You have died. You are now in the Reaper's Game. You will be asked questions, and your answers guide your story. You will face Missions. You will face The Noise. You will face the Game Master. You Have 7 Days. Will you survive, or face Erasure?

You Have 7 Days is a two page, diceless tabletop roleplaying game for 3+ players, one person to play as the Game Master and the others to play as Contestants, where the story moves forward by answering questions about the situations your characters face.
The Contestants are people who have died and are now playing the Reaper's Game for a chance to earn their life back. The Reaper's Game is 7 days long and requires you to beat Missions, defend yourself from The Noise, and beat the Game Master to win. To participate and make it past Day 1, you will need to make a Pact with other Contestants in order to participate, so there is an assumption of teamwork on the part of the part of the players playing this role. The Game Master is both a character in the roleplaying game, issuing Missions to the Contestants, providing obstacles for the Contestants to overcome, and fighting the Contestants on Day 7, while also acting as the game master of You Have 7 Days itself, providing Setups and Questions for the other players to answer, keeping track of the flow of gameplay, and so on.
The way you progress through your story is through Setups and Questions. Setups are ways to establish the scene, and they can be as long or as short as you'd like. You wake up in a crowded part of town. You were not here yesterday. Questions will be follow-ups to the Setup, and the players will answer them for their Contestants or Game Master honestly. What is the last thing you remember?
Page 1 has the standard Setups and Questions for Day 1 of the Reaper’s Game, serving as a way to give the players playing as Contestants a way to start thinking about their character before the game starts. Page 2 has premade Setups and Questions that the Game Master can use throughout the 7 Days, but they will need to come up with more throughout the game.
