Note: For track 27, “dimention” is spelled this way in the packaging, and is a typo of the publishers, not us. This typo is fixed in the Never7 Sound Collection released three years later.
Who here is a fan of Kid’s Infinity series of digital novels besides me? Well, series fans are most aware of the “numerical” titles of the games Never7, Ever17, and Remember11. However, before Never7 was released in its most recognizable form on the Dreamcast, it was a PS One game popularized with the simple title “Infinity.” I do not know the full extent of the differences between the games; I conjecture that the Dreamcast version may have had some added content.
The soundtracks are essentially the same except for a few things: One difference is that the Infinity soundtrack features a handful of drama tracks not present in the Never7 soundtrack; in contrast, there are a few music tracks on the Never7 soundtrack that aren’t on the Infinity soundtrack. The other difference is that the Infinity soundtrack features a completely different opening theme than Never7. After A/B-ing both of these opening themes, I personally like the Infinity opening song much better than Never7‘s.
Note that as of the time this review was written, both “infinity” and the “Never7 Sound Collection” were available at play-asia.com. It is reasonable to believe that among the two, the first to become obscure is this one. So for you completionists, now may be the best time to pick up the soundtrack to the game that started off Kid’s Infinity series.
