The 7th Guest (PC) - Full Game
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2013
- Welcome to my house... The 7th guest is a puzzle adventure in the form of an interactive movie made by trilobyte in 1993. Together with rebel assault, it was one of the first games that made people want to get a cd rom drive. The game was quite successful and a sequel named the 11th hour was released.
You play as the mysterious 7th guest who gets an invitation to a spooky mansion owned by Mr. Stauff. He's a somewhat crazy guy who had visions that guided him to making dolls. They were so lifelike that children wanted to have one and Stauff became both famous and rich. Eventually, the children started to die. A disease or curse from these dolls was responsible for their illness.
Stauff, in his madness, sent invitations to several people and whoever could solve his puzzles, was granted a wish. You frequently see cutscenes of the other six guests who happen to have been around the mansion simultaneously while you, the 7th guest, arrive later. Apparently, they were pretty dumb and haven't solved a single puzzle or Stauff reset them for you.
The house it fully pre-rendered and all you can do is click on certain areas on the screen. You then move along pre-defined ways with a transition which is actually a video sequence streamed from the cd. These transitions are fairly slow. That will quickly become annoying, but it was probably a limitation by the low speed of the first cd rom drives that just couldn't read fast enough. Nevertheless, it was revolutionary at the time and certainly looks much more impressive than full-motion videos on the sega cd.
Not all puzzles are available from the beginning. After the first two, about half the house becomes available and after certain puzzles are solved, another batch becomes accessible while for the last two, you need to complete all other puzzles first.
Interactive areas on the screen are shown by changing the mouse cursor if you move over them. Cutscenes got a mask icon and puzzles show a brain. With a click you start them. There is little explanation. Some cryptic hints are given in the cutscene in the same room or by Stauff or your character during your attempt on solving the puzzle. If you can't figure it out, there is a clue book in the library. It gives you two clues per puzzle and if you read it a third time it will just complete it for you. If you let it auto-complete a puzzle, you don't get to see a cutscene as if you had finished it yourself. You can use the clue book's ability to solve puzzles on any but the last one.
How good are the puzzles you ask? They are ok, I guess. They are somewhat repetitive, not very creative and with the exception of the maze, there are no clues to be found anywhere in the house. Every puzzle is self-contained. In general, the reason why I don't find them very appealing is that almost all of them feel "mechanical" and those that don't are just terrible.
Let me compare these puzzles to zork: nemesis since I made a complete playthrough of that as well so you can verify my claims. In zork: nemesis there is a theme throughout the game that includes every puzzle. They are about logic and not just an algorithmic solution and you need clues found in other rooms of the game. You read books that add to the lore and put everything in a mysterious shroud. Of course zork: nemesis is a more modern and more recent game. Technology has advanced and the 7th guest had to deal with limitations that zork: nemesis didn't have to put up with. Still, that is no excuse for lazy puzzles. Take the old lucas arts adventures as an example. They are even older, but the riddles and puzzles are clever and fun.
So, how would I rate the 7th guest? It's a mixed bag. I think every adventure fan should try this game because it was important to the genre. I've waited for almost 20 years to play the game because I didn't have a computer back then when it was released, but read the reviews and imagined how great the 7th guest must be. I still want to like it. It sets up the mood nicely and if you accept the puzzles for what they are and don't question where they originate (cough, 8-queens-problem, cough). I'm working on the 11th hour, but i'd like to solve the puzzles myself if possible and therefore it may take one or two weeks for it to show up on youtube. Игры
This game scarred me as a kid. Now 33, I'm brave enough to watch a playthrough and get some closure
Me too!! XD
Same here.
Same exact thing!
Exaaactly lol
same bro! i used to watch my dad playing this while i was scared as fuck
now ill challenge it with my 29's years
The nostalgia! I'm 39 and played this as a kid. I never finished it, I got stuck I think and oh my god that maze, I've hated mazes ever since! The game scared me but in a way I thought was really cool. It's so weird and obscure! I'm genuinely smiling at the people in the comments that feel the same way I did. A shared childhood experience, shared maze trauma! Haha
The maze was printed on a rug in one of the bedrooms if I remember
@@HarryGamez642 It's on the rug, but due to poor compression, I never realized there was an exit on it. I just saw the entrance and when the woman said something about getting to the middle, I thought I had to find something in the maze around the middle.
