What Is The 7th Guest?:
May Contain Spoilers!
The story revolves around a man named Henry Stauf. Stauf was a no one; like so many during the Great Depression, he had no money, and became a simple drifter and thief. But one night, in the town of Harley-on-the-Hudson, he murdered a helpless woman on the way home from choir practice, beating her on the head with a hammer, so as to steal her purse. He was forced to sink even lower, truly a pathetic wretch. But, as he was sleeping later that night, he had a dream, a vision, of a doll so beautiful that he had to make it for himself. And he did, working without rest, until it was indistinguishable from the one in his dream. Afterwards, he went to a bar in town. The owner saw the doll and said his daughter would love it, and Stauf offered it to him. In return, the owner offered Stauf food and a place to stay.
That night, Stauf had another vision, and another, and another, and continued to build these toys just as he saw them, continually selling them for a tidy profit. Soon enough, he was able to open up a shop, because every child in the town and outside of it wanted a Stauf toy. "A Stauf toy is a toy for life," they said, and "no two are alike." Stauf's toymaking empire reached its zenith, however, when a mysterious virus started killing the children. Doctors did all they could, but nothing could be done to save them. Meanwhile, Stauf, acting upon one last vision, built for himself a large mansion; a strange mansion, one that frightened people.
He wasn't heard from again for quite some time, until one day, invitations were sent out to six individuals inviting them to stay at the Stauf mansion for the night, with promises of granting them their greatest, fondest wishes.
The game begins inside the house some time after the night of the "party", and puts players in the shoes of an unexplained protagonist known only as "Ego." Ego himself doesn't appear to know why he's there, or who he is, but as he explores the house, he witnesses ghostly reenactments of that fateful night so long ago, solving the same puzzles that the guests had to solve, as he tries to piece everything together.
After eating dinner, the guests read personalized messages from Stauf to them. He has arranged for them to play a "game." Throughout the house, there are puzzles and clues that show them what must be done to win, and subsequently, gain their greatest desire. All that Stauf is willing to tell them is that it involves another guest who hasn't arrived yet. As the guests explore the house, discerning its secrets, making alliances, and breaking them just as quickly, they all experience terrifying illusions that begin to put them all on edge. The seventh guest is revealed to be Tad, a young boy who sneaked into the house after being dared by his friends. Furthermore, they learn that Stauf wants one of them to bring Tad to him so that he can steal his soul. All of the toys that Stauf sold during his heyday were the source of the virus, and all of the children's souls are imprisoned inside of them. However, it was required that Stauf collect a certain number of souls, and so he brought the guests to his house so that they might bring Tad to him.
Four guests, Brian, Martine, Julia, and Edward, want to bring Tad to Stauf, caring more about their desires than Tad's life. But the other two guests, Edward's wife Elinor and Hamilton, wish to save Tad's life, and fight to protect him. As the night wears on, all the guests except Julia end up killing each other, and she eagerly takes Tad to the attic face to face with Stauf. Instead of granting her wish, Stauf regurgitates a pool of acid, which rapidly consumes a crying Julia. Stauf then grows a long, snakelike tongue which wraps around Tad, pulling him closer and closer. As he watches this, Ego realizes that he is Tad, and that he has seen all of this before, countless times, trying to save himself, but always failing, never beating Stauf, always forgetting everything he had learned, stuck in some sort of purgatory. But this time, he successfully fights off Stauf, saving Tad's (and his) life. Failing to gain the last soul, Stauf turns into a skeleton, and tentacles rise out of a fiery pit that's formed beneath him and drag him down into the blazing inferno. Tad thanks Ego for saving them, and Ego steps into a large ball of light that has formed in the room. The light fades, and the credits roll.
