Uncle Henry's Playhouse - Gameplay

Gameplay

Uncle Henry's Playhouse plays like the other two games in the series employing a simple point-and-click interface for 13 puzzles. The dollhouse that serves as the setting of the game includes 12 main rooms featuring puzzles from The 7th Guest, The 11th Hour, and Clandestiny (an unrelated title not in the 7th Guest series), an attic featuring an all-new 13th puzzle, and the foyer from which the player may access the guest book. Completing each puzzle in Uncle Henry's Playhouse automatically saves the game for the player allowing the player to quit at any time and then to start up again where he or she left off by signing in through the guestbook. Unlike the previous 11th Hour, there is no option to skip puzzles that the player finds too challenging although tips are available from the foyer. In addition to the new 13th puzzle, the game also features new graphics and sound effects, however the underlying concept of the 12 main puzzles are all reused from previous games.

The game also includes previews for two upcoming Trilobyte games, Tender Loving Care (eventually released by Aftermath Media) and Dog Eat Dog (never released).