@@ssgohan296 I never knew that! My mom spent hours mapping out the whole maze. She was adamant about getting through the maze but then couldn't get the casket puzzle. I was able to do that.
I'm guessing you're 40 years old now
I miss the '90's gaming; snes the ps and the N64. I remember being up late at night all by myself, in front of a 14" monitor in a little home office playing games like these. the feeling it gave me is unexplainable, moments like these were special, playing starcraft online, smoking cigarettes letting it burn in the ashtray until realized a foul smell from the filter burning.... people will never understand gaming of the '90's
+zedzero77 It was quite different back then, games had a special feeling. Computer technology and graphics were accelerating so much faster back then. Every year games looked much more impressive than the last. Now it takes several years to notice a significant difference. Another thing, people are so spoiled these days, it makes it hard for them to appreciate little things. They expect perfection out of a game, movies too for that matter, thats why younger people don't have interest in past works of art, if something appears a little off or sounds differnt, and if the acting isn't up to their standards they entirely miss the point of a story or gaming experience.
The 90s were indeed a pivotal time for games. There seemed to be many factors. CD-ROMs brought us the age of "multimedia." The Internet was becoming accessible to more people than before. Shareware was all over the place. Little computer shops and video rental stores thrived. We got Doom! Myst! Warcraft! PlayStation! It was a transitional time, and it was very exciting.
lisvender Hell yea Doom! I did custom work for that game, I spent months on it. I redesigned the Cacodeamon graphically and made it shoot 3 fire balls instead of one, the death sequence was also very different and nicer looking. It explodes sending fireballs in all directions. I made some intense maps and did various custom texture work as well. I started off addicted to that game, then started fooliing around with it and it got me started in amature video game design.
Do you remember T7G being in all the computer stores on display? It actually boosted CD-Rom sales for PC's a great deal. That says a lot when one game can do that.
As much as I love Mass Effect and the like, nothing will ever replace 90's gaming, or even 80's gaming. Those were the days, man. Those were the days.
Now we miss the point of gaming and spend too much time bothering with fps and resolution therefore my sarcastic username
Back in the day before the internet when there wasn’t much else to do, this game was great fun. My friend and I used the strategy guide to beat it. This early era of 90s big box PC games was so charming. I miss it.
The 7th Guest is to video games what Twin Peaks was to television. Oblique, mysterious and incredibly hard to work out. But very entertaining!
Underrated comment.. interesting how the 11th hour was super twin peaks inspired too. The alienating factor of older graphics and interface creates some good horror and uncanny vibes
One of the first computer games I ever had. I remember endlessly playing this when I was 8, tearing my hair out over the puzzles, and then getting too scared by the videos to keep going. XD
Maddy Larsen yes me too!😂
This bit from the library all ways gets me
Same.. it's weird to look at this and remember seeing different scenes. I remember playing it with my little brother, don't think we beat it.. still, looking at now I see that it's unique and has unique historical value of some kind
As a kid, I managed to get past the first 2 puzzles on the ground floor but that's it. When Edward's (Ghost's?) head blew up I probably felt scared but now in 2019, how the designers executed it looks mildly comical.
This game was always a fascinating piece of graphical, musical and story-telling art. Great stuff for a 1993 DOS game.
D:\T7G
People really forget just how ground breaking this was at the time.
I played it years ago. The voice saying "feeling lonely" in 24:40 still creeps me out !!
Such fond yet traumatizing memories. I couldn't bring myself to play this game alone as I was just a little kid when it was in the house, and my father had to play it with me. Together we conquered my fears and we solved all the puzzles, but damn if the game didn't give me nightmares that lasted for some time.
I got so scared playing this game as a kid that one time I literally ran out of the room and couldn't play it alone after that. As I became a pre-teen I played zombie video games and such but nothing came close to scaring the living pants off of me like this game. I think it might be the story-telling in this game and the fact that it was the first time that I saw a game have such realistic (at the time) graphics. I don't know but it felt like the game was haunted : (
totally agree
lolol game was haunted mate
You should try the VR remake coming this Halloween on oculus and Playstation... :D
Dude same here I started feeling really uneasy playing this game as a kid. I think the music and the cryptic yet ever-present storyline have a lot to do with it. Got the VR remake for psvr2 but I got nose surgery and need my it to fully heal up before I can wear a VR headset again haha. Very curious to try it out though.
