The 7th Guest (Remake)

"'No one knows what'll happen next. There's no one left to say.""But if you should come across Old Man Stauf, get on your knees and pray.'""- Release tagline"The 7th Guest, also referred to as The 7th Guest: New Party, is a first-person survival horror game concept by Red-Verse-Writer, a remake of the revolutionary 1993 interactive movie puzzle game The 7th Guest. Taking place during the events of "the party" rather than afterwards like in the original, the player takes on the role of Tad, a simple boy who enters the seemingly abandoned Stauf Manor on a dare from his friends only to find that he cannot leave afterwards. Finding that six guests have been invited into the mansion by its long-thought to be dead owner, Old Man Stauf, he is forced to avoid and fight back against them and demonic creatures inhabiting the manor as he solves puzzles in a effort to try and escape from Stauf Manor.

Gameplay
The player takes on the role of Tad, a young teenage boy who entered a seemingly abandoned mansion on a dare to then become trapped in it, from a first-person perspective as he searches for a way to escape the manor. In addition to exploration and having to defend themselves from demonic humanoids and the six guests of the manor, the player must also solve puzzles in order to progress further and unlock new rooms, items or information. Throughout the game, the voice of the game's main antagonist, Henry Stauf, frequently speaks omni-presently, taunting the player with clues, mocking the player whenever they fail his puzzles ("We'll all be dead by the time you solve this!"), and expressing displeasure when the player succeeds ("Don't think you'll be so lucky next time!").

Throughout the game, the player comes across demons who serve as the primary foes of the player, and the six "guests" of the manor, who pursue the player until they are avoided or escaped from, and can only be temporarily incapacitated if engaged in combat. A regular teenager with no real-life combat experience, Tad cannot sustain many blows from enemies and his aim, and thus the player's targeting of enemies, is often unsteady. The game emphasises stealth and exploration over action, although combat is still often necessary when wandering the manor. Tad acquires multiple firearms throughout the course of the game, including a revolver, hunting rifle, shotgun, crossbow and submachine gun, although ammunition is scarce. He can also use a baseball bat as a melee weapon, although it has a low range and damage threshold.
