Game Description
Code_18 is a visual novel video game developed by Cyberfront and released on September 29, 2011, for the PlayStation Portable and Xbox 360, and later for Microsoft Windows. It is a reboot of the Infinity series, which also consists of the spin-off 12Riven: The Psi-Criminal of Integral and the episodes Never 7: The End of Infinity, Ever 17: The Out of Infinity, and Remember 11: The Age of Infinity. Hayato Hino, a high school student who receives audio messages from the future on his phone and finds himself in a loop where a month of his life keeps repeating itself, is the protagonist of the novel. The gameplay involves having discussions with characters to advance the plot, with dialogue choices determining the course of the plot.
Cyberfront bought the rights to the Infinity series after its previous developer, KID, closed down. The group Run & Gun wrote the game, and the band Milktub was in charge of the audio engineering. The “escape from an enclosed area” theme that had been planned by the development team to be used in a manner similar to prior Infinity games was revised owing to worries about the size of the game’s audience and was perceived as a reboot of the series. While Western media outlets were upbeat, Famitsu 360 gave it an average rating. The game’s sales were modest, with a combined total of more than 11,000 units sold across both platform versions.

Code_18 Gameplay
Code 18 is a visual novel, similar to the other games in the Infinity series, where the player advances the linear plot through conversing with characters and hearing speech. The basic gameplay involves the player character Hayato Hino exploring his school setting and engaging with five female characters with whom he can form relationships, doing away with the escape situations of earlier Infinity games. The status of Hayato’s romantic relationships, along with decisions made throughout the narrative, can change the course of events to some extent; certain decisions can result in an alternate, bad endings for characters, and the final outcome of the game depends on which characters Hayato has developed romantic relationships with.