The Magician was my favorite guest for a few reasons. He figured out what Stauf was doing to the kids, he always tried to help Tad and best of all, he was never corrupted.
Hamilton Temple was a straight shooter.
The one elder wife wasn't corrupted either. Both of them did wish to help the boy, while everyone else was willing to sacrifice him for their own selfish motives.
I loved the music in this game more than any other thing.
Same for me, that's what I remember most about this game.
Upgraded my PC to play this game, loved it. I'm 41, first game I ever played on PC was King's Quest III, was a huge fan of Sierra On-line and adventure games.
I learned more about computers trying to get old DOS games like this to function than from anything else.
After reading the context of the playthrough in the description, I can confirm that playing through this game at the time it was released was a whole experience in itself that I don't think can be replicated by doing a first playthrough now.
I was so stuck back then. Never completed it. There was almost no help or guide anywhere! No Internet! Great to see what i could have experienced! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this!
There was a guide book!!! My brothers and I saved for it and vowed to not use it for the maze. Because in that one room upstairs, the carpet shows the map for the basement maze.
As a kid, I was stuck forever in the green cake puzzle not knowing what was I supposed to do.
Recently found my spiral wound notepad with notes for this game. Full of things like the soup can words, chess game, map of dungeon off of kitchen and such things. Brought back some fond times. Same notebook had notes on the game Myst also.
Oh yes, Myst! My absolute favorite of all times!
The graphix were amazing back in the day.
In those years... The bomb!
Kept me going when I was undergoing cancer treatment.
Molly Brown-Ruddy are you okay now? ❤⚘
You okay now? I hope you are
This is amazing... brings back memories... thanks for posting :-)
Available on two CDs for 8x CDROMs minimum
Holy shit this takes me back. I really miss playing this game. This was so ahead for its time in 1993.
I remember playing this game with my friend back in the 90s! It was considered very state of the art! So glad I can watch it on here without having to figure out puzzles!!
Thanks for uploading this! I was 15 when my brother and I played this game and we never got to finish it. Good to watch the end. Not the best game but like you said.... it’s part of the genre and definitely a good memory Lane!
I clearly remember my parents playing this game when I was just a kid.
The memory is shared/similar!
This was the first game that actually freaked me out while playing late at night. Going through the underground tunnels with a voice that occasionally asked 'feeling lonely' gave me goose bumps.
Oh my God same.. I still here it when I'm in a new place 😊
Not sure why that smiley face ended up there cus that voice was pure dread and horror
This was a game that my family played together intensely when we first got it but I was still haunted 20 years later as to "what happened??"... thank you for taking the time to make this!
I'm 59 and did finish the puzzles..... meeting Stauf in the attic for the last one. My fav all-time.
This game came out when I was 18 and I remember pulling my hair out playing it before finally giving up... Thanks to your video I’ve finally experienced the whole game... 28 years later.. lol
Just found out about this game in the November 2012 issue of GameInformer. The screen grabs just looked awesome so here I am. Beautiful game.
I JUST LOVED THIS GAME!!! AND THE MUSIC/SOUNDTRACK JUST HEARING IT PUTS ME IN A TRANCE!!!
Thanks for the walkthrough guy or girl. I used it often to get through this game. This is not a game I would ever play twice.
Thank you for posting this. I never managed to finish the first time around.
Thank you Sir, this is my lovely PC game when I was young..
Awesome game. Was one of the first CD-Rom games I had, along with San Diego Zoo Animals and the Encyclopedia. Some of these puzzles gave me a run for my money, but I did eventually finish them all back then with no guides or help.
I loved that game! And the animations and graf. were the bomb in those years... Super cool and creepy too. Thx!!
I remember this game. It got me in trouble. I was stuck on a puzzle, so I called the hint line on the box. It was a toll call (900 number). It showed up on my parents’ phone bill as “Virgin Hint.” My mom accused me of calling phone sex. I told her the truth, but to this day I don’t think she believed me.
