3	''Infinity'' is a VisualNovel series originally developed by KID, and later by Cyberfront after KID filed for bankruptcy during the development of ''12Riven''. The ''Infinity'' series was considered KID's flagship title, alongside ''VisualNovel/MemoriesOff''.
4
5	The games in the series are:
6
7	* ''VisualNovel/Never7: The End of Infinity'' (2000)
8	* ''VisualNovel/Ever17: Out of Infinity'' (2002)
9	* ''VisualNovel/Remember11: The Age of Infinity'' (2004)
10	* ''VisualNovel/TwelveRiven: The Psi-Climinal of Integral'' (2008) (intended to be the beginning of the ''Integral'' spin-off series, but it [[CutShort never materialized further than this]])
11	* ''VisualNovel/Code18'' (2011) (first work developed completely without any input from the original KID staff)
12
13	The series is a ThematicSeries where no two works share characters or story elements. The only consistent theme is science fiction and varying levels of involvement of TimeTravel. Outside of that, most of the games featured multiple protagonists with multiple perspectives and MindScrew {{Jigsaw Puzzle Plot}}s. Many of these themes can be traced to writer Creator/KotaroUchikoshi, who wrote the first four games. After ''12Riven'', Kotaro Uchikoshi went to Chunsoft and directed and wrote the ''VisualNovel/ZeroEscape'' series, where many of the story themes from his works in the series can be found, and can be considered a SpiritualSuccessor of a sort.
14
15	Another personality significant to the series is Takumi Nakazawa, director of the first three games. After leaving KID, Takumi Nakazawa went on to create the company Regista and direct and write the visual novels ''VisualNovel/InputOutput'' and ''VisualNovel/RootDoubleBeforeCrimeAfterDays''. All of the said works also had similar themes with the ''Infinity'' series.
16
17	The series is also distantly related to the ''VisualNovel/ScienceAdventureSeries'' of ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' fame, as many core members of its dev studio, 5pb. (now MAGES), are former KID staff, including composer Takeshi Abo and writer Naotaka Hayashi.
