History VisualNovel / Never7

* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler: the ''entire'' cast in Izumi's route, essentially - the only exception is Izumi herself. Sure enough, that route's not canon, but it can still be jarring.]]

A port of the game to the LOVE engine(that includes the fan-translation) was [[https://vndb.org/r77051 released]] in 2020. It's still being developed, but is already fully playable.

* GoldenEnding: [[spoiler: The epilogue you get after seeing the Curé A ending twice (or just once, in the Eternal edition) could be said to be this. While it's seen right after the aforementioned ending, it doesn't really fit any one route, but rather seems to take place after an ideal (and never seen in-game) run in which Makoto solves everyone's problems. Well, except maybe for Yuka's, since this epilogue never clarifies whom he ended up with (if he ended up with anyone at all), but her issues were already the least worrisome of the entire main cast, anyway.]]

* RedHerring: [[spoiler:If one believes Izumi Curé provides the definitive answers (see SchrodingersGun below), Yuka's Route turns out to be one big one, as all the theories about what's going on in that route are disproved.]]

* KicktheDog: [[spoiler:Makoto literally does this to a puppy in Saki's route, in a misguided attempt to get her to admit to being friends with the animal.]]

This game was notable for being released in three different forms. The first release, ''Infinity'', was released for the [=PS1=], and only contained the first five routes. The second release, ''Infinity CURE'', was released for the UsefulNotes/NeoGeoPocket, and contained two routes: [[spoiler:Izumi]] Curé (the sixth and final route) and the story "Yuka Cure" (Yuka's Route from Yuka's own point of view, added into later versions of the game). The third and final release was ''[=Never7=]: The End of Infinity'' for the Dreamcast, and contained all six routes. This release was later ported to UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable.

** [[spoiler:Izumi Cure route throws into doubt whether the story even takes place in anything more than a dream world and the resolution intentionally leaves it vague by having an entire deck of cards be blanked out after everything seems resolved.]]
** Yuka's route provides a completely different explanation to what is going on than the Cure route does. Which one is actually correct?

* AnotherSideAnotherStory: Yuka Cure route is a retelling of the second half of her route from her own perspective. It's apparently available even before finishing said route, however.

* AgentScully: Okuhiko to Makoto, refusing to believe the latter's premonitions and coming up with logical explanations for why Makoto had them. [[spoiler:As it turns out, this was his purpose in the Seminar Camp, in order to make sure people didn't completely believe Makoto and to retain a sense of reality.]]

* ButtMonkey: Okuhiko at certain points of the story. [[spoiler:The whole Izumi route is about making him one giant ButtMonkey.]]

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Saki has a strong tendency to simply vanish whenever anyone else's story begins. [[spoiler:Even in the Izumi Cure route she's almost entirely absent throughout the entire story.]]

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:Haruka]], who is [[spoiler:a clone of Kurumi]], has this ''really'' bad.

* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: It turns out the main reason Makoto is such a slacker at school is because he honestly has no clue about what he's going to do with his life after college.

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Saki on her route, after believing she can no longer trust anyone. However, Makoto manages to talk her out of it in the second loop.]]
* EmotionlessGirl: Haruka borders between this and [[SugarAndIcePersonality Kuudere]]. [[spoiler:She does have emotions, but deceives herself into thinking she has none due to her inferiority complex from being a clone.]]
* FanWork: KID explicitly encouraged this with the AppendStory system (essentially FanFiction turned into Visual Novel scenarios)

* GuideDangIt: Want to get on to Kurumi's Route? Sounds easy enou- wait, what do you mean I have to talk with Izumi and not Kurumi on Day 4?

* ManlyTears: [[spoiler:Makoto in Haruka's Route, where he weeps bitterly as she's dying and after she dies, and also cries when Izumi dies in Izumi Curé.]]

* MrExposition: [[spoiler:Izumi during Izumi Curé.]]

* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Variation: [[spoiler:Yuka deeply regrets that she wasn't able to tell the boy she liked that she loved him when he said it to her with his dying breath, so she tries to go back to the past to say it.]]
* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler:Okuhiko]] specifically mentions using this trope- in reality, [[spoiler:he's very dilligent]], but doesn't want others to know that. [[spoiler:This goes even further in Izumi Curé, where it's revealed he's one of the masterminds behind the setup for the Seminar Camp.]]
** WordOfGod says Saki is this too, as she's actually quite studious (having worked hard to get into a prestigious college), but she's embarrassed to be thought that way, so she tries to hide it. It's also the reason why she wears contacts in public rather than wearing her glasses.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Kurumi is 17, a high school student, wheras both Makoto and Okuhiko assume she's in middle school when they first see her. [[spoiler:As it turns out, she's technically 20 years old, having skipped three years of her life when she time traveled as a baby.]]

* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:Haruka was one for Kurumi...at least until the latter was found.]]

* SuddenlySober: Subverted, [[spoiler:when Makoto tries to have a serious conversation at the pool and the second barbecue with Yuka, she's too drunk to take him seriously. Double subverted in Yuka Cure, where it's revealed that Yuka ''did'' sober up mid conversation with Makoto (after she almost confessed to him), but she pretended to be drunk so he would think she was joking.]]
* TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest: [[spoiler:This is Yuka's main issue, as revealed in Yuka Cure: after the death of the boy she loved, she's been too afraid to get in another relationship, as she still hasn't gotten over his death and is afraid of feeling the same pain she did when she lost him.]]

* TimeTravel: [[spoiler:Or so it seems.]]

* WhamLine: The final line of the [[spoiler:Cure A Ending]], just before the credits start, [[spoiler:implying that perhaps everything is a delusion after all.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Izumi has blue hair, while both Makoto and Saki have green hair.

* RedHerring: [[spoiler:Yuka's Route turns out to be one big one, as all the theories about what's going on in that route are {{Jossed}} in Izumi Curé.]]

This release was later ported to UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable.

** To the point where in ''Never7'', she was the ''only'' character who had no new voice acting- all of her lines in the new route reused audio from ''Infinity''.

*** A reverse ShoutOut occured in ''Memories Off Pure'': the name of the protagonist's homeroom and English teacher is "Yuka Kawashima" (there's no evidence that they're the same person, though the protagonist's description of her personality does sound similar to the Never7 Yuka).

* YouShouldKnowThisAlready: Due to ''VisualNovel/{{Ever17}}'', [[spoiler:the existence of Curé, which is carefully hidden until the last route of the game, is basically the only thing most know about the game.]]

The first game in the ''VisualNovel/{{Infinity}}'' series. Unlike every other game in the series, it only has one protagonist.

Makoto Ishihara is a college student who rarely attends his classes. As a result, after finals, he is sent, along with three other students ([[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Yuka]] [[GenkiGirl Kawashima]], [[EmotionlessGirl Haruka]] [[{{Kuudere}} Higuchi]], and [[SpoiledBrat Okuhiko]] Iida) to a "Seminar Camp" on an island far away for a week during spring break as punishment. However, Makoto has a dream where, on April 6th, a girl dies before his eyes, a bell clutched in her hand. He wakes up from the dream to find out that it's April 1st.To make things even stranger, however, Makoto begins having premonitions of future events, each one turning out correct. As he wonders just what is going on, things grow even stranger as the week goes on...

* EmotionlessGirl: Haruka borders between this and {{Kuudere}}. [[spoiler:She does have emotions, but deceives herself into thinking she has none due to her inferiority complex from being a clone.]]

* SchrodingersCat: Used as a metaphor to describe [[spoiler:how Curé Syndrome works]].

The second release, ''Infinity CURE'', was released for the NeoGeoPocket, and contained two routes: [[spoiler:Izumi]] Curé (the sixth and final route) and the story "Yuka Cure" (Yuka's Route from Yuka's own point of view, added into later versions of the game). The third and final release was ''Never7: The End of Infinity'' for the Dreamcast, and contained all six routes. This release was later ported to UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable.

The first game in the ''Infinity'' series, also consisting of ''VisualNovel/{{Ever17}}'', ''VisualNovel/{{Remember11}}'', and ''[[VisualNovel/TwelveRiven 12Riven]]''. Unlike every other game in the series, it only has one protagonist.

