As a puzzle game, what appears to be a very widely spread game in terms of exploration and interaction are actually boiled down to a matter of patience. Ultimately, the seven days until the game ends is something entirely controlled by a player. I named myself Dug, and I don’t know if this is an attack on my “character”…Īacing, the title of the game feels like a little bit of a misnomer. For example, the woman’s facial expressions will change slightly with some words, which can give a proper vibe of pink, blue, or another tone to help give you an idea of what’s being said, if not exactly what is said. Besides a definition, you can also add color to words if the way something comes across has a tonality to it.
Whenever you encounter a word, you can click on it (joystick and button, no touch screen) to bring up your living dictionary and give that word your own interpretation. The symbols that are spoken are a dainty set of unicode characters with some choice alterations, so everything looks both familiar and different at the same time.

The speaking style of the woman is in clipped syntax, usually one to three words, which makes a majority of your exploration focus on vocabulary and, thankfully, not on full fledged grammar points. Lizardy has done a very interesting thing with 7 Days to End With You by crafting a game that, in theory, is accessible to all people. This game is not a subtle add for Duolingo, though the murder vibes are similar. What is the purpose of all these books and plants? Why won’t she let you leave the house? And what is happening at the end of each day as your body becomes heavier and heavier?
As the woman answers questions, describes objects and escorts you about the house, the story unfolds, sometimes logically, sometimes ludicrously.

What happens next is a series of interpretations and guesses to connect what you see and read to what you believe to be correct words. The woman begins speaking and, surprise, you can’t understand a word that comes out of her mouth. In this story puzzler, you play a seemingly nameless protagonist, who awakens in a house with no memory of who they are, how they got there, or who is the woman sitting over them when they awaken. Which brings us to 7 Days to End With You, an indie title from Lizardry and published by Playism. I love my native language, but it only takes studying one other language any period of time to see how bizarre some linguistic choices were in setting foundations of grammar and spelling. It’s also won when we then ape those words from other languages, because English is a flawed stack of stolen flashcards that we just grabbed from kids during passing period in junior high, but we present them with such confidence the teacher just gives up and gives us a solid C. When you need multiple words to express a singular thought in another language, it states the importance of that idea or concept to those people. Language is, inherently, a beautiful and complex thing that makes me appreciate how truly diverse humanity can be.
