Infinity is a series of visual novel video games mainly developed by KID. The first game in the series, Never 7: The End of Infinity, was originally released for PlayStation in 2000, and was later ported to other platforms. Since then, four more games have been developed, as well as a remake of the second game. The first three games were directed by Takumi Nakazawa, and the first four were planned and written by Kotaro Uchikoshi and composed for by Takeshi Abo. The fifth was written by the otome writing group Run & Gun, and featured sound production by the band Milktub. Alongside Memories Off, Infinity was KID's flagship series.
Initially, the series focused on romance with a light use of science fiction themes; as the science fiction themes were positively received by reviewers, the series gradually moved away from the romance themes, with the third game focusing entirely on science fiction. Starting with the second game, the series has featured the theme of escaping from an enclosed space, which was used by the development team as a way of embodying humanity's instinctive desires. During the development of the fourth game, KID filed for bankruptcy; their assets were acquired by the company Cyberfront, which finished development of the fourth game and developed a fifth.
The series consists of five video games. In Japan, the series has been published by KID,Success, and Cyberfront. In North America, the second game was localized and published by Hirameki International; this is the only game in the series to have been released in English.
Other media based on the series has been made. Ever 17 has been adapted into a manga, and Remember 11 has received a novelization in two parts. A promotional mobile game based on Code_18 was published prior to the release of Code_18.Drama CDs based on Ever 17, Remember 11, and Code_18 have been made.
