The protagonist of the game wakes up in a bed having lost their memory. In front of them is a person they do not know who speaks to them once they notices they\u2019re awake. However, the protagonist is unable to understand what they are saying. The same goes for the player, because the text representing the person\u2019s speech is made up of a fictional alphabet. The game\u2019s story shows the 7 days this character spends with the mysterious character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players act as an observer trying to understand the game\u2019s world through the perspective of the protagonist. While the protagonist has lost their memory, they are able to think clearly and do know what the objects around them are used for. They ultimately just can\u2019t understand the language. Players will try to decipher the story while guessing at the meaning of the words the mysterious character says.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221110-226180-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>But even if you don\u2019t know a word, the meaning should stay consistent, so determining the meaning of words as you read the story adds a sense of puzzle solving to the gameplay. Players will carry around a vocabulary list of words in the strange language and can fill in definitions as they go. When players write in their guesses, those guesses will be displayed over the corresponding words while playing. By doing this, players will be able to guess at what the woman is saying, and the story being stitched together. The story itself and the game\u2019s ending also change depending on how players interpret words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>7 Days to End with You<\/em> first released on Google Play and the Apps Store in January of this year, and a Steam version followed in February.
