7 Days a Skeptic

About

7 Days a Skeptic is a point-and-click adventure set aboard a run-down spaceship exploring a distant galaxy. You play as part of a six-person crew tasked with mapping space when you stumble upon a mysterious metal locker. Bringing it onboard kicks off a series of strange events, forcing you to solve puzzles, investigate clues, and piece together what’s happening as the crew’s situation grows more dire. The game leans into classic adventure tropes with a focus on dialogue choices and environmental exploration, all while a slow-burning mystery unfolds. Despite its age, the game’s eerie atmosphere and sharp writing stand out. It’s a brisk experience, wrapping up in around four to five hours, with puzzles that mix logic and humor. Community reviews on sites like Metacritic average around 7.5/10, praising its storytelling but noting dated graphics. While not as ambitious as modern titles, it remains a cult favorite for fans of old-school point-and-clicks with a sci-fi twist.
