7 Days to Die is an open-world survival horror game developed by The Fun Pimps. Entering Early Access in December 2013 and reaching 1.0 in June 2024, it combines first-person combat, crafting, base building, and tower defense in a procedurally generated zombie apocalypse. Every seven days, a massive Blood Moon horde attacks, forcing players to build and fortify defenses against increasingly powerful zombie waves. Between hordes, players scavenge supplies, craft weapons and tools, mine resources, and explore abandoned buildings and caves. The game features deep building mechanics with structural integrity physics, an extensive skill tree, and vehicles for traversal. Multiplayer supports cooperative and PvP modes with dedicated servers. The game has sold over 15 million copies and maintains one of the largest modding communities in the survival genre.
