This is a walkthrough, strategy, and solutions guide to the puzzle video game "The 7th Guest", for the Personal Computer (PC) DOS format. It has many gray-scale screenshots, illustrations of production art, and even development screenshots of camera angles not seen in the game. The first part of the book has a narritive story of the game and mentions the games puzzles and when and where they are encountered. The original game script by Matthew J. Costello is in the next section. The thrird scetion has the solutions to all the puzzles in the game. The last two sections of the book have an interview with the games creators Graeme Devine and Rob Landeros, and some of the documents they used while making the game, including a few production images. The story of the game is that of a haunted house and a man that finds himself inside not knowing how he got there, as he solves puzzles he is visited by a variety of ghosts and learns more about the houses former owner Henery Stauf and how he created haunted dolls that caused children to die, and a party he gave that had six guests, of whom he would give their wish if they gave him what he wanted. Using the puzzles the player fights these ghosts and later Stauf himself in order to get out of the house safely.
