DAYS TO LIVE

7 DAYS TO LIVE is a cooperative survival horror game on Roblox developed by Middleway Studios where players must endure a full in-game week of escalating monster attacks, gathering resources, crafting equipment, and ultimately escaping via rescue helicopter. Each run lasts approximately 30 real-time minutes and is structured around a strict seven-day countdown - each night harder than the last, with Day 7 delivering the most intense monster wave before rescue arrives. Launched in May 2024, the game has grown to over 167 million visits with a 79.6% approval rating and supports both PC and console players.

The core loop alternates between two phases: daytime resource gathering and nighttime base defense. During the day, players collect wood, food, and materials from the environment, craft equipment at a workbench, and reinforce their base against the incoming wave. At night, monsters spawn and assault the player's position - crafting double-layered walls is a known defensive technique that blocks certain enemy types including flying creatures. Surviving all seven nights triggers the rescue helicopter:

• ⚔️ Monster waves - seven increasingly difficult nightly assaults with the Day 7 wave serving as the final gauntlet before rescue
• 🏠 Base building - craft walls, barriers, and fortifications using gathered materials; double-wall techniques block specific enemy types
• 💼 Resource management - maintain hunger and warmth alongside building; the 2x Resources pass doubles gather rates for faster preparation
• 🗺️ Multiple maps - the default Forest map and a second Moon Mission unlocked after completing the Forest offer distinct environments and narrative paths
• 🎭 Character classes - Scout Sniper, Maine, Agent Mike, and Lucyna offer different loadouts and roles, from long-range combat to story-driven NPC companions

The game features multiple named narrative endings across both maps - the Forest yields Meloncholy and Tranquil outcomes, while the Moon delivers its own Meloncholy conclusion. Hidden collectibles (the Wet Egg and Forgotten Egg) and story badges like Tragedy and Retirement suggest narrative depth beyond simple survival. With active development as of April 2026 and a Fandom wiki at 7-days-to-live-roblox.fandom.com, the game has a dedicated community tracking its expanding content.

7 DAYS TO LIVE sits among Roblox's best cooperative survival games, comparable to other structured countdown experiences where each night raises the stakes toward a defined conclusion.
