Ranked from 9 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
**Seven Days** perfectly embodies the "Loop" theme through its cyclical gameplay structure: 🔄 **Endless Night Cycle**: Each stage repeats the same terrifying pattern - investigate, photograph, survive, and escape to the next level 🔄 **Repetitive Horror**: The same types of missions (Missing, New, Horror) loop throughout the game, creating familiar yet unpredictable encounters 🔄 **Survival Loop**: Failed attempts restart the cycle, trapping you in an endless nightmare until you master each stage 🔄 **Seven Days, Infinite Fear**: While there are seven days, the terror loops indefinitely in your memory

(Optional) Please credit all assets you've used

Hey a fellow UE game!

I really like the atmosphere, I know the assets are from Fab (terrible name, give me UE marketplace back) but using them well is a big part of creating the game and I believe that the assets are very well used here. I really like the vibe, which I think is crucial in this type of game, makes me think of something like Resident Evil 7 or 8, with maybe a little bit of Outlast (because of the camera mechanic probably :D).

I was thinking myself of creating a anomaly-type horror game for this theme, but I was scared (pun not intended) that I won't be able to pull it off, Seven Days makes me think that maybe I should've also gone that route, because it is possible to exectue it well.

Glad I could play the game!

It is sad to see it having so little ratings so I hope I can help you get over the median by tossing mine in.

Cheers!

Amazing game! The atmosphere was really heavy and stunning from start to finish. It took me a moment to understand what I was even supposed to do in each stage, but that aside the game was a blast!

Keep up the good work!

(also, I hate to be the "begging and advertising" type but could you rate my game too? Judging by what you made here you should enjoy it)

Nice eerie atmosphere, perfect for a horror game.
Sadly the gameplay/transitions are very slow, which makes it frustrating when you make a mistake and have to restart all over again.
The art is pretty nice.

Thanks a lot for the honest feedback — I really appreciate it!

I'm glad you enjoyed the eerie atmosphere and the art. And you're absolutely right about the slow transitions and the frustration of restarting — that's something I’ll definitely keep in mind and work on improving for future versions or projects. Thanks again for playing and taking the time to share your thoughts! 👻

I really like the artistic style you used in the video game. It seems that you created it with a lot of love. A great video game.

Thank you so much! That truly means a lot. I poured my heart into creating this game, so I’m really happy to hear that the artistic style and overall feel came through. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Wow, it's an Unreal Engine game? I'm really looking forward to it!
