The 7th Guest

The 7th Guest is an interactive movie puzzle adventure game that was developed by Trilobyte and initially launched by Virgin Interactive Entertainment in April 1993, exclusively on CD-ROM, marking an early instance of such a release in computer video games. The narrative unfolds through the player's perspective, assuming the role of an amnesiac within a horror story.
The game gained notable attention for integrating live-action video clips into its gameplay, featuring an unprecedented volume of pre-rendered 3D graphics, and incorporating adult content. Boasting significant success, The 7th Guest sold over two million copies and, alongside Myst, is recognized as a pivotal application that fueled the adoption of CD-ROM drives. The game has been reissued on Apple's app store for various platforms, including the Mac.
Subsequently, The 7th Guest has been adapted to diverse systems through various ports, and Trilobyte has indicated the potential development of a third installment in the series.