The third and final release was ''Never7: The End of Infinity'' for the Dreamcast, and contained all six routes. This release was later ported to PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable.

* ArcNumber: 7, though nowhere near to the extent as in [[{{Ever17}} later]] [[{{Remember11}} titles]] of the series.

* {{Retcon}}: [[spoiler:Originally, the events between Tom and Julia took place in 2014. {{Ever17}} retconned it so that they took place in 2005 instead, so as to allow Tsugumi's involvement with it.]]

* SchrodingersGun: Discussed in one of the TIPS, [[spoiler:which proposes that since reality is subjective, Curé Syndrome may not have actually existed in any of the other routes except Izumi Curé (since Makoto has never heard of the concept, and is therefore "unable to observe it"), meaning that it really could have been supernatural occurances occuring in all the other routes... [[MindScrew possibly]].]]

* YouShouldKnowThisAlready: Due to {{Ever17}}, the [[spoiler:existence of Curé, which is carefully hidden until the last route of the game, is basically the only thing most know about the game.]]

The first game in the ''Infinity'' series, also consisting of {{Ever17}}, {{Remember11}}, and [[TwelveRiven 12Riven]]. Unlike every other game in the series, it only has one protagonist.

This game provides examples of:

* ArcWords- "Bell".

* FanWork- KID explicitly encouraged this with the AppendStory system (essentially FanFiction turned into Visual Novel scenarios)

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove- [[spoiler:Yuka gives one to Makoto in her route, trying to convince him not to go up to the shrine (which led to his death in the first loop).]]
* AllJustADream- [[spoiler:The Curé B Ending turns Izumi Curé Route into one... maybe.]]

* [[spoiler:GroundhogDayLoop- Albeit a bit more orthodox than most of them, and subverted a bit in that time is still moving forward, not actually looping.]]

* [[spoiler:RealityWarper]]- [[spoiler: This is essentially what Curé Syndrome does- it replaces the real world with the delusion inside the afflicted's head.]]

* TogetherInDeath- [[spoiler:Yuka and Saki's bad endings.]]
* [[spoiler:UnreliableNarrator: While it's not obvious at first, Makoto's narration leaves out a few key events- particularly anything related to him wishing for his delusional time travel. Justified, as Makoto made himself forget he was having delusions through his Curé Syndrome.]]

* [[spoiler:[[WhatYearIsThis What Day Is This]]]]- [[spoiler:When Makoto time travels in Yuka, Kurumi, and Izumi's Routes, the first thing he usually does is ask the people around him if it's really April 1st.]]

* ABNegative - [[spoiler:When Haruka is hit by a car in her route, she needs a transfusion of B-. As it turns out, the only person with the same blood type is Kurumi, Haruka's original.]]
* AmbiguousSituation

* [[spoiler:AmnesiacLover: A variation- on Haruka, Saki, and Kurumi's Routes, when Makoto goes back in time, none of them have any memory of the prior loop, forcing Makoto to restart his relationships with them from scratch.]]

* AnotherSideAnotherStory - Yuka Cure route is a retelling of the second half of her route from her own perspective. It's apparently available even before finishing said route, however.
* ArcNumber- 7, though nowhere near to the extent as in [[{{Ever17}} later]] [[{{Remember11}} titles]] of the series.

* AgentScully- Okuhiko to Makoto, refusing to believe the latter's premonitions and coming up with logical explanations for why Makoto had them. [[spoiler:As it turns out, this was his purpose in the Seminar Camp, in order to make sure people didn't completely believe Makoto and to retain a sense of reality.]]

* AprilFoolsPlot- Okuhiko accuses Makoto of pulling one of this when he tells the group about his premonitions (which happens on April 1st).
* BrickJoke - At one point in Kurumi's route, Kurumi makes rice balls for Makoto. As it turns out, she added [[spoiler:caviar]]. A ''lot'' of [[spoiler:caviar, which she assumes Izumi won't notice the absence of]]. Several scenes later, she does.

