The 7th Guest was notable for being one of the first cd-rom only games for DOS. It was an atmospheric game with some challenging puzzles. And the obligatory cheesy acting as was usual for FMV games.
Recently a VR remake was released, so if you have a VR headset you might want to check it out. They changed up the puzzles so it’s not a one on one remake, and that makes it more fresh in my opinion. Though being able to just freely move and look around the Stauf mansion would have been enough for me.
That’s one thing held over from the original. Monster closets. Not the best design choice.
