​7 Days To Think About It - After five non-stop years of studies and work, you finally get an invite from friends to hang out, but then spend the next seven days overthinking whether to go or not in this psychological horror title.

This plays as a spot-the-difference title inside your own house, where the furniture randomises each round and you have to memorise the rooms to answer Yes or No questions about what changed, all while the horror elements creep in beneath the surface.

• A house with randomised furniture, memorise what you see and answer a Yes or No question each round
• Atmospheric 3D aesthetic with an eerie, retro vibe
• Three endings to discover, plus two unlockable extra game modes
• An endgame Secret Story for an extra layer of replay value

​7 Days To Think About It is set to launch on Steam on July 16, 2026, so try the demo now and wishlist the game.
