Story

7 days to die

The world has been reduced to rubble and ruin in the wake of a near future third world war. Something, nobody knows what, has caused the dead to reanimate and once again walk the earth acting with a hive mind mentality.
The player takes control of a survivor of the catastrophe living in Navezgane County, Arizona.

Gameplay

7 days to die 2

7 Days to Die will eventually spawn the player into a randomly generated word inhabited by the undead with the sole objective of survival in mind. This can be accomplished through a variety of means but key to your survival is adhering to the games structure of exploration, location defence and zombie slaying.

As time passes in the game world, the types of zombie that you encounter will grow stronger and more vicious in nature. To counter this, the player is given access to a suit of crafting abilities that allows the creation of defences and weapons. Caution must be taken when creating housing for your character however, the voxel based world has rudimentary physics that requires buildings to have the proper supports or else it will collapse.

Surviving the night isn’t the players only struggle though. The player needs to constantly feed their character and drink a steady supply of water, lest they die of thirst or starvation. This, coupled with weapon and equipment degradation adds to the threat.

Players can engage in multiplayer through player hosted servers, this allows them to create and interact with other player worlds. The currently supported modes of play are Horde, Survival and Creative.

Characters
