Legend has it that The 7th Guest’s creators were ‘fired’ on the spot after pitching the game—it’s ‘hyperbole,’ but not entirely untrue

The 7th Guest, a puzzle-adventure game released in 1993, required a CD-ROM drive and featured a unique mouse cursor design. A remake for VR headsets was launched in 2023, with a non-VR version set to release on June 4 on Steam. The game's creators, Paul van der Meer and Rob Landeros, founded Trilobyte Games after leaving Virgin Games to pursue their ambitious project. They used Autodesk's 3D design software to create the game's haunted interiors and iconic animated cursors, including the skull cursor. The remake incorporates modern technology, such as volumetric video, to enhance the immersive experience. Van der Meer proposed the remake idea to the CEO of Vertigo Games, leading to its development. The non-VR version will maintain the essence of the VR counterpart while introducing a new interface and redesigning one puzzle room for non-VR controls.

Windows 11 can now share audio to two Bluetooth headsets at once

Microsoft has introduced a new feature called "Shared Audio" for Windows 11, allowing two Bluetooth headsets to share audio simultaneously. This feature utilizes Bluetooth LE Audio technology, enabling two users to connect their Bluetooth audio devices to a single Windows PC and enjoy the same audio stream while independently adjusting the volume. The rollout of this feature is gradual, and users may not see it immediately after installing the optional update KB5089573. Compatibility requires both the PC and connected audio devices to support audio broadcasting. Additionally, the update includes an enhancement known as the Low Latency Profile to improve performance on Windows 11 devices.
