For the first video game explored in this season we take a look at the classic The 7th Guest! In addition to being an FMV staple, this game pushed the boundaries and technologies for PC gaming in the early 90's. I'll look at how the game came into being, the challenges it faced in production, and Michaela from Drink the Movies stops by to help me get the last doors opened with a Skeleton Key cocktail!