I still remember the answer to the puzzle that had stumped me. “Shy gypsy slyly spryly tryst by my crypt.”
😂
As a kid that couldn't speak English yet, I actually brute forced that puzzle by keeping notes on the combinations I had tried, and looking up the "words" in a dictionary to see if they existed
@@KunjaBihariKrishna Damn. Now _that's_ some serious dedication. 👍
Myself and my dad used to play the 7th guest. I rememeber we used to laugh(he was probably just laughing at me🤣) at the cutlery shifting around the table. I found it fascinating as a kid. Good memories
Must've been nice, my dad would make my life hell any time he caught me playing a video or computer game.
@@KidCorporate aw man im sorry always sucks that games have such a bad rep with alot of parents
Thanks for posting this! For the can puzzle, it is actually trying to make a sentence, but "Tryst" is a noun, not a verb, so it's not actually a sentence. Spry means agile and nimble, a tryst is a secret meeting of lovers.
Was and always will be a classic masterpiece in the world of gaming. Kind of game you could relax and play, it would decompress you rather than stress you like today's games.
34:23 scared the crap out of me as a kid
37:22 "RED BALLOOOON!" XD The acting in this game, I tell ya.
This game came out way before I was born and I've never played it before. But I love looking up old games, so here I am!
I gave up at the piano and microscope puzzle. Thanks for finally finishing this for me.
Man, this brings back some memories. I played the hell out of this in the early 90's. My neighbor had a computer before we did and would let us play it. This game was freaky back then.
Played this late into the night, and boy did it get scary alone in my room!
Oh My Goodness! This is an epic effort, LOVE this game. Thank you so much for posting! :D
The Magician was always my favorite of the six adult guests because he was never corrupted and always tried to help Tad. He also figured out what Stauf was doing to the kids and didn't have a selfish wish like the others.
See you in another 3 months when you’ll post this again
18:16 -- it's not an illogical puzzle, they're all synonyms or cleverly related words. I spent quite a number of days solving this myself in the 90s with no help from the internet. I still have the notebook where I worked out all of the puzzles with a pencil -- Bashful is the same as Shy; a Gypsy is a Nomad; Craft(il)y is the same as Sly(ly); Agile(ly) is the same as Spry(ly); a Tryst is a secret (romantic) meeting; Near My is the same as By My; and, Underground Vault is similar to a Crypt. You are likely confused by the words because many of them are affixed with a suffix. Spry and Sly are the original words with "ly" added to the end. Tryst is a secret romance; an affair -- which was foreshadowed by the woman and the married man in the dining room. There are clues to puzzles all throughout the game, including in the cut scenes, not just the hint manual.
I remember my dad bought a huge RV back in the early 2000's and the previous owner left the big strategy guide in it. I read the entire thing and was so angry I didn't have the game. I've never actually played or seen gameplay of it. You have just given me a way to scratch a 20 year itch in my brain pan 😂😂
Soy fan de éste videojuego, recuerdo en CDROM lo jugaba horas en mis años 90s hace 20 años ya de esto y me sigue pareciendo el mejor juego de misterio y terror.
Gracias por subirlo.
Thanks for upload.
From MX.
No mames wey
I play it a lot!!!Thanks for posting!
i remember my dad playing this when i was little. got nostalgic and thought i'd look it up. we used to play soul caliber and starcraft together
That damn microscope-puzzle
I hated that puzzle with a passion, and even watching this I'm still cursing out the Green cells, lol!
@@Freddyfan1428 cursed be them!
@@Freddyfan1428 and, of course: "Feeling.... lonely." In the deadends of the Labyrinth.
@@Freddyfan1428 it's normal to pick up on 6yo comments, isn't it?
@@zeugenberg when it's the first time I see them, yes. 🙂
Ironically, I still have this game
.. just no older computer to play it on!
The hard copy manuals for this are amazing. I remember this and books for alone in the dark. #Nostalgia.
