7 Days is a Visual Novel interactive text adventure game and its story can get you hooked, but there are some things that might push you away.
In this article we will talk about both good and bad sides of Loop so you can decide if this is the right game for you.
PROS
1. Your decisions matter.
Every time something happens in the game you can have 2 options that you can pick from. And those decisions can either directly influence the gameplay and plot or can change other characters attitude towards you, which will have a long-term consequences.

2. High replayability
You can have different start options and several endings. Moreover there is a pretty big timeline with story options diagram. So you can either start a fresh run and try to play it differently to see different events or select a day and dialogue to start with and continue from there.

3. One run takes about 1-2 hours.
That means that you can go through one run from start to finish in one go and feel all the emotions that comes with it. No time to get bored and you wont forget what happened few days ago. Its just perfect.

CONS
1. Dialogue speed
There are 2 things about it. 1st is it goes by automatically until you get to the decision point. You cant stop it and it can ruin immersion if you didnt managed to read something in time or got distracted.
2d is the fact that skipping dialogue isnt fast enough. In case if you are replaying a chapter and want to go to the specific points you want to skip dialogue as fast as possible, but it isnt an option.

2. Overall game length.
Even though getting through the game in 1 hour is good and you can replay it about 3-4 times, after that it becomes not as fun, since you will start getting same sequences, that you cant skip fast enough. So either having more story branches, endings or something like that might help with the game life length.

Verdict. Is 7 Days Good?
Yes!
Its a great visual novel with a mystic coating to it. Stories are interesting and it left me curious to explore other options to open up all endings. Even for someone who doesnt play visual novels too often 7 Days managed to hook me for a while and its a good sign.

7Days is far from the best-written story-heavy visual novel I've ever played, but there is something strangely compelling about it. I played as an amnesiac girl named Kirell who has died under mysterious circumstances. She has a chance to be resurrected and get back to life, but she only has seven days to do so and has to contend with a bunch of other recent dead souls. This intriguing tale is told in text message style, with the player making choices in how Kirell responds to the various freaks and weirdos she encounters in the afterlife. Every once in a while I was given a glimpse of a nice animated scene, but for the most part, there's not much in the way of visuals here.

To Be or not to Be. 7 Days Review
7 Days is a visual novel where your decisions will have direct outcome on the story. Find your way out of the post-mortem oblivion and get resurrected back into a normal life. Or make the wrong choice and wander in the Abyss forever. I will try to make a spoiler-free (or very mild spoilers) review for the game, since its all about the story, so you can read without worrying. Gameplay So you died. And you have a chance to go back. You will have 7 days and specific task to complete. Sound pretty simple, but you will have to make hard choices along the way.