* ButtMonkey- Okuhiko at certain points of the story. [[spoiler:The whole Izumi route is about making him one giant ButtMonkey.]]
* CallingYourAttacks- Parodied in the tennis match with Yuka, who names her serves after cocktails.
* CassandraTruth- Subverted: Makoto [[spoiler:and Yuka/Izumi on their respective routes]] decides not to tell the others [[spoiler:about the TimeTravel]] because he doubts anyone would believe him. [[spoiler:He does manage to convince Kurumi at the end of her route, but only by giving a lot of evidence from the first loop that didn't happen in the second loop.]]

* CellPhonesAreUseless- Despite it being the year 2019, ''none'' of the characters have cellphones. [[spoiler:If they did have them, the problems in Yuka's Route and Haruka's Route could have easily been solved simply by calling Kurumi.]]
* CherryBlossoms- A whole row of them on the island, which become prominent in Yuka's route.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome - Saki has a strong tendency to simply vanish whenever anyone else's story begins. [[spoiler:Even in the Izumi Cure route she's almost entirely absent throughout the entire story.]]

* ClingyMacGuffin- The bell, [[spoiler:which appears on someone's hand whenever they die.]]
* CloningBlues- [[spoiler:Haruka]], who is [[spoiler:a clone of Kurumi]], has this ''really'' bad.
* CueTheSun - [[spoiler:The end of Yuka's Route.]]
* DeadHandShot- The game starts with one.
* DespairEventHorizon- [[spoiler:This actually turns about to be the reason for the time travel: whenever one of the girls die, Makoto's despair activates his Curé Syndrome, creating a delusionary world where the girl is still alive.]]
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife- It turns out the main reason Makoto is such a slacker at school is because he honestly has no clue about what he's going to do with his life after college.
* DivingSave- [[spoiler:During the second loop in Haruka's route, if Makoto chooses to protect Saki's puppy (an action that Haruka did in the first loop, leading to her death) Haruka pushes Makoto out of the way of a car in her route, getting hit instead.]]
* [[spoiler:DrivesLikeCrazy: During the epilogue, a drunken Yuka steers the boat home. It's rather [[http://www.iaza.com/work/120916C/iaza16406257205200.png comical]].]]
* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide]]- [[spoiler:Saki on her route, after believing she can no longer trust anyone. However, Makoto manages to talk her out of it in the second loop.]]
* EmotionlessGirl- Haruka borders between this and {{Kuudere}}. [[spoiler:She does have emotions, but deceives herself into thinking she has none due to her inferiority complex from being a clone.]]

* FantasticRacism- Before the Clone Law (legalizing the creation of clones) was passed in 2010, it was common for pre-existing clones to be discriminated against. Even in 2019, when the story takes place, this still goes on- particularly Saki towards [[spoiler:Haruka]], (although this has less to do with a hatred of clones rather than [[spoiler:a somewhat tramautic event in her childhood.]])

* FirstKiss- [[spoiler:No matter what route you're on, Makoto gives Haruka her first kiss on Day 3 (albeit a chaste one on the forehead).]]

* [[spoiler:{{Gaslighting}}- Subverted- while Izumi and Okuhiko had ''intended'' to do this to Makoto (by convincing him he was having premonitions), they never actually do it as Izumi realizes that Makoto is actually having real premonitions.]]

* GoodTimesMontage- Subverted to TearJerker levels in [[spoiler:Kurumi's route, where, after Kurumi dies in the first loop, he remembers all the good and bad times he shared with Kurumi. The last memory he has? Kurumi telling him she hates him.]]

* GuideDangIt- Want to get on to Kurumi's Route? Sounds easy enou- wait, what do you mean I have to talk with Izumi and not Kurumi on Day 4?

* HeroicSacrifice- [[spoiler:Subverted in both Yuka and Haruka's routes. In Yuka's Route, Makoto attempts to protect Yuka from being crushed by debris, but because he hesitates for one second, both of them are crushed. See the DivingSave entry for Haruka's example. Played straight in Yuka's past, where the boy she liked sacrificed his life to save her and her classmates from a burning hotel.]]

