I am often a little suprised at the reviews some games get, but i can understand that everybody has different tastes so it does,nt bother me. But this has me stumped this is by far the worst adventure game i have ever played,i did,nt even play it exactly i actually used a wwalkthrough for the entire thing just so i could also make a review on the storyline and plot otherwise i would have stopped lpaying right there

Lets begin with the puzzles probably the lowest point of the game they are impossible for the player to solve for the most part Some of the more ridiculous ouzzles include finding a tiny rectangular metal plate on the ground its colour almost matches the ground making it even more impossible to find but there is absoloutly no indication that you have to find this metal reangle which then makes a clicking sound and you are now able to open a plaque on the wall which before if you tried clicking on it nothing would have happend not even a click to indicate it is locked but can be opened. In another puzzle you enter a bathroom and there is a hotspot on a part of the wall the entire wall is the same with no distinguishable features but for some reason there is a hotspot on just ONE part of the wall clicking on this NOTHING brings up a mirror(??) a mirror just appears in thin air with what appears to be the reflection of a drawer in the bathroom, but when you look the actual drawer has not opened only the drawer in the mirror image and you must open the drawer in the mirror image not the real One. hows that for ridiculous. Furthermore much of what you do you dont know why you you need to do that, it lacks purpose and logic.

As for the plot it leaves alot of unexplained questions one of the characters "two siamese twins" are seen seperate in one clip, this is never explained or even referenced ever again, there alot of things like that, and the character animations are just terrible they have no facial expression the character mephisto has a constant grin on his face and for some reason his arms are constantly flailing about the place as he talks, actually all the characters are like that. You will find nothing in this game, If i were a game develop giving a presentation on what NOT to do in an adventure game id bring this along as an example.

Great Game

This a fun adventure! I am new to adventure games and this was good. The puzzles were not too hard to figure out. I did have to cheat a little bit.

7 games of cool atmosphere and confusion

7 games of the soul is interesting enough if you enjoy puzzles solving games.The graphics are outdated, but the music is timeless. So it's six of one half a dozen of the other. If you enjoyed MYST, this is about the level of graphics MYST was, but without the LOGIC of the MYST puzzles. "7GOTS" consists mainly of hunting and pecking with your cursor finger, trying to accidentally roll-over the important spot on the screen that lets you know you can do something there. The main problem is, there is no real logic or pattern to the events and objects and things you are supposed to touch and move with the cursor. I found I was unable to get past certain points in the game due to the complete ridiculous nature of the thing you were supposed to do and thusly,I had to rely on hints from the internet. None of the puzzles seem make much sense in the problem-solving fashion, but if you have a lot of time on your hands and enjoy SLOWLY playing games, you might actually enjoy this. The music and the scenery are just cool enough to make this NOT a total waste of your time.It has a certain charm and dark appeal of some kind.
I am using the game on WINDOWS XP and I am not having trouble with the game function in that respect. It installed and played fine.No trouble with the animations or the basic game play. But my Mcaffe anti-virus program does pop up every time I try to save the game and says it removed a Trojan masquerading as another type of program. So, either it's incompatible with Mcaffe or it really includes a Trojan on the disc. Puzzling? YES!
I am inclined to think the Trojan might actually be there, because when I originally played this game, several years ago, I had a pc with windows 98 installed and there were also problems whenever I tried to save. I didn't have Mcaffe then, but something always went wrong when I tried to save, and this was a completely different computer and different game discs. So, you be the judge. Is it worth it to play this slightly interesting, but totally illogical out-dated game with possibly a STORED Trojan on the discs....?
I am beginning to wonder if I should finish the game a second time...but since it is very pretty and atmospheric to look at and has GREAT music, am I in an actual debate as to whether I should continue. Who knows, what danger lurks in the realms of the 7 games of the soul....
