The 7th Guest is a horror adventure described as "the first Interactive Drama", with plentiful pre-rendered 3D graphics, live action video clips, and an original, orchestrated musical score. The atmosphere is dense, the puzzles difficult and the experience as a whole is completely horrifying. Henry Stauf was a master toymaker and his eerie mansion was the greatest of his creations. It stands empty, abandoned years ago, rotting ever since the children started dying, ever since the six guests were here. Now, you are in the house, moving from one room to another, trying to remember and trying to forget. The mansion of horror comes to life again and only you can end the nightmare and learn the secret of the 7th guest.
