The story unfolds as you must head for the mysterious Stauf Mansion in search of the show's missing producer who just happens to be your girlfriend as well.
The gameplay in The 11th Hour is somewhat similar to that of The 7th Guest, with a few twists to it. You will still have to explore the house and try your luck at the extremely complicated, hairpulling puzzles that the evil Stauf has conjured up, but unlike the first game, you are on a treasure hunt for items that Stauf has hidden in the mansion.
There are many different items to interact with, but to progress through the game you will need to click on the correct one. In order to do this successfully, you will have to use a small gamebook much like a computerized personal organizer. This is where you will not only load and save games, view the floorplan of the house and receive help on the puzzles if you become stumped, but also receive a small text clue leading you in the direction of the correct object you need to find in the house.
For example, your first text clue in the game is "winter coat; used for a mixer. If you have figured it out, you will soon be on your way, searching through the mansion for a bottle of tonic water.
Once you find the object, you will be able to watch a small segment of video via the gamebook that will reveal a little bit of the story at a time. When you have successfully completed your task of solving all the puzzles in the house and finding the correct items, you will be able to piece together the story and find out the answers to a lot of the unsolved questions in the game.

Will you find Robin and unearth Stauf's fate at last? If you're taking this game as an easy task, then you'd better check again. The 11th Hour features some of the industry's hardest puzzles. You will find yourself referring to your laptop for clues more often than not. Incidentally, the laptop is an essential part of the game. This device lets you replay scenes and serves as a middleman between your character, old man Stauff, and the guide who helps you solve the riddles.
Graphically, the game is very well constructed. All the game's scenery consists of pre-rendered backgrounds. The characters themselves are digitized actors pasted in these rendered worlds. While the two have major conflict problems, it doesn't really seem all that bad. Sound-wise, The 11th Hour does its part well.
Eerie sound effects and tons of ambient musical undertones will leave you with the chills. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
Bottom line: The 11th Hour is, at best, a mediocre title that will satisfy some and leave others looking elsewhere.
