Choose your own adventure in this interactive illustrated novel
Buff Studio offers this wonderful graphic novel in which the reader's decisions will alter the course of the story. And we mean really alter: as the reader moves forward, he or she can see where they are in a flowchart.
What decision will you make?
This is not the first game that is released following a “WhatsApp format” in the Android catalog. However, it does offer something different with four very basic ingredients. It has a very straightforward interface and graphic art, as are the few animations that come out as the story goes by, but that is all you will need to fully immerse yourself in this experience in which you will flirt with death.
In this sense, remember other wonderful titles, such as The World Ends With You or the Zero Escape saga. True that it does not reach the quality and complexity of these games, but 7Days! offers a very comprehensive game in visual novel format narrated through conversations, as if we were reading a chat with a beautiful and mysterious background soundtrack.
Every decision you make changes your story.
The story depends on what you decide
The story begins when Kirell wakes up without memories in a sort of limbo. A mysterious being gives him a compass that only works when someone dies nearby and tells him that he has to complete his mission to prove that he is worthy of returning to life. He has seven days. In your adventure, you will come across other people who must also fulfill a mission that is different than Kirell's and you must decide how to interact with them.
As you read, you will face complex dilemmas. Each time you choose our path, it will fork and you will gain the favor or animosity of the other characters. In this way, the game is replayable on numerous occasions, since it has several endings and parallel stories.
The fact that the characters dream and recover memories every night is also very cool, so the story gets more and more interesting by letting readers know the motivations of each one of them. Thus, you will discover who they are, why they died, and why they want to return... if they do.
As for mechanics, every time you make a decision, you will spend a ticket. To retrieve them, you need to see ads or pay, they do not recover over time. Anyway, the tickets have a symbolic price, so if you want to enjoy this dark and gloomy story in optimal conditions, you need only a small investment. And, believe me, it's worth it.
