Seventh Guest

Seventh Guest was a popular video-based puzzle series game, not unlike Fool's Quest, which served as a conceptual precursor to Myst. Seventh Guest was a fairly elegant horror story told from the unfolding perspective of you, the player, as an amnesiac during a haunting. A moderately complex plot of manipulation and sin is played out by surprisingly talented actors through film clips as you progress between rooms by solving various puzzles of shifting nature and increasing difficulty. Two sequels, the first of which is the notoriously bad 11th Hour, exist, and a variety of platform updates and ports of the original exist.
