Steam artwork — 7 Days to Die
Quick read

7 Days to Die is a voxel zombie sandbox whose week ends in a horde night. You mine, you wall, you hope the seventh dusk finds the concrete finished.

What kind of game is it?

Base-building against a calendar of undead. You dig, you craft, you share the wall if the group is on. The seventh night is the product.

Who is it for?

For players who crave digging a base before the seventh night's horde arrives.
