Never 7 is not a great game. The writing isn't particularly good and the characters often act needlessly difficult despite being older than the average VN cast. The Cure Syndrome stuff is fairly interesting but makes up a small portion of the overall story while lacking a lot of the build-up present in Uchikoshi's other works. Despite all that, between the early 2000s atmosphere, great soundtrack and small-scale setting, there's a certain charm to the game and the surprisingly short length keeps it from really being a waste of time. It's not really a VN I would recommend to anyone unless they were also a big Uchikoshi fan interested in seeing his roots but I don't regret reading it.
