A drifter named Henry Stauf kills a woman to steal her purse, beginning a series of deplorable acts. The game begins with a flashback to 1935 in the town of Harley-on-the-Hudson. The game's POV footage of walking through the house was originally planned as a live-action video in a practical set, but the idea was abandoned after pre-rendered 3D sequences proved feasible and more cost-effective. This game, along with LucasArts' Star Wars: Rebel Assault and BrГёderbund's Myst, helped promote the adoption of CD drives, which were not yet common. Removing some of the large movies and videos wasn't an option as they were essential to the gameplay. Computer Gaming World reported with amazement in 1993, 'not only does Guest consume an entire CD-ROM.

The first two times the book is consulted about a puzzle, the book gives clues about how to solve the puzzle for the third time, the book simply completes the puzzle for the player so that the player can proceed through the game. For players who need help or simply cannot solve a particular puzzle, there is a hint book in the library of the house. Other puzzles include mazes, chess problems, logical deductions, Simon-style pattern-matching, word manipulations, and even an extremely difficult game of Infection similar to Reversi that utilizes an AI (and would later go on to make an encore appearance in the sequel). The first puzzles most players encounter are either one where players must select the right interconnected letters inside the lens of a telescope to form a coherent sentence or a relatively simple cake puzzle, where the player has to divide the cake evenly into six pieces, each containing the same number of decorations. When one coffin is selected, that one, and some of its adjacent ones, open or close.ДЄ plot of manipulation and sin is gradually played out, in flashback, by actors through film clips as the player progresses between rooms by solving twenty-one puzzles of shifting nature and increasing difficulty. One of Stauf's many puzzles: This one requires Ego to close all of the coffins. The game has since been ported in various formats to different systems, with Trilobyte mentioning the potential for a third entry in the series.

Bill Gates called The 7th Guest 'the new standard in interactive entertainment'.

The 7th Guest has subsequently been re-released on Apple's app store for various systems such as the Mac. In addition, the game was very successful, with over two million copies sold, and is widely regarded as a killer app that accelerated the sales of CD-ROM drives. The game received a great amount of press attention for making live action video clips a core part of its gameplay, for its unprecedented amount of pre-rendered 3D graphics, and for its adult content. The 7th Guest is a horror story told from the unfolding perspective of the player, as an amnesiac.

It is one of the first computer video games to be released only on CD-ROM.
