RPG: Seven, The Days Long Gone

Paul Bellow · Dec 1, 2017

If someone were to ask me how I would describe Seven: The Days Long Gone, the first project from indie developers IMGN.PRO and Fool’s Theory, I would be hard pressed to give you a concise, clean cut answer. On its surface , Seven is an isometric ARPG, with some great progression and and leveling mechanics. As you dive deeper into the game you discover quickly that it also implements some pretty interesting stealth and tactical combat options. Finally after getting into the game proper you are introduced to a vast and well developed open world with immersive, mysterious story.

Stealth RPG Seven Tries To Mash Up Thief And Diablo, But It Doesn't Work

I’ve had my eye on Seven: The Days Long Gone since the moment I heard the words “isometric open-world stealth RPG from ex-Witcher developers.” It sounded like a game made just for me. Unfortunately, while Seven has a cool setting and some fun ideas, the glue that holds it all together is sloppily applied.

Seven takes place in a future where humanity has fallen from the height of technological prowess into a sort of cyberpunk slash low-fantasy depression. People still rely on technology, but they’re not the demigods their ancient forebears were. You play as a thief, Teriel, who’s not particularly concerned with any of that. But after a botched job, he gets wrapped up in a scheme involving some of the most powerful people in the world. This involves going to a prison island called Peh, heisting until his pockets bulge, and getting caught up in factional conflicts.

The game’s setting and style are undeniably cool: Think Thief, except with cyberpunk instead of steampunk and a big, strange island for you to explore. The locations range from run-down shanty towns to green valleys and dark industrial complexes, but there’s a certain sickly messiness to them all, bolstered by the spread of an in-universe disease called “tech rot.”