Alone In The Dark was great
Oh yes, blast from the past! I bought this from a used consignment rack at Briggs Video for like 5$ around 2005ish. Still have it on my old '06 Acer laptop which still works surprisingly, the one thing I bought from Wal-Mart that's lasted. This game was cool as sin and got me thru many a bored night after I got back from Iraq. Sometimes I'd fall asleep playing and let the background music play all night :-)
This game scared me as a kid but it shows how important music in games is and the puzzles goodness me they where hard back then if u didnt have a guide lol
This brought back so much memories, the first PC game I ever played and was only 5 years old at the time, good ol times with my parents :'(
The memories... never beat it though lol. Crazy how different the music sounds depending on the sound card you had. We built our PC with a Gravis Ultrasound.
This was the first PC game we ever got working - spent more time trying to get the damn soundcard to work than any of the in game puzzles! (Shout out to my Sound Blaster 16 homies).
This game freaked me out when I was young. First CD-rom game I ever had.
Still own this game on CD rom. And the 11th hour which was also a masterpiece.
That one puzzle in the basement was the only one that I could never beat. Always kept trying, but playing against the computer was flippen hard. Others could do it with ease. Oddly enough I could usually beat the beehive puzzle in the 11th hour after a few attempts. But that microscope one always humbled me.
Back in the days, most games used the processor speed to determine the difficulty of puzzle games. During the 486 era and the first pentiums this wasn't all that bad considering the increase was reasonable compared to their predecessors.
These days however the increase is huge and you'll notice a serious difficulty spike with these old puzzles. The microscope puzzle and the honeycomb one from 11th hour are perfect examples of how technology screws you over for upgrading your rig.
If you remember the original Pentium processors were defective with a divide by zero error. Thus, the 486 DX line reemerged with an Intel 486 DX4, AMD came out with an amazing AMD 5x86-133 Mhz. Then all the Pentium were recalled for continued development. Some old original Pentium processors became keychains. Cyrix, the underdog, came out with a 586 processor that had quality control issues. Some ran dual processor Intel 486DX4 motherboards in a computer and were gods!
i remember when 11th hour came out and my dads pc wouldn't run it, had to wait a year before i could play it. These games truly immersed me and spooked me out. They had a sort of Tim Curry scare about it. Speaking of which, Tim Curry was in a Frankenstein game that was similar to this that i could never finish.
As a kid, I remember seeing this game for sale at the mall and on the Best Buy shelves.. It caught my eye but I was too much of a King's Quest nerd and scare-dy cat to care..😆😅😁
I had (and have) and loved this game, but there's no computer old enough in the house to play it on. Fun to see it as a movie.
I liked the things that amused me on this game as a child under 15 better than the things that scared me on this game as a child under 15, because I remembered this PC videogame since it appeared when I was a boy between the ages 9 and 19. Now I'm at the age of 37 I can now find this PC videogame which I miss very, very much on RUclips.
I have a very particular memory playing this game as a kid, at about 8 or 9 years old. I slept over at my grandparents' house one evening, and before bed, my uncle let me play his save file on his computer while my aunt watched. I remember trying to make my way through the dungeon crawling portion (before reaching the crypt), and I got really spooked whenever I hit a dead end and I heard this booming voice at 24:39 say "FEELING...LONELY?" with the creepy music building up to it, and my aunt would get amused whenever I got scared. That night, I slept in her room and in the morning after, my aunt remarked that she heard me sleep talking and joked that I must've had nightmares from the game. Apparently I was loud enough that my uncle heard it too, even though he was in an adjacent room.
Fun times like this gave me a real sense of nostalgia for old games back in the 90's, even if the game was spooky or I didn't quite understand what was going on at that age. Watching this makes me want to revisit the game as an adult and do a complete playthrough of it this time.
Thanks for the memories!
This was my first CD-ROM game, along with DUNE.
Loved this game, very atmospheric. I played it on a Philips CDi though - things were a bit different and I'm sure there was an extra puzzle not present in the PC version, or maybe it was the other way around.
Nahhh que excelente aporte!! Yo lo jugaba en la PC que tenia mi hermano, recuerdo que el lo trajo de un viaje de Miami, lo instaló y me facinó! Es un hermoso recuerdo de mi infancia!!
Legit only knew it had 7 in the title so googled 90s horror games and here we are. Barely remember this one I was really young
I played it to scare myself and challenge my mind. Love this game. Gamer for life!
