Seven Days

Seven Days is a visual novel that mixes in suspense and the paranormal with friendship and romance. The protagonist is a male schoolboy who finds himself in the possession of a haunted disc, which eventually summons the spirits of a number of different schoolgirls - though only one of them, one named Chiyako, which can be described as the main spirit and the character central to this paranormal storyline, is human-like, the rest summoned in normally inanimate objects such as a teddy bear. The different spirits take turns spending 7 days in Chiako's body, before disappearing away, hence the name of the novel. The paranormal elements of the story mixes in all sorts of elements and plot lines of different Japanese horror stories, particularly from Ringu/The Ring, with a couple of scare jumps along the way, and a very dark back story, which, albeit the rather cute artwork of the novel, is not surprising once the background of the spirits is known. The bulk of the story is spent with the protagonist spending his days with the spirits, in a more upbeat, lighthearted, and comedic day to day narrative, with the different characters trying to make the most of their time together before the spirits one by one disappear. Though no single element of the story is exactly unique on its own, the whole story put together is. The main story is streamlined, though there are multiple choices along the way, that may lead to either a normal friendship, or a romantic outcome to - most of - each one of the individual spirits, or to one of the many quick available bad endings available throughout. There are also a number of quick action events along the way. It has great character development, though that is not even in that some characters do not get the romantic endings, and a few of the character storylines are rushed in comparison with others - including Chiyako's arcs too. One negative point of note is that the final chapter of the story can be confusing and hard to obtain without knowing the trigger. Compounding this confusion is the mention of another chapter ingame, supposedly to be added at a later moment, though nothing has been yet released yet. The artwork, as mentioned, is very cute-like, and is drawn very well. There are a good number of CGs, including a number of more suggestive ones for fan service purposes. It suits the light hearted day to day moments well, though drawings of darker overtones for the scarier, sadder, and/or serious part, would have been appreciated as well. I feel there the variety of individual character expressions is on the lower side, and sprites are not animated. The different spirits occupying Chiako's bodies during the seven days each have different colors, attire and personalities, though physically, they are the same, which does compound the lack of sprite variety of movement mentioned above. Music is of decent quality, with just enough tracks to fit in all different story parts. It is not something to come back though, and in any event there is no BGM selection to allow one to listen to the different tracks available, unfortunately. The voice acting is of ok quality, though like the music, is not 100% either. Overall, Seven Days is a solid and refreshing story well put together. It is not perfect in its execution, and the price may be a tad high for what it offers, but nevertheless I enjoyed it quite a bit. 8/10

强烈推荐一玩的催泪神作 汉化可以使用绿茶汉化组的直接覆盖steam版 本作情节设计的非常巧妙 每7天就要送别一位幽灵少女 其中Sakura线最后的情感爆发 Mari线的亲情 Nene线的依偎 Chiyako线所有伙伴出现的感动 以及所有线最后不得不分离时的伤感 配合上本作数量虽少 但极其出众的伤感背景音乐 催泪效果极佳 唯一遗憾的是DLC青梅竹马的紫线最后也没和主人公在一起 实在是有点意难平 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3308204730

这是一部不算优秀的作品，但令人感触，仿佛亲身经历过了那段时光，即便是虚假的，也不愿忘记。一位无私帮助的青梅竹马，七位性格独特鲜明但又身世悲惨渴求温暖与爱的少女们，在最后化作风铃成为了少女们存在的证明，在我的1周，游戏里不到49天内获得了无限感动，包括最后的结局，尽管紫的结局显得不是那么美好，但却是紫自身的愿望。“因为在别的可能性中，我们或许已经走到一起了”(什么败犬我才不认！！！)

My ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ heart. My heart is in pieces. I... This game was the first ever to make me genuinely cry for something in a game. I've never done that before. Every chapter, every possibility I saw. Heart rended, shattered, fractured. I want to see more from this story. I want to see everyone interact again. And yet I can't. As much as I wish for it, their story is told. Everyone has their story told, everyone gets a conclusion that’s happy. Even if it took a while for one of them to get full closure. This story both fulfilled me and left me empty. I want so much more. I want to see so much more. But, if they're happy, who am I to argue against that? I can live with it. LIFE0, if you guys somehow read this, keep it up. You guys have made peak fiction. I hope Dreamin' Her is eventually officially translated. I want to see what you guys have cooked up.

