The 7th Guest Remake Brings Its Haunting Puzzle Experience to PC, Xbox, and PS5

The 7th Guest Remake

The 7th Guest was released over three decades ago and became an iconic title of its time. It stood out for its impressive use of CD-ROM technology, being one of the first games to truly take advantage of it in a groundbreaking way.

Now, many years later, the title is making a return with a remake. The official announcement came last month, when developer Vertigo Games confirmed the remake of The 7th Guest. We now also have a confirmed release date, with the remake launching on June 4th for PC, Xbox, and PS5, while a Nintendo Switch 2 version is also planned.

The title offers a compelling story where six people are invited to a mansion. All the people who have been invited have very dark pasts and were invited there by a strange toy maker named Henry Stauf. Strange things are happening at the mansion as the guests are forced to solve puzzles, and the mansion seems to be watching and controlling everything.

There’s also a mystery around the seventh guest, a missing child named Tad, who is somehow connected to everything. For players who enjoy mind-bending puzzles, haunting exploration, and a chilling story, The 7th Guest Remake is worth playing.

Key features:

  • Cinematic Storytelling Through Volumetric Video: Step inside the story. Using newly recorded volumetric video, live-action performances are captured in full 3D, placing players directly inside Henry Stauf’s mansion. Real actors appear within the world itself, making every encounter feel immediate and unsettling.
  • Unique Mind-Bending Puzzle Gameplay: The iconic haunted mansion comes alive with high-end visuals and carefully redesigned puzzles. Every puzzle is woven into the story and rooted in the mansion’s lore, with recognisable elements that pay homage to the original.
  • Dynamic Environments: The haunted mansion shifts and transforms through clever visual effects and optical illusions. Investigate every creepy nook and cranny, unlock new rooms, and uncover hidden secrets as the horrors within begin to close in.
