Today, Trilobyte Games announced that they are working on the third recognized entry in The 7th Guest franchise, the second game being The 11th Hour. Trilobyte is the original developer of the first game which made its debut in 1993 in all of its interactive movie glory.

The team made the announcement alongside a new Kickstarter campaign to help fund development on The 7th Guest 3: The Collector.

In The 7th Guest: 3, Stauf's house is filled with 20 devilishly clever puzzles that will test wits--and scare even the most jaded gamers. The house is not only filled with puzzles, it is a puzzle; one gigantic, mechanical mind-bender. To complete the game and the story, players must solve every puzzle in the house and the puzzle of the house itself. Only then will the final, dreadful secret of that brilliant madman, Henry Stauf, be revealed.

While the gameplay of T7G3 will fairly closely follow that of The 7th Guest and 11th Hour, Trilobyte plans to thoroughly leverage touch-screen, mobile technology, and modern standards in video-game presentation to bring players the 7th Guest of their fondest dreams (and nightmares)! “We are committed to staying true to the spirit of the original 7th Guest,” said Landeros.

The new Stauf mansion will be rendered in beautiful high-definition, extensively renovated and furnished with hundreds of interesting new items.

They don't have a definitive price yet on how much the game will cost, but they're hoping it will be around $29.95 (USD) for PC and Mac. Development is expected to take about one year.
