I really liked ever17 and thought it would be fun to play the other two similar games from KID, never7 and remember11, though it seems only never7 exits for the pc. Since I cannot read japanese, I grabbed idapro and a hex viewer, and after a few days I managed to extract the script. Now, if only someone could help translating it. Or any pointers to where to find volunteers are also welcome.
If a walkthrough exits with the english translation of the dialogs, that would be also fine, gamefaqs doesn't seem to have any.
UPDATE:
Utils to unpack and repack script.dat (with source):

- to unpack: never7dec <.dat> <dir>
- to repack (make a backup first!): never7enc <dir> <.dat>
The opening script:

The text must be entered as japanese full-width alphanumeric! (the script format is constucted so that bytes without the msb bit are interpreted as control codes, ascii will never work, quite interesting that the title is never7 too...)
The numbers you can see between {..} are:
- 0: end dialog (?)
- 1: line break
- 2: wait user input
- 3: clear
- 4: some kind of delay
- 5: new dialog + fg/bg colors
- 11: answer selection
- 12: unknown
These codes should be left alone, only line breaks need to be changed, in case the translated text is too long to fit.
