One missed from the other week is The 7th Guest Remake got announced, bringing the classic haunted mansion adventure into modern times. Coming from Vertigo Games and Exkee, if you love exploring and solving puzzles in a spooky setting this might be one to stick on your wishlist.

Technically, this is not entirely new. They actually released a VR version "The 7th Guest VR" back in 2023. With this they're finally giving those of you without a VR kit the experience now with this proper standalone version.

Compared with FMV from the original, this is doing something a little different with real actors appearing fully inside the game world.

This game, although I never felt it was all that fun, was the game that blew my mind as a kid. This game showed us that computers were the future. I had an NES controller in one hand, and my jaw hit the ground the first time I saw someone play this game. It's kind of laughable quality now, but back then it was like holy shit what the heck!!?!

Glad to see it's getting a remake.

    I remember that buying this game started a series of computer upgrades just so I could run it, lol

    Between that and Myst, it was the golden age of obtuse puzzles and spooky vibes.
