The 7th Guest is a puzzle-based adventure game. In it, you take on the role of a mysterious person who finds himself in an old house with no idea of how he got there. Solving the puzzles located throughout the house will gradually reveal more of the story of Henry Stauf, the home's original inhabitant. The movie sequences that tell this story were groundbreaking for their time. This is less of a traditional adventure game and more of a puzzle-based game like fellow 90s hit Myst. If the puzzles get too much, the house's library does contain some clues.
