FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mystery House Returns: The Game That Started It All Comes Back to Life in
Full 3D
May 5, 2025 — 45 years to the day after the original release of Mystery House, one of the
most influential adventure games in history is being reimagined for a new generation.
From Marcus Mera, a producer on the Colossal Cave revival and a long-time advocate for
preserving gaming history, comes a full 3D remake of Mystery House, redesigned as an
immersive, atmospheric horror-adventure for PC and PC-VR headsets.
Developed by Guillotine Games, an independent studio dedicated to reviving and reinventing
the classics, Mystery House brings the original’s groundbreaking spirit into the modern era.
Every room, drawer, and puzzle has been rebuilt with meticulous detail. Designed for both
first-person and VR players, the entire house is interactive—the tension is real, and the secrets
are deadly.
"Mystery House isn't just a remake—it’s a resurrection," said Mera. "We’re honoring
the legacy of Ken and Roberta Williams while giving fans something entirely new to
explore."
Guillotine Games is the vision of Marcus Mera, who previously played a key role in bringing
Colossal Cave back to life alongside Ken and Roberta Williams. The studio focuses on
narrative-driven, genre-blending projects that pay tribute to the golden age of PC gaming while
pushing immersive storytelling into the future.
The game is planned for release in late 2025. A teaser trailer and Steam page are now live.
