Ever17, the most well-known part of the series.
Infinity is a Visual Novel 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 Memories Off.

The games in the series are:

The series is a Thematic Series where no two works share characters or story elements. The only consistent theme is science fiction and varying levels of involvement of Time Travel. Outside of that, most of the games featured multiple protagonists with multiple perspectives and Mind Screw Jigsaw Puzzle Plots. Many of these themes can be traced to writer Kotaro Uchikoshi, who wrote the first four games. After 12Riven, Kotaro Uchikoshi went to Chunsoft and directed and wrote the Zero Escape series, where many of the story themes from his works in the series can be found, and can be considered a Spiritual Successor of a sort.

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 Input Output and Root Double: Before Crime * After Days. All of the said works also had similar themes with the Infinity series.

The series is also distantly related to the Science Adventure Series of Steins;Gate fame, as many core members of its dev studio, 5pb. (now MAGES), are former KID staff, including composer Takeshi Abo and writer Naotaka Hayashi.

Additionally, a possible remake of the Infinity series was also teased by MAGES.
