DESCRIPTION

Henry Stauf was a homeless man; a drifter who went from town to town stealing money and mugging old ladies. He didn't want to do this but he had to — he was homeless and had no means of getting by. That is, until a dream and a vision came to him in his sleep. He dreamed of a marvelous toy that all the kids would love. Stauf crafted the toy, sold it, and began to make quite a reputation for himself. He then dreamt of a doll and it was even more popular than his last toy. But every child who had a Stauf toy began to die and the toymaker secluded himself in his brand new mansion. One night, he invited 6 of his associates to dinner and join him in a conversation about his toys...but no one ever came out of the house alive. And then there were rumors of a 7th guest — and it is now up to you to find out what took place that one dreadful evening and take a look into Stauf's life.

The 7th Guest combines the puzzle genre with a mystery storyline filled with murder, intrigue and deceit. There's also a hint of exploration. Played from a first person perspective, you'll have to venture into the 22 rooms of the Stauf mansion and solve over 20 unique brainteasers in order to unlock the events of the past. ~ Michael L.

“I played this when I was young (about 10-12) and it scared the shit out of me. Still loved it though!”

“Groundbreaking for the time, it's shallow now. There's little adventuring to speak of, but thankfully, the puzzles it relies so heavily on are clever. Let's not even talk about the cheesy acting.”

“This was one of my first CD games. Anticipated first for the SNES expansion that failed and became the Playstation. Played on PC instead. It didn't like my computer though :(”
