Unfinished. A demo (?)

The game sets a great atmosphere in the beginning. As for an old adventure gamer it brought me back "Deja Vu" or "Midnight Nowhere" vibes immediately. We wake up somewhere, some time, with no clue what's going. Then I expected the history and the story to unfold... and nothing really happened. When the end title shows up it's clear that the writer/creator had no idea where to go with this game. Graphics is OK. But no one should listen to me on this, because if the story is immersive and well written, then I'm okay with 8-bit text adventure graphics. The puzzles are... various in the matter of clarity. Some of them wasn't clear at all. As of writing this review the game is priced at 9.99 EUR and discounted to 3.99. In my opinion the fair asking price for this game should be somewhere around 0.75 EUR.

Rather nice, short but NO KEY REBINDING!

Seriously, even in 2016 games had key rebinding for decades! I substracted 2 stars for this alone, because I normally don't use WASD, and also because some of the addintional keys like Z and X for some additional functions were very inconvenientl placed. Thus, I was very annoyed by the controls the whole time playing this game. The extremely slow movement without a run key (that I could find) also added to a very tedious experience. The game is very short and consists only of a handful of rooms and one other location that is very annoing and tedious in its own regard (I don't say more to avoid spoilers.) Apart from these fun-breaking flaws, The Guest is quite a nice if overall mediocre puzzle game that seems more like a demo than a full game because of its short play time and very small locations. I'd recommend to buy it on a heavy sale like 70+%.

Nice Game

I wanted puzzles without horror ambiance, I wanted a bug free game which is playable in some hours or days, without having to worry about any DLC which I do not have, and have to buy. I wanted an adventure game. And I got it with gog.com and The Guest. Great background sound, no big performance hunger and easy puzzles. Yes go ahead buy this one, I reccommend it. It worked for me.

Poor Prequel to The 7th Guest

The later entry in the series is much better.

Not a fan

I think the game is a little too much on the horror-side. And it is like nearly impossible too figure anything out without a walkthrough.
