The value story
Across all 33 discounts in the 8 years tracked, the median cut is 25 percent, about 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 35 percent on value. It is pricier than 65 percent of its genre. A Date in the Park (free, scores 69) outscores it, and so does STASIS: BONE TOTEM ($19.99, scores 73). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

I get to the menu, but when I click Load and select my name, i just get a black screen, and a dialog box says that The 7th Guest is not responding.
It's a very bad game. I don't know why it was so famous back in the day. I'd been putting off playing it for like 20 years and figured I'd play it while I was on vacation. Well... Now I know why I put off playing it so long. It's just really really bad. It's just a bunch of really boring terrible puzzles.
