'''The 7th Guest''' was the first game to be released by [[Trilobyte]], and the first to use the [[Groovie]] engine. The introduction tells the story of Stauf, a toy-maker who builds a mansion, and then the user takes control of a character (referred to as Ego), who has no idea who he is or how he got there, as he solves the puzzles in Stauf's mansion to discover the truth about what happened there. | '''The 7th Guest''' was the first game to be released by [[Trilobyte]], and the first to use the [[Groovie]] engine.
