About Us

Inspired by adventures (1995-2001) "Young, ethusiastic bunch of 90s computer nerds"

In the early to mid 90s, with the rise of the personal computer (PC) in the UK - schoolfriends Mark, Chris, Owain & Adrian created QBasic games & software. After various collaborative efforts (such as Danger Zone and Impact Entertainment) it was 1997 when Mark solidified Screen 7 as a videogame studio "plan". With an interest in point & click adventures and lots of inspiration during the LucasArts hey-dey, Screen 7 endeavoured to produce similar intrigue with projects like "Broken Glass". But DOS, floppy disks & Pentium 486s would be consigned to history.

Branching out (2001-2011) "Or; getting distracted by pretty things"

With the advent of dial-up internet at the turn of the millenium, Screen 7 strengthened its plans with an online website. Discovery of the Adventure Game Studio community, QBasic programming was dropped in favor of the more streamlined process in the AGS engine by Chris Jones. During this period, alongside writing for some time an ezine (AGDzine) for adventure developers, Screen 7 focussed on providing MIDI music to other game designers including Yahtzee, Mike Doak and Rodekill. In 2006 our Fountain of Youth fan-game demo was widely praised.

Exploring options (2012-2017) "The viability of taking something so far"

With a desire to use the knowledge and experience gained to this point and exlpore other avenues, Screen 7 began trading as a small publisher, helping other AGS developers bring their games to a wider audience - including The Cat Lady and The Samaritan Paradox. Probably the most notable period in its history to this point, Screen 7 also started the AdventureX event that sees adventure game developers unite with game demonstrations and talks - and continues to this day in London, England. But all of these side projects were taking their toll on the primary goal...

The winning formula (2018-????) "Twenty years too late"

With a move to the Unity engine and a keen itch to return to the very reason Screen 7 was founded all those years ago - focus has shifted back to in-house game development. With creations Dumbass Drivers! and Mr. Maze leading the way, a new era of original games, interesting stories & fun adventures lay ahead. Screen 7 is and has always been as much of an evolving hobby and educational experience as it has any kind of company - so thank you for your patience & support! :)

Troubleshoot

Having problems with our games or installers? Be sure to "Run as administrator" if you are experiencing graphic, interface or sound issues. Also if using a laptop please ensure it is set to "High performance battery" mode. If neither solve the issue, please refer to the following:

Most of our games require DirectX 9.0 to play. Sound & graphics issues may occur without it.

Problem initializing graphics mode If you have an error "This graphics mode is not supported" then you'll need to adjust the screen settings for the game. Go to "game configuration" from your Start menu or find the folder with the game files and run "winsetup.exe". From there, lower or raise the "graphics filter" and click "Save and run" to try again. Note: Not all our games allow this adjustment.   Sound or music not playing Using the "game configuration" or by running "winsetup.exe" from your game files folder, you can also adjust the primary source for playing back sound and music. You may need to use the option to "Disable MIDI" with some soundcards. Also check your speakers are not muted.   Problems with the Windows/start menu shortcut We advise re-installing the game, new shortcuts will be created.   Game crashes Oops, sorry! If you saw an error message before or after the game crash, please make a note of it and get in touch with us.

Soundtracks

We are passionate about the music in our games and have released several soundtracks for your listening pleasure!

Tales - Original Videogame Soundtrack (45:55) Included with game  

Luigi Di Guida, a talented Italian composer has created over 50 minutes of original music for upcoming point & click game Tales. He has paid particular attention to give the music well presented themes for different locations in the game.

You can hear 2 tracks via the radio player below!

Just over 50 minutes of powerful vocal tracks and themes from The Cat Lady will stay with you well after you've listened.

The Cat Lady - Ultimate Original Videogame Soundtrack (72:22) $2.49  

The Cat Lady Ultimate Original Soundtrack is an enhanced version of the OST, featuring 44 tracks. All the original music is by micAmic, a fine set of different moods.

CEO Message

Welcome to the Screen 7 website!

It works fine in Chrome...you may need to refresh it occasionally in some other browsers if the top menu acts a bit funny! Sorry about that.

Since our last major update, we've released Downfall remake - thank you to everyone who pre-ordered a copy here and has since bought it! The game has been quite well received and has certainly been a good release from our point of view. No more than a month or two after its release, R. Michalski began working on a new game called Lorelai. Although little information is known about the game right now, you can be certain to see a page here soon, Steam Greenlight and other media popping up (especially on our Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages!). Both Screen 7 and Harvester Games appreciate your support!

We've noticed that the prices of our products sometimes fluctuate through the Humble Widgets. We've set them to show you the price in your country, but this means the price fluctuates according to the dollar equivalent (Humble's main currency). We apologize if some of the prices don't match the pages on the site - we are checking them at least every fortnight to be sure they match the prices listed on this site. We now have a couple of games on the Humble Store itself and our full catalogue continues to be supported fully on Steam. Wherever you buy our games from - thank you!

It's almost time for Tales, a brand new game by Ape Marina! It's actually been quite a tricky one to work with and we've spent the last few months voicing it (thanks to Elissa for her editing work) and its translations (thank you to Alexander, Julien, Konni & Andrea+co) along with all its Steam items. We aim to have it released on November 14th, so very soon - and there's still a few things left to do! But the game is a really charming & memorable traditional point & click adventure and thank you to everyone who has been keeping a keen eye on its release. Visit the Premier Games section from the menu above and check the Tales page - you can now pre-order the game!

I have been working on Kinky Island and Dumbass Drivers in small pockets of time between Tales and Downfall duties. Both games have seen good progress, but it won't be until after Tales release that I can start to dedicate the majority of my time to completing them.

Thank you for visiting and being interested in what we do! Til next time...
