The 13th Doll

While reading a Wiki entry of the 7th Guest some time ago, I discovered an unofficial (yet authorized) fan-based sequel to the franchise called the 13th Doll.

After it was apparent that the official development of the much delayed 7th Guest Part III: The Collector game had ended, a few global fans of the series decided to take matters into their own hands and create their own. (You can see a trailer of the Collector here. Even though it looks pretty cheesy now, being a hardcore fan of the original, I would still have purchased it!)

As you can see from the bottom image, the community of developers have to painstakingly recreate all of the game's assets from scratch. It's not a bad recreation considering they probably only have screenshots to work with. It's definitely a lot of work and my hats are off if they can finish what is essentially an unpaid, off hours project. Once completed, it will be distributed as freeware to avoid any potential copyright issues.

Great find Rob! I had no idea there was an official sequel to the 11th Hour in the works. The teaser looked pretty good to me, just the blue angel looked a little cheesy.

The 13th Doll looks great as well except it seems like based on their Windows 98 requirements its been in progress for quite some time and who knows when it will be released. They need a 3D modeler, you should apply!
