Darkness Falls is a unique - complete overhaul of the 7 Days to Die Game, It focus and spreading out the time that you spend being in the early stages of the game, while bring some very unique items to the game such as Character classes, Custom Zombies, Custom Weapons and even Demons. It includes NPC's that can also help or hinder you.

Darkness Falls is not for the faint of heart, and there is a learning curve, but once the basics are mastered it is very rewarding. Below are some of the changes that are modified from the original game.

  • 8 Classes to choose from, with 6 quests each!

  • 96 slot backpack! 12 slot crafting queue!

  • Custom UI! Food/Water bars next to the hotbar.

  • Increased zombie spawn/respawn rate!

  • Night time is now dangerous. The ferals come out to play...

  • Zombie Behemoth (male and female) added!

  • Scrap Iron Tools added. Iron requires level 15.

  • Titanium added! Can be found as trophies, underground and above ground. Used to make tools, weapons and blocks.

  • Forge Ahead & Leather Tanning books are back! (can also be purchased as perks)

  • Wrench is now a perk and a schematic, but crafted and repaired with Iron.

  • All common books added as perks, so you have the choice of finding the book or spending points.

  • Action skills are back!

  • Skill books added for all 100 level skills.

  • Generic skill point book added so you have ways to get skill points.

  • Skill notes! Find a recipe you already have? Scrap it into a skill note and craft that into something more useful.

  • Extra crops! Grow apple, orange banana and coconut trees, plus wheat, carrots and tomatos!

  • More food! Way too much to list, but bread is now an option. So are sunday roast dinners. YUM!

  • Animal Coops and Snares from Valmod added.

  • Clay bowls are back, and used for more than just pretty plants!

  • Craftable Small Engines and Lead Batteries!

  • Several new guns! Like the P225 Pistol, AR-15 Automatic Rifle, Winchester Rifle and Combat Shotgun.

  • Gun crafting! Gun parts are back and require the rare, find-only Lathe to be crafted.

  • Arrows can now use cloth fragments instead of feathers. Sticks and Sharp Stones have also made a return!

  • Tree sap is now a thing! Try left-clicking on non-dead trees with jars or bowls...

  • Sterile Bandage! New healing item to fill the void between normal Bandages and First Aid Bandages.

  • Working sinks and ovens! Both types craftable, so pick whichever matches your kitchen.

  • 5 new workstations. The Advanced Forge (required to smelt steel, but no fuel needed!), the Mortar and Pestle and two workbenches! There is also the rare, loot-only, Lathe!

  • Stone hammer added. Counts as a construction tool. Used only for repairing and upgrading.

  • Lockpicks added! Now you can lockpick all safes and most doors.

  • Steel crossbow added that takes steel, exploding and titanium bolts. Both crossbows can be scoped.

  • Combat axe added. There's also a titanium version.

  • Trader's are no longer protected! Take care of your local business!

  • Guards added to the trader, with a Guard Captain NPC! Talk to them to buy quest starters, which can earn you skill notes! (Single player only due to server bugs)

  • Larger player-crafted storage (kitchen cabinets, lockable!).

  • Time REMOVED from under the compass and on the map. Added to the trader window (under restock time).

  • Junction box added for invisible wires. Unlocked via electricity perk.

  • Bomber zombies added! These buggers are designed to tear your base to bits. You have been warned!

  • 7 Day hordes re-done (less game stages so difficulty should ramp up faster and ferals appear sooner).

  • Writing Desk, Ink and Quill available! Used together, these halve the cost of creating skill books and class papers.

  • Grass spawns reduced for better performance/easier to see things.

  • Traders now have more basic materials for building.

  • Localization HEAVILY edited to show where items are crafted, including if they can be made in multiple workstations (one will have a reduced resource cost) and what tools may be needed.

  • Compo pack added!

  • Hornet from A15 and earlier is back, with it's original sounds and model! Keep an eye out for them in forest biomes.

  • Trader Caitlin has arrived! She has her own POI, her own voice, lives in the wasteland and carries the most powerful items.
