Based on what's originally written as a short novel on the Sega Saturn magazine, this is a prequel on the events before the heat wave on the perspective of various characters similar how Nier drama CD displays stuff, not only would be great to have a visual novel on the platform that acomodates it the best but right now the game itself does not have a english translation, even if this is not translated or is a direct port from the android version having a PC version means a easier way to mod/patch text.

Ever17: The Out of Infinity
Ever17: The Out of InfinityEver 17: The Out of Infinity is a visual novel video game developed by KID. It is the second entry in the Infinity series; it is preceded by Never 7: The End of Infinity, and followed by Remember 11: The Age of Infinity, 12Riven: The Psi-Climinal of Integral, and Code_18. From VNDB: "Ever17 is the tale of seven individuals who come to be trapped 153 feet within the underwater marine theme park, LeMU. During an apparently normal day at the park, a massive accident happens, placing almost half of the facility underwater. The path to the surface and the communication lines are cut off. In addition, LeMU is under constant assault by severe water pressure, limiting time to find a means of escape to 119 hours. Escape is not the only concern, however; many questions arise as to the legitimacy of the accident and whether or not those trapped there were brought there for a purpose."
