'''''7 Days a Skeptic''''' is a [[2004]] point-and-click horror game developed by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw and published by Fully Ramblomatic. It is the second entry in his four-part ''Chzo Mythos'' series, and a distant sequel to ''[[5 Days a Stranger]]'', set on a spaceship 400 years after the events of the previous game.

A short teaser, marked as "part 0" of the LP, was released on July 28, 2012, with the LP scheduled to begin on August 20. However, the series was subject to several delays, and eventually never materialized.

7 Days a Skeptic is a 2004 point-and-click adventure game developed by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw and published by Fully Ramblomatic for PC. It is the second of four entries in Croshaw's Chzo Mythos series. A distant sequel to 5 Days a Stranger, the story takes place 400 years after the events of that game, and follows psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Somerset and the rest of the crew of the spaceship Mephistopheles, who encounter strange phenomena after discovering a metal box containing the remains of John DeFoe. The game was intended to be played on The D-Pad in 2012, as a follow-up to their 2011 LP of 5 Days a Stranger. The LP was announced with a teaser released on July 28, 2012, with the first episode scheduled for August 20, but it was ultimately never recorded.

The game was revisited on the channel in 2014, as the second game in The Mythic Let's Play. The LP consisted of 9 episodes, released on weekdays from August 7 to September 9, 2014.
