The story of "Seven Days" is a compelling blend of lighthearted moments and dark themes, centered around a male schoolboy who interacts with spirits of schoolgirls summoned by a haunted disc. While the narrative features strong character development and emotional depth, some players noted inconsistencies in the flow and pacing, particularly in the endings. Overall, the game is praised for its unique premise, beautiful visuals, and the poignant exploration of life and death, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of visual novels.
- “The paranormal elements of the story mix 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 backstory, which, albeit the rather cute artwork of the novel, is not surprising once the background of the spirits is known.”
- “By the time that they have to leave, I legitimately cried because of how well the story is written.”
- “Seven Days has plenty of tear-jerking moments, especially when you start getting to the core of the story, but it also has some very sweet moments.”
- “This story both fulfilled me and left me empty.”
- “One negative point of note is that the final chapter of the story can be confusing and hard to obtain without knowing the trigger.”
- “So, for example, I achieved a good ending with one of the girls and the main character falls in love with her, but once the chapter ends and you move on to the next one, the story just resets the ending of the last chapter to normal, as if nothing ever happened between the main character and the last girl.”
