Seven: The Days Long Gone Bug Fixing Galore

The majority of reviews for IMGN.PRO and Fool’s Theory’s stealth-action RPG Seven: The Days Long Gone mention the general buggy nature of the game and the clunkiness of some of its systems as its biggest downsides. However, by way of a press release, we’ve learned that the developers are working hard to remedy that. The game has already received three big patches (1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5) that fix plenty of bugs, make the game more user-friendly and better optimized. And, by the looks of it, more patches are on the way.

Here are the relevant parts from the press release that promises some free content down the line:

BIELSKO-BIALA, POLAND (December 8, 2017) — ex-Witcher developers from Fool’s Theory & IMGN.PRO (Kholat), have released two new bug killing patches for SEVEN: THE DAYS LONG GONE, their Thief-inspired 3D isometric RPG in which players must escape the inescapable prison island of Peh in the post-apocalyptic open world of the Vetrall Empire.

“We wish to extend our gratitude to fans and journalists who have already played our game. In a perfect world we would have waited a bit longer to release, but we had to go, and we were eager to share what we have been working on. These first two patches address some combat issues, movement and stealth problems and eliminate a lot of minor bugs. It’s not perfect yet, but we are working toward perfection. We thank you all for your support as we continue to release updates,” said Lukasz Kubiak,

“As a ‘thank you’ gift to you all, we are working on some additional content that will make available for free to everyone who has the game to make your adventures on Peh island even more fun. Thank you for helping us bring this game to fruition. We wish you and yours a safe and wonderful holiday with lots of free to time to game,” said Kubiak
