You can now play through the prologue level of Fool’s Theory & IMGN.PRO's isometric stealth-action RPG Seven: The Days Long Gone for free, thanks to a free demo available on both Steam and GOG. And if you like what you see there, you can then pick the game up at 30% off throughout this week (until January 29th).

Here's a press release with an overview of the game and its features:

BIELSKO-BIALA, POLAND (January 22, 2018) -- Developed by Fool’s Theory & IMGN.PRO, and made up of ex-Witcher developers, SEVEN: THE DAYS LONG GONE, a Thief-inspired 3D isometric RPG is 30% off at Steam and GOG starting today (January 22) and lasting for one week only. In addition, the team has released a playable demo on Steam and GOG.

SEVEN: THE DAYS LONG GONE is a 3D isometric RPG with the first ever climbing system. Since its launch, the team has released several big patches improving gameplay, audio and visual, UI, stability and quests for an indie game that has been recognized for breaking new ground. Gamers can check out the improvements in the demo available on Steam and GOG. The demo includes the entire prologue level in which players can experience the most important gameplay aspects: fighting, magic, sneaking and disguises.

“SEVEN: THE DAYS LONG GONE received accolades at launch for our ambitious goals of pushing the traditional Isometric RPG genre into a new realm. We achieved success in many aspects and we also didn’t quite succeed in others, but over the past two months since launch we have released several big patches that addressed areas that needed refinement and we feel that our game is far better than it was just two months ago. This is why we are releasing a free demo on Steam and GOG to let players check out the game and see what we are talking about,” said Jakub Rokosz, Head of Development, Fool’s Theory. “And for those who like what they experience in the free demo, they will have the opportunity to purchase SEVEN: THE DAYS LONG GONE on Steam and GOG at a 30% discount.”

In SEVEN: THE DAYS LONG GONE, you play as Teriel, a master thief possessed, in the most symbiotic ways possible, by an ancient daemon (Artanak) and deported to the prison island of Peh. Teriel, with Artanak help, unearth the island’s dark secrets and soon learn that the fate of the entire Vetrall Empire rests in balance.

The post-apocalyptic world is filled with mysterious technology and Dark Age superstition, diverse communities that react to every action, and a rich ecosystem of creatures to interact with, from animals to people to monsters. Freely explore the vast yet unforgiving open world, whether following the main story line or heading off on a side quest.

And to sweeten the deal even further, the developers have released a new patch for Seven that revamps some of its mechanics and fixes plenty of issues. Here's the changelog:

A full changelog for the patch will be submitted under this post but here is a general overview of what has changed in Seven: The Days Long Gone:

• Improved combat behaviours for humanoid enemies, it will be much harder to just spam normal attacks in order to kill an opponent. Enemies will also try to flank the player while in a group,
• Improved NPC reactions to combat, dead bodies, knocked out friendlies and noise,
