The game is a walking simulator that challenges players to remember the placement of furniture and objects across repeated trips through a building. A mysterious man asks questions about the layout; correct answers advance the day, wrong answers send the player back. Furniture is randomized each run, with details like toilet paper quantity or bag position changing. Horror elements include corpses, one-eyed monsters, and jump scares. The 3D pixel art style is intentionally blurry to heighten fear. The game is developed by Tokyo studio Mankind Games in collaboration with Italian creator Andrea Tarondo, known for the short psychological adventure Looking Up I See Only A Ceiling. A demo is available on Steam, and the full release is scheduled for July 2026.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Mankind Games pairs an Italian solo dev with a Tokyo studio for \"7 Days To Think About It.\" The collaboration bridges indie scenes across continents.","twitterPost":"Mankind Games and silver978 co-develop a walking sim that punishes wrong furniture recall with time reversal.
