"A niche game for a very small audience that is further reduced by the language problem. While the story is interesting, if you don&s;t find out you don&s;t appreciate it."

"Never 7: The End of Infinity still has some charm all these years later, but perhaps it hasn&s;t aged so gracefully. Messy pacing makes what would be a relaxing experience an often tedious one. Fans of classic visual novels and …"

"A relic of visual novel history, Never 7 offers a glimpse into Uchikoshi’s early work with its time-loop mechanic and sci-fi undertones. However, dated visuals, uneven writing, and a lackluster cast make it feel more like a curiosity than a …"

"Never 7: The End of Infinity isn&s;t a bad visual novel by any means, but it also isn&s;t anything too special. With most of the game being taken up by generic slice-of-life moments, it isn&s;t until the Cure routes come …"
Read original review"It&s;s great to see Never 7: The End of Infinity get a worldwide release, but playing it is a different story. It&s;s saved with good characters and a fantastic soundtrack, but the writing tries its best to drag them down."

"Never 7 - The End of Infinity is a complicated and uncomfortable reading that&s;s only worth it for those who love visual novels (or Kotaro Uchikoshi&s;s works) and has an interest in the genre&s;s history: there are good things in …"

"Never 7 – The End of Infinity is a classic that kickstarted the Infinity series and, despite some caveats, it&s;s worth checking the game out in its first official English release. Though it&s;s a shame that the translation could have …"

"It was never a masterpiece to begin with, not now, not 25 years ago, but Never7 deserved more love. It&s;s the game that started the Infinity series and gave an identity to Uchikoshi&s;s career, and despite its core flaws it&s;s …"

"Never 7 is often overshadowed by the praise heaped upon its successor, Ever 17, and is considered to be the lesser of the two. It&s;s not amazing or earth-shattering, it&s;s simply... fine. Nevertheless, it offers a charming visual novel experience …"

"Never 7, in spite of its many differences from his later titles, is still distinctly a Kotaro Uchikoshi title. Rest assured, there is a scene where someone rambles about Schrodinger’s Cat. The game’s heavier focus on romance is not an …"
