The 7th Guest - A full motion video point and click adventure.
The 7th Guest - A full motion video point and click adventure.
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.

I would cross post this back, except the soundtrack for T7G VR was JUST released so that post is on top right now (also LGR is a bit negative about this game lol)
Yeah. You're the reason I got my headset. Thank you for bringing the 7th Guest VR to my attention! I got a rift S headset 2nd hand for cheap, and it works like a charm!
The arrival of CD-ROM meant it was mandatory for all games to have FMV if they needed to or not. It was the new law. 😆
I loved it, the more the CDs, the better. I remember being jealous of friends before I got my first CDROM because they could play the talkie versions of the classic LucasArts games.
I remember phantasmagoria having like 6 CDs or something. Our family borrowed it from someone. I was in awe of the eternally folding jewel case. It was the best game ever. Never played it since then, and I'm afraid to. It has been on my wishlist on GoG but I've been afraid to add it to the collection because of potential disappointment.
