The game's story is visually appealing but brief and often lacks depth, with many players finding it superficial and predictable. While it offers multiple choices that impact the outcome, the overall narrative is considered basic and uninteresting, leading some to feel misled about the game's true nature. Despite its short duration, the game is replayable for achievement hunting, but many reviewers feel it doesn't justify its price as a full experience.
“It is a visually lovely game with a thought-provoking storyline; but is brief enough to complete in less than an hour; and that included two runs to snag all the achievements.”
“7th Chance is a really nice short and sweet game with a story and multiple choices to make (that do matter).”
“The music and sound effects were chosen well, and the story makes you want to know more.”
“I think I bought this by mistake, thinking it had a real story.”
“The conflict and story behind your choices is basic and uninteresting, and the outcome is so obvious I chose the opposite option multiple times thinking I was being tricked. I understand that there is a place for shallow simulator stories like this, but if I knew what I was going to get, I wouldn't have bought it.”
“By the way, you can see where the plot is going a mile away, and it's nothing interesting or thought-provoking; you would be more entertained reading a newspaper!”

The game offers moderate replayability primarily for achievement hunters, as players can pursue additional goals after completing the story. However, the experience remains largely the same with minimal differences in each playthrough, though the fast walking speed helps alleviate any potential monotony.
“Easily replayable if you want to go achievement hunting after completing the story.”
“It has a small amount of replayability if you want to get most or all achievements, but there's very little that's different each time. At least the walking speed is fast enough that it will not seem like a chore to replay.”
