We'd like to inform you that on Friday, March 1st we will be removing The 7th Guest from our offer due to publisher request. Everyone who already purchased it or will purchase prior to delisting will keep the game in their GOG library.
We do hope to bring the game back to GOG.COM.
Wow that is a weird delisting. I would recommend people getting this if they have any interest in early cd tech games.

Wonder if the sequal will be going as well soon.
Only 7th Guest and not 11th Hour? Huh, how strange...
I honestly can't remember if I have actually play this game to its ending. Some of the puzzles are quite weird. But I do enjoy watching the making of video included as a a bonus here.
What possible reason could a publisher have to suddenly request a removal of a game from 1993? I have absolutely no idea...

My thoughts exactly. I find it generally strange to remove such old games upon publisher request. What can the issue be?
As a sidenote, the 13th Doll preorder page also has a GOG icon at the bottom ;)

Yet another remaster in the works?

That idea came into my mind too. Pull it now to prevent people buying it cheap, then reintroduce a remaster for $20?
Changing partners in search for new digital distributions and even a film... Seen on Trilobyte Games' twitter:

Nice, I hadn't heard of this one. I'll be picking it up once it lands on GOG, for sure.

Quote KS:
"Then a strange thing happened - we were contacted by the owners of The 7th Guest, and offered a licensing deal! If we can fund this kickstarter, thus proving we can market the game and build a community around The 13th Doll, they will allow us to sell the game commercially. It's an unprecedented deal - historically, we're not aware of a fan made project that was ever allowed to sell their game."

I was already wondering how they can sell a fan-game.
I guess, that answers that. ;)
No no no! Such a shame!!!
BTW, it's not a Leap Year, so that means tomorrow. :P

I guess I'll never understand why these threads don't get a blue dot ...
