Summary
7 Days to Die is an open-world survival game that puts players on a seven-day timer to survive against zombie hordes that progressively grow in strength. By default, 7 Days to Die servers from BisectHosting are set to public visibility for users to connect easily. Two other options for server visibility can limit it to only friends or those with the IP.
