a new scene.

Oh I forgot to mention, this game is a mystery type game, so expecting a lot of interesting stuff happen.

This is a very good Visual novel and I think I'm going to try to finish all of the story path. Get this one, its really good.

Update (08-12-08)


Just finished Tsugumi ending (I guess its a good ending)

It is not that suprising as the Sara's ending, but it still very good. I feel Tsugumi path pretty long compared to Sara's

It is interesting to see an almost completely different side of story of the 2 ending that I've seen so far.

This is the game That I will keep playing and finish all of the story =)
So keep on eye of these article~

Update (08-16-08)

Today I finished Sora's good ending, it was really good, probably because I love Sora also haha. Well, the ending is somewhat predicable but I still love it probably because how the story told.

Definitely I'm going to continue play other path.

Update (08-18-08)

Just finished another ending, this one I'm not sure who's ending is it. I'm still trying to cross check it with the forums, but it looks like Sora's bad ending. Anyhow, the ending was pretty sad =(, and kinda inspired me to write a story base on this ending.

Update (09-03-08)

I just finished another ending. This time is You's good ending. I don't like how it turn out to be too happy ending compare to other (well, Sara's ending also pretty happy ending, but this one seems to be too perfect)

But I'm happy that I'm finally unlocked the "true ending". But before that, I like to get the You's bad ending 1st

Update (09-04-08)

Just finished You's bad ending, Its not as tragic as others but I can still feel the pain about her =(. Its a pretty predicable bad ending, but I'm glad I finished it. So now what is left is Coco's ending.


Update (09-09-08)

Finally, I finished the true ending. It was really long (probably around 3 hours of nothing but reading text). I really love how the ending turn out, but there is one thing that I really not expected is "who am I" part, plus theres a tons of explanation in the true ending. Like who is Tsugumi really is? was Coco really exist? Who is the Kid? Why the life reading detect 7 lifeforms?, Will You find out where is her parents? Who is Sara parents? Did Sora survived? What about Pipi? What happened to Takeshi?

And so on...

there's a tons of things that finally revealed.

Bottom line : Even though I like Graphic novel, but mostly I only finished one or 2 route before move to other games. But this one is totally different, it really suck me in into the story. It is truly genius of how they make what it seems to be a fragment of story into one big event that related to each other.

Overall Rating : A

Favorite Characters:

1. Tsugumi Komachi (fearless girl)

2. Coco Yagami (pyon pyon Takepyon)

3. Sora Akanegasaki (Um... perfect AI?)

4. Sara Matsunaga (Like her fun personality)

5. Yobiseiakikana Tanaka (over the top personality)