I hated that damn maze! By the time I was done I actually had the entire thing mapped out. Took me bloody forever! "Feeling.... lonely?" GAH! Over 20 yrs later I still knew what was gonna be said as I saw the dead end coming up. Great game tho! Thanks for the upload! Ahhh, memories. :)
I never beat it
Had a neighbor tell me to just hug the right wall and you can get out of any maze in time. Worked, but took a while.
This game was impressive when it came out. I played and completed this on a 25mhz PC with 4MB RAM.
hated the microscope puzzle most of all. loved playing this
That maze was an actual nightmare, at the end only one of my schoolmates made it through.
The route through the maze is on the rug that moves out of the way for the bishop puzzle.
@@cosmicjenny4508 ah wish we know that!
"Which way should I go now??"
Game creeped me out big time and I wasn’t so good with puzzles at the time but now as an adult I have more appreciation for the older games
Man I'd sell my soul for a third game to actually happen, and with the same type of gameplay and FMVs/Live Actors.
It almost happened...

Good news. Anyway, I can help get this project moving? (other than a donation). I'm from England and have a creepy British accent if you are looking for extras :-)
There was a second game?
The 11th Hour, yes.
There is something unbelievably spooky about the guests being transparent against the background when they arrive. Like, no need for that kinda spookies!
That hallway is so awesome
Holy shit, I remember playing this game at my grandparents when I was a kid. I never could remember what it was called. This is a huge nostalgia trip for me.
I think that someone should write a book out of this game because the story line is soooo good
They did, actually.
The scene around 1 hour and 59 minutes scared me to death as a kid.
At 28:50 I can always hear the TALES FROM THE CRYPT theme and Crypt Keeper's laughter in my head.
7th Guest debut in 1992 ,man I wish my current conscience and memories could be sent back into my body in 1992 , ,seemed like there was still hope for the world , I was in Virginia Beach in 1992 , if I could be back there then at that time with my current memories ,I could prevent sooo much awful from occuring 😔😞😔
As a kid, i never realised how hard sone of the music goes in this. 🥁

This terrified me as a child, I was about 5 or 6 when it was released and my dad had it installed on the family PC and I stupidly decided to play it when I was 8... absolutely terrifying. I credit this for producing a lot of my phobias and neurotic tendencies!! haha. The 11th Hour was also bloody terrifying!
Hi. My friends, Rob Landeros and Team3, at Trilobyte Games are Kickstarting the final episode in The 7th Guest series, and I'm very excited about it. I've backed the project already, because I really want to see this game get made, I'm anxious to play it. I hope you enjoyed the original 7th Guest and 11th hour, or have some scary fond memories of them. Enough to support, with present day tech, the 3rd chapter. 7th Guest - Collector. Here is the link to their kickstarter home page. www.kickstarter.com/projects/roblanderos/the-7th-guest-3-the-collector
My dad always played this game when I was a kid, and I was terrified of it, still today It's scary when I'm playing it
It really is a great song. :) I loved this game so much.
Man, the basement terrified me as a kid
The maze, And the doll room are scary parts for me(Im not lying, tbh) that I'd be getting nightmares of them during the night XD
I think a general rule of thumb is that if you’re invited to a Victorian style mansion on a cliff, just don’t go.
I remember my mom playing this game, and it scaring the shit out of me when I was young (7)... forgot about it until recently
I was 13...and that intro scared the shit outta me! Good times
This was the first pc game I ever played. My friend had it.
Gmoney Mozart One of the first ones of mine. Bought it without knowing what to expect. Turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
Mal Cors same case with me.
holy crap, I played this at my uncle's place.. I was friggin' 8. Thought it was kinda unpleasantly creepy but I'd never played a game like this before so I gave it a shot :D
thanks a lot for this full playthrough, twenty years ago, i had this game, but a kid, and not understanding the game and english language well enough. I suppose puzzles about words in this game are tricky even for people speaking english everyday.
It had a great atmosphere, a dark and intriguing story, i'm tempted to retry now, and finish the game, although the puzzles were confusing (i know, it's obvious that it's the point of the puzzle, but not my favorite genre in game, maybe because i lack patience to overcome it)
Honestly, i think it was a cornerstone, a dignified representation of the FMV game Genre, and a very good horror adventure game. (and 'phantasmagoria' too, although it's more narrative and less puzzle, and very gore and disturbing at certain points)
