Like its predecessor game, The 11th Hour features the music of George \"The Fat Man\" Sanger and Team Fat.
Description
The game takes place 70 years after the events of the first game. Robin Morales, a big time TV reporter, comes to the village of Harley to investigate the early happenings at the Stauf mansion. Upon entering the house, however, she becomes trapped in yet another of Stauf's games. Her boyfriend, Carl Dennings, will strive to rescue Robin and will be controlled by the player.
Overall, the game plays exactly like its predecessor with the same puzzle-based game play structure. However, the game took on a radically new direction in terms of story and adult themes. Scenes depicting Robin Morales's romantic involvement with Dennings are present as well as other violent, gruesome, and disturbing shots. The game has a much darker and mature atmosphere in comparison with the first game.
Release
The 11th Hour was very late to market and failed to meet sales expectations upon its release. Also, at the time, Microsoft Windows had become the standard gaming platform for PCs however, the first release of this game was made specifically for MS-DOS resulting in many customers being unable to play it properly.

The 11th Hour won the following awards:
1995 New Media Invision Awards- Gold-Games Strategy/Puzzle;
1995 New Media Invision Awards- Bronze-Consumer Interactive Movies;
1995 International Cindy Competition- Honorable Mention - Consumer Games;

Trivia
Stauf is actually an anagram for Faust.;
The makers of the game originally intended for it to contain more adult content in its cut scenes; the script for the game (published as part of a walk-through guide) included several R-rated sex scenes. Rumors immediately surfaced that an \"uncut\" version of 11th Hour existed, leading to the game makers announcing that the R-rated sequences, though planned, were never filmed. However, this is not entirely true. A sequence appears in the game of a woman in a tight leather top, holding a dog on a leash. This top is actually CG, and the original sequence was filmed with the woman appearing topless.;
