For those unfamiliar with The 7th Guest, it was a supernatural mystery puzzle game that captivated audiences in the 90s. The game invited players to explore a haunting mansion where six guests had been summoned by the enigmatic and wealthy toymaker, Henry Stauf. Each room housed a unique puzzle, and upon solving it, players witnessed ghostly videos depicting the fate of the unfortunate guests. As we stay faithful to the original story, we have expanded upon the characters, delving deeper into their backgrounds to enhance the overall narrative.

For instance, the original cake puzzle is iconic with its sickly green glazing and skull and tombstone motif, but it was also in essence a 2D-puzzle and we wanted to add that third dimension to it. We stuck with the same principle where you need to make groups out of the pieces. But by placing it on a cylinder that you could rotate it became more tactile and also a bit more challenging as you couldn't ever see the entire layout at once. For those feeling peckish, there might still be some cake to be found.

We came up with a fun way to move life-size bookcases around the room. It also gives a nice sense of progression as you start in the Library without any books and by the end you bring it back to its original bookshelved glory.

We invite you to immerse yourself in this hauntingly beautiful world, where mysteries await and puzzles beg to be solved. Stay tuned for more updates, our next one will go into the behind the scenes of Volumetric capture. The future of VR gaming is upon us, and The 7th Guest VR promises to be an experience you won't soon forget. -Vertigo Games https://store.steampowered.com/app/2456960/The_7th_Guest_VR/