[h1] ≪まず初め≫ [/h1] ☆自力で全実績解除したので、めっちゃ眠い中、ようやく感想を書きます。日本語おかしい所あると思います（朝3時すぎ） ☆分かりにくい実績の表記とネタバレは最後にかきます。 ☆初回クリア時間は7時間〜8時間。 ☆レビュー時は13.2時間　残りは全部実績とかでした。（エピソード含めて全√を4,5週しました。つかれた。） [h1] ≪シナリオ≫ [/h1] ☆リングと同じで呪いのビデオを観て呪われた主人公。その幽霊さん（千夜子 - ちやこ）の中には7人もいて49日でこの世を離れちゃう。1人7日間で残された時間、やりたかった事を成し遂げるお話。 [h1] ≪感想≫ [/h1] 今作はルートが決まっているので特に考える必要はありません。 最初は「サクラさん」になります。 他の子も亡くなっている為、重いお話があり、考えさせられる言葉や過去がありしんみりしちゃう。 黄色の髪の「コトハさん」から結構話が短いのがちょっと悲しい。 7日というか3日くらいに感じるレベル。個人的には緑色の髪の「マリさん」で涙腺きました。 この価格で結構シナリオも長く非常にのめり込めました。文章の癖も変な表現もなく、セリフが多いので分かりやすい。 「QTE」が突然入るのを知らず、いきなり出てBADとかもあるのでこれいるのか謎（とあるシーンではいるとは思うけど。。） ここからネタバレと実績についてお話しよかな。 [h1] ≪ネタバレ注意≫ [/h1] [spoiler] 全員をクリアしても右にロックがかかった状態でした。[/spoiler] [spoiler]「零ルート」を解放する必要があります。条件は千夜子さん以外の全員をノーマルでクリアする必要があります。これがかなり苦労しました。[/spoiler] [spoiler] ちなみにハッピーエンドみたいになると章選択の時にハートマークがつきます。私はメインヒロイン以外ハートマークがついてました。[/spoiler] [spoiler] ........で、この√は真ED。しかし、いっきにSFみたいになって「別の世界」みたいな表現が多く頭がちょっと混乱するのと同時に微妙だった。話はいいんだよ？全体でみればね？ただ、なんか違うが増えた。。[/spoiler] [spoiler] わかりにくくなっちゃったの。そこが残念かな。それにシナリオの時間が少なすぎると思う。[/spoiler] [spoiler] 進行の絡みでキスをみんなとするのもうーーーんみたいな。[/spoiler] [h1] ≪私が苦労したり探した実績≫ [/h1] [spoiler] ①　☆GHOST devour[/spoiler] [spoiler] this ghost has a real appetle[/spoiler] [spoiler] 食欲旺盛なので誰なのかは分かるよね？　その子をプレイしてると「飛行機雲をみて躓くシーン」があるのでそれ全部スルーしたり否定しよう。ちょっとホラー演出こわかった/spoiler] [spoiler] ②　Demon Lord　　[/spoiler] [spoiler]Defeated the Demon Lord without skipping battles.[/spoiler] [spoiler]魔王を＂戦闘スキップ＂せずに撃破。という内容。マリ編で戦闘。[/spoiler] [spoiler]データは共有されるので序盤にセーブして何度も倒して経験値を稼いだ。魔王が結構強いので何度も全滅した。コツとしては主人公は攻撃しマリは回復にした方が良い。しばらく攻撃をすると主人公を操作しマリ＝プレイヤーを攻撃してきます。適度にセーブを推薦。 ちなみに魔王は３回死んでも復活し大変だ。 [spoiler] [spoiler] ③　Am I Dreaming?[/spoiler] [spoiler]Chose the most logical way to ascertain reality.[/spoiler] [spoiler]これが最後に残った実績。「私は夢を見ているのだろうか？現実を確かめる最も論理的な方法を選ぶ[/spoiler] [spoiler] ホントに意味がわからずひたすら個別に周回。しかし実際は紫ちゃんにパンツの意色を聞く。選択肢を選ぶだけでした。[/spoiler] いろいろ、大変だったけど全実績取得したり ひさしぶりに文章を呼んで笑って泣いて 素晴らしい作品でした。ありがとう。

果然，青梅竹马就是用来迫害的🤣

This game made me cry. All 7 of these girls deserved a better life than they got, but I'm glad I was able to give them a good week before they passed on fully.

Seven days was an amazing read, truly a game which makes you appreciate life itself. I love all the girls they are all endearing and they all shone so bright. I highly recommend you read it yourself and appreciate the girls for yourself.

This game is an absolute masterpiece. I loved every bit of it. Mari's week was the biggest highlight for me though. If you're a fan of Clannad, Rewrite and Steins;Gate then give this a chance. I'll be seeing what else this company has developed for certain.

ぜひプレイすることを強くお勧めします。とても面白かったです。
