Inspired by adventures

We've been making games since 1997 and have a particular love of retro adventure games. We develop games in-house and try and help publish others. We also work on audio and music, so let us know if you need a soundtrack. We've worked with a lot of talented people and hope to continue to bring their excellent creations to your desktop...

History of Screen 7

Back in the 90's when we were kids some of the most popular games of the era included point and click adventure games. Of course, we loved all kinds of games and it wasn't long before 3D really took over and became mainstream. Inspired by the games industry a bunch of friends designed simple game projects as a hobby.

Staying creative and objective

Screen 7 isn't all about "old school point & click adventures". We hold events, make music, sometimes videos and films - and are constantly looking for new challenges and ways to be a better business. We're always looking to help others and have a number of schemes to accomplish this.

Digital distribution

We sell DRM free games from our website and promotional game websites. If you have a game in production, we can help you get it finished, distribute it over the internet, reach lots of potential buyers and give you a fair percentage on profits (up to 80%). Interested? Contact us right away!

What about hard copies?

We can produce single or multi-disc sets, Screen 7 or you can supply the artwork and disc contents and our payment processor handles the rest. DVD's can be shipped worldwide for free, but there is a minimum price. We can also help with manuals/documentation. We grade our games as follows:

PREMIER GAMES
  Voice pack, characters should be fully voiced
  Translations where possible, it should offer multiple languages
  Quality graphics, strong atmosphere, sounds & music
  Gameplay exceeding 5 hours

BUDGET GAMES
  Strong writing, developed characters
  Good atmosphere with sound effects & music
  Gameplay roughly 1-5 hours

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. We do everything possible before releasing a game to be sure it won't crash and apologize if you have found an error. We will try to fix it for an update.

  Download not working/a problem with my order or payment

If the download does not complete or you have similar problems, or any order or payment related questions please get in touch with us. We also do our best to resolve any issues within 7 working days.

  Hints and tips

Perhaps you're stuck in one of the games, need a hint or some tips to keep you progressing? Feel free to get in touch and we'll try and provide you with some pointers!

Please remember to tell us which game you're playing, your transaction ID if applicable and any error messages you may encounter when you get in touch! We aim to respond within 48 hours. Due to volume of email we typically only reply to support/business matters.

The demo is just around the corner, and will be available from Saturday 15th September 2012.

We play a selection of new music, tracks from our games and feature music from friend's projects. Do you have a track for us? Get in touch! For August, we asked people to send us their original tracks, no holds barred...

Now Playing

Late winter and we have a short trailer for Downfall that was made for its release at Desura, and a newly released panel video from AdventureX 2012.

Fantastic news recently as The Cat Lady was approved by Steam in a big push to release games. It took a while for us to get through the next steps, but now the game is undergoing achievement insertions and trading cards and all those wonderful bits and bobs Steam users crave. We anticipate the game to be ready for sale there sometime in November. Thank you to everyone who upvoted the game and helped us get there!

We're also pleased to announce that we will soon be publishing Midian Design's game catalog, 5 point and click adventures including Doc Apocalypse and Oz Orwell: The Crawling Chaos. What's more is we will be upgrading them to feature voice acting, so we're currently in the process of casting & recording for those.

We're thankful for everyone who has made a purchase via Screen7.co.uk in recent weeks or months.

You may have also noticed we now accept credit card payments without the need to sign up to PayPal.
