7 Days to Die is The Fun Pimps' post-zombie-apocalypse survival, base-building, and crafting game. It combines RPG elements (leveling up, skill trees), survival horror (zombie threat, resource scarcity), tower defense (defending your base against recurring nighttime 'blood moon' attacks), and open-world exploration. Players fight against increasingly dangerous zombie hordes on procedurally generated or hand-crafted maps, in a fully destructible/buildable voxel-based world. The 'blood moon' night occurring every 7 days forms the game's most tense and strategic moments.
