The beginning of the intro featuring our hero, Carl Denning, played by Douglas O’Keeffe.Īnd every time you solve a riddle, you’re awarded a short cutscene, usually depicting Robin’s investigation before her disappearance (later in the game, it also shows Carl’s adventure in the mansion). And there are also a lot of “red herring” objects you can interact with. The 11th Hour, just like its predecessor, uses logical puzzles to advance the plot, but with an added element to the gameplay: 1st you receive a riddle by Stauf in the GameBook referring to any object in the mansion, then you have to find and interact with said object to solve the riddle, but every time you enter a new room, you can’t interact with any object whatsoever until you solve the puzzle located in a said room to “unlock” the objects and the rest of the room. Carl arrives at Stauf’s mansion and after solving a riddle via the GameBook to open the mansion’s door, the game properly starts.

Carl then goes to Harley-on-the-Hudson, where Robin was last seen while remembering their last interaction.

The game starts with a long intro cutscene introducing our main characters: Carl Denning, the host of the TV show “Cases Unsolved” and its producer Robin Morales. Yes, I understand if some people find it too simplistic, but the use of the baby doll’s head along with the strings and the colour red in a black background, makes it look more ominous, fitting for a horror-themed game.Īnd now, as always, let’s boot this child of the night: Luckily, the European version is a bit better: I see where Trilobyte was going with this, but I find it very confusing. This is the US cover and apart from the title, which looks cool, it’s a bit of a mess with several clocks, wires and remains of a baby doll. Graeme Devine, Trilobyte’s main designer and programmer, created a new video compression program called Wavelet and updated the Groovie engine used in The 7th Guest specifically for this game (which would later be used in subsequent Trilobyte titles).īut, as always, before we take a look at the game, let’s first look at the covers: It was ported to Macintosh in 1997 and re-released by Night Dive Studios in 2013 for Macintosh and Windows. It was originally released in 1995 for DOS. The 11th Hour is an adventure game developed by Trilobyte and published by Virgin. Well, it’s Halloween! So, ghosts, goblins and other things that go bump in the night, today we’re going to take a look at the sequel of my very 1st horror-themed review, The 7th Guest.