* JigsawPuzzlePlot- While not as big as in later games in the series, it's still present here.
* {{Kimodameshi}}- In a graveyard.
* LoveAtFirstSight - Claimed by [[spoiler:Yuka and Izumi.]]
* LoveEpiphany- Makoto in Haruka's Route. [[spoiler:He also does at the end of the first loop in Izumi's Route... after she's already fallen to her "death".]]
* LoveTriangle- One between Makoto-Haruka-Okuhiko in Haruka's Route.
* ManlyTears- [[spoiler:Makoto in Haruka's Route, where he weeps bitterly as she's dying and after she dies, and also cries when Izumi dies in Izumi Curé.]]
* {{Meganekko}}- Saki is shown to wear glasses, though not that often.
* [[spoiler:MemoryGambit: If Izumi's theory is correct, then Makoto pulled this off in an attempt to time travel to save the girl's life without remembering the trauma of seeing the girl die, being unable to accept their death. However, he allows himself to remember a bit more until he finally remembers everything on the last loops.]]
* [[spoiler:MentalTimeTravel- Subverted: while this does appear to be what Makoto's going through in each route, the truth is actually a bit more complicated than that.]]
* [[spoiler:MindScrew- Is everything that happens in the story reality? A delusion of Makoto's? Or some combination of the two? The answer is deliberately left unanswered, and is supposed to be up to the reader's interpretation.]]
* ModestyTowel - Yuka and Makoto wear one in the onsen.
* MrExposition- [[spoiler:Izumi during Izumi Curé.]]
* MultipleChoicePast- Makoto's past can differ depending on the player's choices (such as whether he's kissed someone before, when his first love was, etc). [[spoiler:This is FridgeBrilliance when you realize that all of those choices are potentially correct due to Makoto's Curé Syndrome.]]
* NamesToKnowInAnime-

** YukiMatsuoka- Kurumi

* PoorCommunicationKills- [[spoiler:Every girl except for Haruka dies as a result from some sort of communication failure with Makoto in their routes. Haruka also dies from this, but not with Makoto- see below.]]

* PostVictoryCollapse- [[spoiler:Makoto in Haruka's Route, where, after running and biking around the entire island several times for ''five hours'' in a heavy rainstorm to search for Kurumi, finally faints after he gets Kurumi to the clinic to save Haruka's life.]]

* ThePowerOfTrust- An important theme in several routes, especially Haruka and Saki's.

* RedHerring- [[spoiler:Yuka's Route turns out to be one big one, as all the theories about what's going on in that route are {{Jossed}} in Izumi Curé.]]
* ReplacementGoldfish- [[spoiler:Haruka was one for Kurumi...at least until the latter was found.]]
* {{Retcon}}- [[spoiler:Originally, the events between Tom and Julia took place in 2014. {{Ever17}} retconned it so that they took place in 2005 instead, so as to allow Tsugumi's involvement with it.]]

* TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest- [[spoiler:This is Yuka's main issue, as revealed in Yuka Cure: after the death of the boy she loved, she's been too afraid to get in another relationship, as she still hasn't gotten over his death and is afraid of feeling the same pain she did when she lost him.]]

* YouShouldKnowThisAlready - Due to {{Ever17}}, the [[spoiler:existence of Curé, which is carefully hidden until the last route of the game, is basically the only thing most know about the game.]]

* ShoutOut- A few to the KID VisualNovel MemoriesOff:
** Yuka buys a keychain of a fat cat at one point in the game, a reference to an actual pregnant cat from MemoriesOff.
*** A reverse ShoutOut occured in MemoriesOff Pure: the name of the protagonist's homeroom and English teacher is "Yuka Kawashima" (there's no evidence that they're the same person, though the protagonist's description of her personality does sound similar to the Never7 Yuka).
** The main heroine of MemoriesOff, Yue, makes a cameo in the game as a little girl.
** Izumi's alma mater is Sumisora Academy, the high school from the game.
** Non MemoriesOff example: during the tennis match on day one, Yuka makes an ''Manga/AimForTheAce'' reference. In the English translation, this was changed to a ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'' reference.
