History VideoGame / SevenDaysToDie

* ContinuingIsPainful: Invoked and Averted. You lose everything you have equipped in your tool-belt (the 1-9 key-slots), but keep everything in your inventory. As of now, the game's respawning depends on the spawn point (a bed or a sleeping bag), but it seems to randomly select which one has the highest priority.
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Dying near your base, with a spawn point (a bed) in it, is basically this. You just have to recover what you dropped.

* FetchQuest: Teased during the trailer. Quests are supposed to bring you around the map, to points of interest and self-sustaining towns, but the game is still in Alpha, so it'll be a while until quests are even added.
* GunsAreWorthless: Played with. Guns are useful to easily kill an zombie with a single headshot, and each gun has it's own ups and downs, giving a nice flavour of things to try. It can also be invoked, since each gun needs a good supply of clips, and it's possible to walk around with a good amount of guns but no ammo for them. Every weapon in the game also got a degradation system that goes down everytime you use it, so guns take up two resources: The gun itself and its ammo.

* JustAddWater: A few craftables seem to live on this. Want a camp fire? A piece of paper and a tree trunk is good enough.

* OneBulletClips: Averted to a ridiculious degree. Every gun is loaded with a full "clip", which is quite understandable. Reloading a pistol requires a pistol magazine. On the other hand, reloading a shotgun empties it for its remaining shells and refills it again with new shells. Atleast the hunting rifle makes sense.

* PowerEqualsRarity: Pistols are pretty frequent, Sawed-Off Shotguns and [=SMGs=] are somewhat frequent, whereas normal Shotguns and Hunting Rifles are bordering on uncommon and rare, while Sniper Rifles, Chainsaws and Rocket Launchers are really rare.
* SimpleYetAwesome: Every common weapon you can find, as long as you have enough ammo. Anything that can shoot and hit a zombie in the head, will mostly kill it in one or two hits.

* VendorTrash: Averted. Scrap Metal, Candy Cans, and Pop-Caps seem worthless, but they aren't. Every item you find can be crafted into something, if not used. In case of Scrap Metal, it can be used to make Iron Ingots, which is used for weapons and equipment.

* YouAllLookFamiliar: There's 3 female zombie models (a nurse, a cheerleader, and one in a dress), aswell as a limited number of male zombie models. All the fat ones are the same hawaii-shirt-clad fatty, same for the acid-puking-cop. For the player characters, there's two different skins for both the male and the female character.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: The feel that the title is aiming for. So far, everything in the game is finite, meaning that canned goods are only there for so long, that you either have to hunt for food to survive, or hope that your lucky enough for zombies to drop some food.

The game is currently in Alpha 6, is developed by The Fun Pimps, and was financed through Kickstarter. You can buy it through the game's website or through Steam Early Access.
