7 Days to Die is an open-world, first-person, survival shooter that tasks you with building yourself a safe place to survive the apocalypse; along the way, you’ll need to learn how to craft using a forge to upgrade and improve tools and weapons. As you play and the game gets harder, your predicament will become clear. The scraps of wood and metal you find around are good enough to get started, but won’t keep you safe from zombies forever.
