Here's a list of different places you can chat about this series of games. We're a bit divided, but the fans are out there!

!stauf_mansion@lemmy.mods4ever.com - This Lemmy community, you're here right now! If you need a Lemmy account then go here and make the account. (Sorry, my server is too weak!) If you already have a Mastodon account (and you're feeling brave/technical) then you can put @stauf_mansion@lemmy.mods4ever.com into the search box there and follow that account.

https://discord.gg/Hss5cJg - Stauf's Mansion Discord. Pretty active with a good number of fans. ALSO HAS Stream Detective so you can find people streaming these games on Twitch! Very fun to watch people fumble through the puzzles for the first time and chat with them, just be careful with backseating. Make sure you assign yourself the roles to get notifications for Stream Detective, ask in there if you need help.

https://www.reddit.com/r/7thguest/ - Reddit community. Not very active, but with a good post or crosspost there could be people from outside the subreddit finding it.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/the13thdoll - Facebook group. Lots of fans for all the games here, very active.

https://mastodon.social/tags/the7thguest - Mastodon hashtag, you can follow hashtags on Mastodon so they automatically show up on your home feed, very handy! Also check the hashtags for#the7thguestvr, #the11thhour, and #the13thdoll and whatever else you want.

https://www.gog.com/forum/the_7th_guest_series - GOG Forum. Mostly tech support questions but there are a lot of fans there.

https://www.gog.com/forum/the_13th_doll_a_fan_game_of_the_7th_guest - again a GOG Forum but for The 13th Doll. Still mostly tech support questions.

https://www.twitch.tv/search?term=the%207th%20guest - Twitch categories so you can watch people playing the games live and chat with them (just be careful with backseating). Open each one and click Follow to add the game to your followed categories list. But honestly you're better off joining the Discord and using the Stream Detective inside there.

https://twitter.com/hashtag/The7thGuest?f=live - Twitter hashtag. Unfortunately you can't follow a hashtag on Twitter, so you gotta just check it manually. Also check hashtags for #the7thguestvr, #the11thhour (although there's some noise in there), #the13thdoll, and any other game you want. (Make sure to switch to the "Latest" tab instead of "Top")

Any other places with fans of the series? Let me know! I'm mostly hanging out here and in Discord, but I'll probably see you if you post to any of the others!

This shout-out filled episode features Matt Costello on the curious craft of writing for games. A prolific novelist, his career spans the length of our industry, from the genre-defining 7th Guest to huge hits like Disney Universe and DOOM3. A peek behind the Curtain of a lesser known, but fundamental aspect of #gamedev

We left a surprise for The Fat Man on this track...

For the track "The Final Hour," we asked George "The Fat Man" Sanger's daughter, Gwendolyn Sanger, to record the "voice mail" sample... and not tell her dad. This is his reaction video of listening to the track for the first time, not knowing that's his daughter doing the voice.

Ok I love you Stauf Mansion Fan, but the exclusion of "Downstairs" is inexcusable, I would've removed "Down in the Drain" for it. https://thefatmanandteamfat.bandcamp.com/track/downstairs

The 10 year anniversary of the channel was marked by a stream of a full motion video game with quite possibly the horniest main character ever. And it's not a fun kind of horny, it's an angry kind of horny. Well, let's enjoy(?) this '90s sexual psychodrama full of '90s ideas about sex and power.

some NSFW dialog and text, but I think all the actual nudity was censored here, at least in the Youtube video

The soundtracks of "The 13th doll" are awesome ! I present to you my 20 favorite musics from this game Thank you to Christ Bormend & Vulture Krane for their great work !

I figured we haven't had enough posts about The 13th Doll, and this game has a really great soundtrack!

Make sure to check out Stauf-Mansion-Fan's other videos https://www.youtube.com/@stauf-mansion-fan5489/videos

In my latest podcast, I interview Rob Landeros co-founder of Trilobyte Games and co-founder of Aftermath Media David Wheeler. Between them, they have been involved with such classic titles as The 7th Guest, The 11th Hour, Tender Loving Care and more.

We discuss their involvement with these titles, with new insights into their development and whether there is a possible continuation of the 7th Guest series.

This is a compilation of the paintings in "The 7th guest" and "The 11th hour". Can you help me to find more ?

Thanks to darkshoxx, die4ever2005, quickbrownfox42 and genebertram3833 for their help ! They found some of these paintings !
