Seven: The Days Long Gone is an open world science-fantasy-themed role-playing video game developed by IMGN.PRO and Fool's Theory.[2] It was released on 1 December 2017,[3][4] and has been released on Steam, GOG.com and Humble.[4]
The game does not have one clear genre, with Brendon Calswell from Rock Paper Shotgun calling it a mix of "cyberpunk or technofantasy".[4] It is played from an isometric perspective.[2] The player character is a thief, and gameplay elements are reminiscent of Thief and Assassin's Creed, with stealth, assassination and rooftop parkour.[4][5] The game contains music by Miracle of Sound and Marcin Przybyłowicz, who also collaborated to provide music for the game's trailer.[6][7]
It was nominated for "Best Original Soundtrack Album" at the 16th Annual Game Audio Network Guild Awards.[8] On 26 March 2019, the game was released as Seven: Enhanced Edition on the PlayStation 4 and as a free update to the Windows version.[9] The Enhanced Edition includes the game along with its expansion pack, Drowned Past, and fixes for the original game's bugs.
