He's the mainliner for the Zero Escape series, AI: The Somnium Files, the Infinity series, Punch Line, and World's End Club. Also, he worked on Pepsiman.

Bit of both, maybe?

I typically attribute Ever17's greatness to Nakazawa more, since he was the director, but Uchikoshi is also apparently the one in charge of the best part of the game (Coco's route).

iirc he came up with the twist too. Everyone who worked on E17 deserves a medal for how well they did in such a short amount of time.

He's good. We don't have to deal in extremes here.

Putting him at either leads to expectations and assumptions.

I've only experienced Ever17 and Punch Line.

Coco's route was an unparalleled mind-fuck. The reaction to it is so reliable and everyone breaks around the same point. Punch Line not so much since I was expecting a twist.

Team You. She did nothing wrong.

and so far AI seems good but it feels scattered and out of my control and more overly horny compared to his past works
Dunno if I'm ready for horny Mizuki in the sequel.

I'm not super familiar with his work but based on what I know about him he's a better writer than game director.

This elevates him to a realm beyond godhood.

but ZTD was a real mess that was still quite fun and engaging

ZTD sucked so much compared to the other two it blows my mind.

It's taking me like 3 years to beat ZTD. Is AI better? I really liked the first 2 Nonary games

How can I play Ever17? Yall make it sound so cool. I have a PC, Switch, and PS4 btw. I think I looked into it years ago but couldnt find a way to actually play it?
It's pretty easy to acquire if you sail the seven seas. Make sure to use the Himmel patch: https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinitySeries/comments/9v6zt6/ever17_himmel_edition_released/

Make sure to consult a flowchart. The recommended ending order is Tsugumi > Sora > You > Sara > Coco. Be warned that it's just a straight visual novel; no puzzles, just text.

Ever17 is legitimately fantastic, and the twist in the final route blew my mind. How could the same person write that and Zero Time Dilemma?

ZTD is his only work i disliked because of how sloppy it is.

Ai somnium files was excellent tho.

ZTD had a budget of 2 quarters and some duct tape, an inexperienced team, and barely any time to actually make it. It's already miracle it got made at all, and it's another miracle that it's as good as it is given the circumstances.

I believe in "You First". No regrets. I would not have finished the game otherwise. It's a good route for readers that want a relaxing deep dive into science, philosophy, and kindness.

And yes, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it puzzle. Don't you dare fuck it up.

Didn't know there was a new patch. I'll miss all the "Kidere" errors.
The order I posted is officially sanctioned. At the very least, Sara should be saved for second-to-last.

I'm pretty sure I went You>Tsugumi>Sora>Sara. I made sure she was last before Coco.

Tsugumi's route pissed me off and sets up the wrong vibe.

I did You>Sara>Sora>Tsugumi. Doing Kid first isnt gonna ruin your experience.

Sora has the weakest route though, so get that out of the way whenever.

Yeah, Sora might have the worst route out of all of Infinity.
