7th Guest is a game of gothic horror & mystery. There are tons of puzzles, each varying in difficulty, but always challenging. The cake puzzle (shown right) is one of the more fun puzzles, since it has many ways to solve it. So there is always some elements of replay to them. |

On the graphics side, the georgeous imagery and dark & gothic look make the game enjoyable even for those just watching you play. The matting of the FMV actors over the CGI background is executed nicely, and enhances the dark feel of the mansion. Some scenes can be genuinely creepy, like this painting (shown left, gotta love an artist who really gets "into" his work.), but really nothing too gory is depicted. Still, its reccomended that young children not watch it. Some scenes can be REALLY intense. Click here for an example. |

The music & sounds of the game greatly add to the creepy feel. Play the game in the dark, and you may just feel like you're there. A definite plus as well, is that the maker also provided the music tracks on a second disc. Now you can take them with you, and get the creeps where ever you go. |

The only complaint you may have against it, as with most games of this genre, is the lack of replay. While many of the puzzles do offer multiple ways to solve them, the story never changes. But, the story is so involving, you may find yourself just jumping right back in again right after solving it. |
