The new standard in interactive entertainment.--Bill Gates, 1993

Henry Stauf, the murdering maniac, the power-hungry puppeteer, the master of the mysterious mansion--why did we ever trust him? Why did we accept his invitation? Was there a supernatural force driving us towards our demise? Was there ever a way to avoid it? We are the six spirits of Stauf's guests, doomed for eternity to repeat the fatal night at his haunted house. There must be a way to stop this vicious cycle! There must be a way for our souls to break free! If only someone could challenge Stauf and solve his devious puzzles, there still could be some hope.
When The 7th Guest 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%.

The 7th Guest remains a fascinating episode in the history of computer games, so make sure to visit Stauf's mystery mansion yourself!
