- The 7th Guest VR Re-imagining: Writing A Modern Classic 🖊📜 - 23 September 2023
Being the writer of The 7th Guest VR is a distinct privilege. I am incredibly proud of not just my role but the hard work of the entire Vertigo Games team. To reboot the 1993 classic PC experience by Trilobyte and Virgin Interactive Entertainment is an honor and responsibility I did not take lightly. Fans are going to see so much of what they love about the original game, that melding of the classic haunted house dinner party genre with the video game form, resulting in something wholly original. Honestly, we had the same challenge that had to have been faced by the original team: how do we write something that feels modern and relevant but also fits into the 1920s/1930s time period that makes this concept so exciting to our audience? Threading that needle is how you make a classic. And our hope is that this iteration of The 7th Guest will be a worthy successor to the original. Replayin…

- Not With A Whimper... But With A Scream! - 18 August 2023
This week's dev update comes directly from the mind behind our eerie and atmospheric audio director, Jonathan van den Wijngaarden, and a special note & video from The Fat Man - original composer of iconic 90s The 7th Guest PC Classic. 'Working on the 7th Guest VR has been an exciting experience. When the team at Vertigo approached me first, I felt both excited and slightly intimidated! The original game is such a legendary title and still holds a very dedicated fanbase even today. From the very first moment I’ve felt doing right to both the iconic work done by George (Sanger) and to the fans would be my very first goal. It quickly became clear that we’d be retelling the original story while adapting it for modern audiences and not in the least; the new platform. Music and sound should also follow this direction, and to me it felt doing a literal remake of the soundtrack would not do jus…
- Bringing The Past To Life: Volumetrics … More than meets the eye - 28 July 2023
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2456960/The_7th_Guest_VR/ In the depths of another eerie week, a dev post emerges, beckoning you to peer into the shadowy realms of the illustrious volumetric shoots. For those who remember, the original 7th Guest had a fun and engaging story told through full motion video. In those bygone days, the animated pre-rendered graphics and full motion video were absolute technological breakthroughs, made possible in part by the availability of cd-rom drives. In our VR version we want to give that same sense of awe by putting the players inside the beautifully real-time rendered mansion and show the ghostly videos with a special 3d technology called Volumetric video. This technology allows players to experience the ghostly flashback from all sides, and as close as possible, in a way only possible in VR. Since projecting anything on a flat plane in VR simply f…

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. Moreover, we have meticulously redesigned the puzzles from the ground up, ensuring that each one takes full…

The game garnered millions of fans globally due to its impressive pre-rendered 3D graphics, mature narrative, and use of live-action video clips to enhance its storytelling.
