'7 Days a Skeptic' by Yahtzee

[R4L]

Wow... the ending was a big surprise(? if it isn't spelled right, i don't care) but I loved it and I thought that this was better than 5 days a stranger. I also heard about the secret scene and would like to see it. Maybe someone knows...

[viktor]

since I came to this forum after yatzee left (well probably) I dont know witch games he actualy made.
Could someone give me some titels.
I already know about 5 days a stranger and his newest seven days a skeptic.
Pretty please with sugar lumps on top 

[Jokester]

ok, Ive finished the game, but i was just looking through the walkthrough and this "lost scene" intrigues me.  Whats the date that i need to be set to???

Also, Is it at the very end of the game, or do i need to start a new one to see it

Check out Yahtzee's "Game" page over at his site:

You'll find his games listed there.

cool. Thanks

I liked this game, though I enjoyed 5 days more. I think the uneasy mood is very well set, and is the real quality of the game.

Just finished it and I must say that I loved it. Besides HHH it is the only AGS game that I was unable to stop playing. I never completed 5 Days, but I'm definately picking it up again... har, I never got through day 1.

The interface in this game slapped the cat's ass. I played a bit of the first one yesterday and it was hard to get used to it again.

Yahtzee did an extremely good job on graphics aswell as the storyline, but I also love the animation. I really enjoyed every aspect of this game. I'm looking forward to any more of his games and any future installments of these...though I think is highly unlikely .. a prequel would be excellent

I JUST WANTED TO GO INTO SPACE!!

That was "Jason X" all over again. Still pretty awesome, though.

[Cluey]

He could do a prequel, or if the idol was

Spoiler

disintergrated in the ships exhaust into tiny atoms then wouldn't the very air you breathe be John de Foe, so he could do a sequel where the atoms travel through a black hole, and endup at this planet, everyone is breathing the air except a robot named STEVE, and he has to stop the madness!!
9 DAYS A ROBOT!!!
I LOVE IT!! :

[Kinoko]

Shouldn't that be '9 Days a Steve' to continue with the "number Days a S-word" formulae?

[edmundito]

9 Days a Stripper is the next sequel.

It takes place in a strip bar, where things are about to get really weird. Then a man by the name of Trilby comes to investigate.

[Pesty]

What I'd like to see is aliens! 9 Days a S...s...some alien that starts with an s.

[mätzyboy]

space creature perhaps?

[Mephistophilis]

Sarien! starring Roger "The Welder" Wilco!

[auhsor]

Now that would be awesome.

[Sam.]

just to be geeky, i think the next game should be 11 days a "something" becaus i like the idea of using prime numbers. i don' t think another game in space would be worth it but  A whole new premmise. maybe a new location on earth, like a university or something. or maybe Mi5 headquaters when trilby was working there.

[Gilbert]

Prime numbers? So the next next game will be 13 Days a Friday? Nah...

[Babar]

Ahem... 11 days a Something, not 13 (just to be geeky and smartass)

[veryweirdguy]

He said the next next game, not the regular ol' next game, so that would be 13.

[Hey]

Ever since I've played 5 Days I havent been able to really enjoy any of the othr games. I really liked it and was exciting to see a sequel come out, though I agree with the prequel idea. I actually think Yahtzee should of made 7 day a skeptic the third in the series instead of jumping 400 years into the future, but I have my doubts with that thought still. Bottom line, I enjoyed both games (7 Days was a scary experience with the chase scenes and not being to sure of what to do) and I hope to see more of such work of art from Yahtzee.

I actually ran into no bugs while playing through the first time, except these two:

Spoiler

after William died, i went back into the shaft. When I came back out William's head was up again like it was when he was talking to me. Just to add, I thought this was one of the best scenes in the game, along with the second dream. The second bug was that when John is holding on for his life from being sucked out into the final frontier, I went up to the options screen, which should stop the game, but John flew out disproving this fact

.

Also a fact and a question:

Spoiler

When I looked at the abomination when in Williams' room, John says it looks like William was trying to stitch together parts from THREE different bodies. Who da third, G? The question is has anyone found out what to use the kidney bowl for?

Here I'll add a few thought and answers to questions brought up in this thread. The thing about Selena's ghost was what I thought it was to at first, but I think it was Defoe himself just using her body. Kinda hard to justify, but what helps is that William said Defoe didn't like the bodies because they were too weak, though Selena didn't walk around like the zombie Barry. Another thing I would like to point out is how it seemed John Defoe gained some sort of intelligence over the past 400 years (could of been the time when the idol was being past around the black market) sinced he played mind games with William and convinced him to make John Defoe a body, which ended like when Matthew Defoe helped out his brother John when they were alive (William seemed to act like a caregiving child asking Somerset if he forgives William for what he was doing).

[close]

One more thing, about the secret scene I read somewhere that to get it you have to get to a day at the time (according to your computer clock) it turns to the same day for you {example: get to day Friday when it becomes Friday for you} but I have no idea to how accurate this is.
