You can find walkthroughs at gamefaqs.com, but some of the bad endings are actually pretty interesting, so I'd suggest you only use them if you are really stuck...

WTF? I followed this

http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/dos...e/931349/43865

And I still get a bad ending?!

Spoiler for Tsugumi/Sora bad ending:

Although I got to admit, it's a sad story. You's death was touching.

[Malintex_Terek]

Follow it to the letter. Tsugumi is very fickle.

does anyone know how to get the voice files from the system configurations to work? I saved a lot of voice files from the special section of the game...but don't know how to activate them in the PC (you know, the whole "starting up the system" and "shutting the system" quotes)

LOL. Why doesn't anyone reads the game manual anyway? ROFL.

For Windows XP (retranslated from Russian, please be patient):

Go to "Control Panel" -> "Sounds & Audio Devices" -> "Sounds" tabsheet.

There's a list of system events. Just link the files you like (use preview button) and... that's all, dude.

[Fuyutski]

After having Ever 17 on my shelf for sometime, I finally dusted it down and inserted it into my PC... and wow, what a ride. Poetically tragic yet beautiful, there was so many touching scenes in the game and the music, (read: Opening Theme) was so suited.

Spoiler:

Although the concept of BW was a bit over the edge, it wasn't too over the top, and I believe they placed Hokuto's "Heavenly Dive" to counterbalance it. I mean, I can picture it:

<Insert BW explanation here.>
Player: ....huh.
<Insert Hokuto's Dive here.>
Player: Okay, just, what the hell was that?!

But anyway, great game. Don't think I'll be forgetting any of it anytime soon.

Takeshi is one funny guy. His voice always makes me crack up

I would have to disagree.
Friend of mine played through the Tsugumi path and got good ending in first play, even thought he went with Sora to that amusment park ...
:S

Spoiler for characters game rating system:

Here's how it works (little example):

In the Opening (or Introduction, when you're choosing the Shounen or Takeshi) you'll have a +1\-1 rating for the each character:

"Listen to the joke" ---> +1 for Tsugumi|You|Coco
"Listen to the staffer's explanation" ---> +1 for Sora|Sara|-1 for Coco

"It was Tanuki" ---> -1 for Tsugumi|Sara
"Never mind" ---> -1 for Sora|You

...the goal is to collect 34 (or more) points starting from the May 1st (OR from the Introduction) and 17 (or more) starting from the May 4th for the selected person (other days varies and unknown yet ). The Coco's branch is an *exception* from this "rule"... it's only requires 12 points.

After completing one of the scenario branches, the "Shortcut" menu will appear. You can select any particular day that you've already played... BUT, you'll start with the 0 values for the each character, so it will be the real challenge.

I haven't discovered all of them yet, but i'm decoding the game script now, so... who knows...

[kgptzac]

or just decode the VFB, lol, since it's more readable and only requires a very little japanese basics, don't mention the choices are in same order as of the game.

I don't think there is anything wrong with following the guide because you will have to complete all arcs sooner or later, knowing which choice "pleases" which character gives insight on the character's personality; it is especially true with Tsugumi.

The only BE with acceptable cause-effect logic would be Takeshi's, and it is very heart breaking if you get there after Coco's ending.

Objectively speaking, more than one or two wrong answers will derail someone from Tsugumi's Path and put that someone on the Bad End. It takes many more wrong answers, in the vein of five or six, to get off of Sora's.

Spoiler for game rating system. Part 2:

True. That's because Tsugumi's wrong selections will add up to -10 points. Same to the May 7th decisions - some of them can NULL all previous choices, so it's very easy to get Bad Ending (especially Sara's Bad Ending - it's only requires ONE choice at the nearely ending).

I had this error when I was finisihing coco's path :

anyone know how I can fix it ? :P

[zoomaux]

I picked this up at TRSI during their 20% off in-stock items sale. I haven't gotten a chance to look at it yet though.

Did they fix the CD replication issue, or do you still have to download the patch from Hirameki's website?

The game exe is crashed because of bug in the game script.

Say "thanks" to HIRAMEKI for THAT... for their lack of quality control...

The patch is not exists YET. However, it will be released at my site together with the russian translation in a few months (September-November of 2007th). So, please be patient.

It's by far the best bishoujo game I've ever

Yeah, and the most of russian localization studios is a kamikaze.

You know something, i have an game rating system of my own (there's an Ever17 article on my site - it's on russian, so grab a *good* translator and read, if you wish of course. It's kinda fun. ) -- 8.5 of 10.

The only minuses is a BAD OST QUALITY (MS ADPCM 22050 4-bit) and lack of CGs (i've also found that one from Coco's path was never included into the game - only the dummy picture was left).

---

There's the words (from the article) that describes my humble opinion about this Game:

"At the first day of playing i couldn't sleep. But, when i was knocked off... awaken at the morning in a cold sweat, with the only thought in my mind: "Let me outta here! I can't breathe!"."

Ever17 was even TOO real and TOO tragical for my creative mind. It's sad that i'll never feel in the same way again.

[sesq]

I've finished ever17 coco's path

Spoiler:

i didn't like ending, the thing that they are repeating the same accident from 2017 is good, sara and hokuto are tsugumi children is also good, and kid and takeshi from 2034 is also great. But after may 7th in coco's path it is miserable, blink winkel ? ech.... takeshi resurrecion at bottom of the sea ? ech... Hokuto jumping into water without waiting for submarine ??? ECH....
i liked the atmosphere of first 4 path, this music, and me forcing to play this game until end...
