Okay, I finished this one and I am ready to review it.

Tonight I am reviewing 7 Days a Skeptic, which is the second game is what is now called the DeFoe Saga. this series of games contains 4 games and spans sevral time periods. starting with 5 days a stranger which is in the late 90's and jumps nearly 200 years later and then start to back step till nearly five years after 5 years a strange as far as I can tell. A sort of backwards way of telling a story but i game for it...

While the story is kinda sketchy, I also have the gift of playing these games after the whole series is released, thus granting me the knowledge that this game will be explain later on.

this game is set nearly 200 years (if not 200+ years in the future when a strange artifact is picked up by a ship in deep space lightyears away from earth.)

The principle Surviving cast of 5 Days A Stranger do not make an appearance due to the fact they are long dead by this point.

While Like the story and some of the scenery art was lacking in a few places, there is a marked improvement in the GUI and Interface which made this game actually enjoyable. While not as solid in my opinion as 5 days this was a good title. and sort of developing the game engine it seems as hinted to in my last review on this series, I have to admit for one guy making this game, it sure is a rather good one if not a little short.

It really takes me back to those SCUMM engine adventure games like "The Dig" and "Full Throttle" from LucasArts or like "Under a Killing Mood" from Access Software. These games are just about Logical thinking, investigative reasoning, maybe a bit of puzzle solving and paying attention to what is going on in the story. You almost like a detective trying to crack a case, with what ever information you can get.

I give this title a 7 out of 10. it's good but not as good as the first game directly before this one. Tomorrow I'll review the third game in the DeFoe Saga title "Triby Notes" Which returns us back to at least one of the main characters in the starting game 5 Days A Stranger.
