The 7th Guest is an interactive movie puzzle adventure game, produced by Trilobyte and originally released by Virgin Interactive Entertainment in April 1993.[4] It is one of the first computer video games to be released only on CD-ROM. The 7th Guest is a horror story told from the unfolding perspective of the player, as an amnesiac. The game received press attention for making live action video clips a core part of its gameplay, for its then-unprecedented amount of pre-rendered 3D graphics, and for its adult content. The game was very successful, with over two million copies sold. The game alongside Myst, is widely regarded as a killer app that accelerated the sales of CD-ROM drives. The 7th Guest has subsequently been re-released on Apple's app store for various systems such as the Mac.[5] Bill Gates called The 7th Guest "the new standard in interactive entertainment".
The game has been ported in various formats to different systems, with Trilobyte mentioning the potential for a third entry in the series.[6][7]

By the time Virgin Games Inc. debuts the "Seventh Guest," its new video-game mystery, which cost $1 million to develop, it will have already conceded one market — Latin America. If not for a tough-minded distributor in the Far East, Virgin owner Sir Richard Branson — whose British empire includes luxury airliners, Nintendo cartridges, and his own investment bank — might concede the Asian market for the game, which is scheduled to be shipped this week.
