We tried out The 7th Guest VR, which ingeniously reimagines a foundational 1993 PC classic as a modern escape room game.
We’re currently living in a golden age of video game remakes. Just this year, we’ve gotten industry-defining modern revisits of classics like Dead Space and Resident Evil 4. Though even more exciting is a much quieter wave of retro reimaginings that are polishing up foundational classics that newer audiences might not know. We got a new take on Colossal Cave in January and a solid System Shock remake in March, but the most fascinating project is still to come: The 7th Guest VR.
Escape mansion Upon starting The 7th Guest VR, it was immediately clear that I wasn’t in for a faithful 1:1 remake. I begin the demo on a shoddy boat, as I grab a paddle and push myself to a dock. There, I pick up a lantern, which I can shine on broken structures to fix them or reveal secrets. I use that to get into the original game’s haunted mansion, shining my light to repair a broken statue, snagging a gem out of its eye, and placing it in another statue to unlock a gate key.
That switch to VR does call for some radical reimagining, though. The original game’s puzzles are very much built with a flat screen in mind; it wouldn’t be all that exciting to flip cards or complete line puzzles in virtual reality. Instead, Vertigo Games has turned the mansion into a series of tactile escape rooms that are far more involved than anything in the original. I’d get to play one of those in my demo, which centered around a magician visiting the house.
