| Name | Type | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unreal Engine 5 Rebuild | Presentation | The mansion is rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 as a real-time first-person environment, replacing the original's pre-rendered backdrops with continuous 3D rooms. | Vertigo Games / Vertigo Studios Amsterdam, 2026 remake |
| Volumetric Video Cast | Presentation | The live-action roles are captured as 3D volumetric video, so the guests and Stauf stand inside the rooms as figures with depth instead of playing on flat video panels. | Steam store description of the 2026 remake |
| Shifting Mansion | Exploration | The house rearranges itself around the player using forced perspective and optical illusions: corridors extend, doors lead somewhere else on the return trip, and rooms change between visits. | Review coverage of The 7th Guest Remake, June 2026 |
| Redesigned Puzzle Set | Puzzle Design | The remake does not carry over the 1993 puzzle solutions. | Vertigo Games / review coverage, June 2026 |
| Collectibles: Stauf Coins and Records | Collectible Layer | 88 collectibles are hidden through the mansion. | Collectible guides for The 7th Guest Remake, June 2026 |
| Hint and Insult System | Difficulty / Feedback | Stauf is an active narrator rather than a silent host: he insults the player after repeated failures on the same puzzle, and the game layers optional hints on top of that pressure so a stuck player can continue without leaving the puzzle unsolved. | Review coverage of The 7th Guest Remake, June 2026 |
| The 7th Guest VR Included | Package | The Steam release bundles The 7th Guest VR, Vertigo's 2023 virtual-reality reimagining of the same mansion, with the flat-screen remake. | Steam release notes and store listing, June 2026 |
