REVIEW: Ever17 finally returns to Western shores! In aโ€ฆ very different form than you may remember.
How does the 2025 remaster of Uchikoshi's sci-fi masterpiece hold up? Do its many changes sink it to the depths, or is it tenacious enough to reach the heavens?

Donate to Help Chaz Get Back What He Lost In The Palisades Fire, organized by Chaz P Hello. My name is Chaz, or if you're coming from online, you'll know me aโ€ฆ Chaz P needs your support for Help Chaz Get Back What He Lost In The Palisades Fire

It pains me to ask for this, but after reviewing my plans for the future and my current financial state, it falls on me to ask you all for help with restoring what I lost after the Palisades fire. I am not in any danger, but I have lost nearly everything I owned.

Isn't it funny they're going the "written by Kotaro Uchikoshi" route when he had no involvement with this version of Ever17.

Not that it really matters if it helps the game sell, I'd love for it to do as well as it can.

Pretty sure the Xbox release never had any TIPS so probably not

It's better this way, we don't have to suffer through what they're doing to the other two.

This thread is not meant to discourage people from buying these, but just say that MAGES. framing this as a simple remaster of Ever17 is not really the case. It's borderline a completely different game and people should be made aware of that. (7/7)

Thank you for reading.

The remake is not a BAD game, but it's upsetting that this will be the only version widely available to an English audience. If you can, I highly encourage you to play the original before looking into the new remaster, you will have a far better experience. (6/7)

The remake saps a lot of what makes Ever17 unique in the first place. A lot of the changes are trying to make it more in line with the games it later inspired, but that just makes Ever17 feel like a cheap copycat and not the massively influential title it is. (5/7)

The script is entirely rewritten by new writers with some absolutely insane (negative) story changes, not to mention so much blatant foreshadowing has been added to a lot of the twists that they're hardly surprises anymore. (4/7)

Ever17, though, is not a simple upscale of the original game. Instead, it's a port of the 2011 Xbox 360 remake, just with the 3D models replaced by the sprites from the original.

If you're wondering why this is a bad thing, the 360 remake is infamous for a good reason. (3/7)

The problems mostly concern Ever17. Never7 looks to be no more than a simple AI upscaled port, which despite the waxy look is honestly fine and about what I was expecting. (2/7)

Infinity is the series that got me into VNs, so on one hand, it's great that these will be available in English...

...But on the other, it's very important people know that these releases are NOT ideal. If you're thinking of picking these up, please read this thread.๐Ÿงต(1/7)

Just a heads up that we'll be putting out an update to the Tsui no Sora Remake patch to fix a few small issues before the end of the year.

If you happen to be playing through it, I'd greatly appreciate if you could report any typos you come across in the Discord server!

Best of luck with it! I'm sure it'll turn out great.
