The best B-movies in the history of gaming!

The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour, a pair of fascinating ghost stories with orchestrated soundtrack, that launched computer games into the CD-ROM era, is available 80% off, for Windows and Mac OS X, on GOG.com for the next 24 hours. That's only $3.98 for the set of two ($1.99 each).

[url=http://www.gog.com/promo/gem_promo7th_guest_11th_hour_270114][/url]The 7th Guest, when came out in 1993 as one of the first games released on CDs, it supposedly drove the sales of CD-ROM drives to rise by 300%. Over two million copies of the game were sold, as everybody wanted to see what the new technology can bring to the gaming table. Driven by curiosity, the gamers came to find a uniquely presented horror story with thick atmosphere, creative puzzles, and innovative pre-rendered 3D graphics. The orchestrated soundtrack played a large part in creating the game's eerie mood and the FMV actors added a fantastic horror B-movie quality into the mix. The 7th Guest, followed by The 11th Hour, remains a fascinating episode in the history of computer games, so make sure to visit the mad Henry Stauf's mystery mansion yourself!

The 7th Guest pits you against the devious mind of Henry Stauf, the murdering maniac, the power-hungry puppeteer, the master of the mysterious mansion. You accepted his invitation and now a supernatural force is driving you towards your demise. You will encounter the six spirits of Stauf's guests, doomed for eternity to repeat the fatal night at his haunted house. Then, you'll witness history repeating itself with The 11th Hour, a sequel revisiting the mansion and reigniting the flames of madness upon which the kettle of mystery and horror entraps new victims. Both games come with full soundtracks and bonus materials to enhance your experience.

Step into the realm of horror, solve the mystery mansion's many devious puzzles, discover the method to Henry Stauf's madness, and experience an important piece of gaming history in The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour, for only $3.98! The offer lasts until Tuesday, January 28, at 10:59AM GMT.

Notice:
Be advised, that once the promo ends, the prices of both games will be permanently reduced by 40%, so each of them will be available in GOG.com catalog for $5.99.
80%? I was afraid those two are leaving us. Great it's not the case :)
Instabuy! Just with Phantasmagoria was included in the promo too.
The 7th Guest, the first playable graphic demo for nerds with too much money...if i remember correct that was the description for the game, and 11th Hour was the overpriced and much to late published expansion for it.
Thats $ 3.99 better spend on real games.
How excellent, bought both. Played 7th Guest when it originally came out, now's a perfect time to get it back into my collection again, as well as check out the sequel. Thanks for the deal GOG!
Why don't I own these yet?


edit. corrected that mistake, i do now

Games I bought and downloaded but have yet to play, and now they are on discount. This means I should always wait to buy games until they are on promo, unless I gotta play them 'now'. Hmm..
Instant buy!

Too bad I missed recent Entomorph due to busy with work.
I remember playing the original 7th Guest. It was one of the first CD-based games. For those that are not familiar the gameplay is like Myst in the fact that you go to room to room and solve puzzles to advance. They are very creepy and horror-themed. There is also a central mystery. My memory is saying that you can die in the game, but I don't believe you can make a mistake and ruin advancement.

I never knew much about 11th Hour. Back then my dad bought the games, so he must have passed on it. I would have loved to play it.

I bought both.
Did the third games kickstarter ever get it's funding when it ran last year?

Unfortunately not.
But after the Kickstarter had ended they jumped ship to Crowdhoster, some other crowdfunding platform that allows more flexibility. The premise is to have two goals, first lower one, $65k to make a demo.

Precinct, The Jim Walls Police Quest spiritual successor campaign tried a similar thing and didn't end well. It's looking similarly for 7th Guest right now, but they supposedly haven't started properly promoting the new campaign, only announcing it to the backers before Christmas (probably waiting for the Broken Age dust to cool off).
Hope they'll make it somehow, but...

I've been waiting for this sale for a while now. Would've been happy with 50% off, so this is a real treat. :)

That's really too bad. I was aware of both but forgot the names of the Kickstarters. They seem to both be controlled by the original creators which is neat, but I think a bit better of a presentation and reasonable budget is necessary to attract enough people. They're better off starting simple and going from there with stretch goals.
Very nice price on these games. It feels strange to have never owned a copy of 7th Guest; it seems to me that at one point in our rather short, but furious computer history it was one of those ubiquitous games like the Carmen Sandiego series.

Thanks GOG.
Great promo! Thanks for heads up, still worth the price anyways.
yezzz!!! I wait it long time!
