A remastered version of a rather famous game called The 7th Guest has arrived onto Android today in a special 20th Anniversary Edition. This release is also an Android exclusive, which is nice to have for a change. Originally released by Trilobyte Games in 1993, it won a number of awards between 1993 and 1994, ending up as the #1 rated game for 1994. Now that the game has turned twenty, it has been completely remastered and released onto Google Play today.

For those of you not familiar with this game, The 7th Guest has players taking on the role of an active and mysterious entity known only as "Ego". You have no idea what your purpose is, who you are, or why you even exist. However, you learn all of this as you progress through the game which is located in Stauf mansion. In total you will have to work your way through 22 different rooms, each one containing a puzzle that you have to solve.

The 7th Guest Features:

- Groundbreaking use of full-motion video and dialogue recorded by live actors in a terrifyingly virtual environment.
- Bizarre puzzles to solve and games to play.
- 22 stunningly rendered, devilishly surprising, 3-D rooms await you in this fully explorable haunted mansion

20th Anniversary Edition Features:

- Totally new, much praised, game play controls that were built from the ground up for touch-screens.
- Completely new game menus and save/load system
- Four Music options: The praised, orchestrated, music score remastered or the original score in Midi recording, General Midi or Adlib
- Much improved voice acting audio and all-new, optional subtitles
- A stunning new HD graphic mode that up-scales the game beautifully to high-resolutions.
- 27 Achievements to earn and share with your friends

While the visuals have been remastered, players have the option to match up the original soundtrack to the game or the new remastered musical score. The voice acting is all in tact but there is also a new subtitles mode available as well. On top of that, the controls have been completely redesigned for better gameplay. This 20th Anniversary Edition also comes with a slew of extras including 19 deleted scenes and 33 deleted audio parts, 36 song soundtrack, the original 7th Guest novel,the original game script, The Stuaf Files booklet, and the original game manual. If you really want to go all retro, you can switch the graphics back to the way they were when the game was originally released.

If you played the original release, whether that was the 1993 version or the subsequent releases since then on other platforms, Android will be the only platform to get the 20th Anniversary Edition which comes with all of these extra features. You can pick up this game off of Google Play for $3.99 with no IAPs.
