It is a "3D Adventure" that maintains a point-and-click adventure game interface mixed with action elements and RPG combat. They're old games but there are easy solutions out there that don't require manually setting up DOSBox.King's Quest VIII: Mask of Eternity (aka King's Quest: Mask of Eternity, King's Quest 8: Mask of Eternity, King's Quest VIII, and abbreviated as KQ8 ) is an action adventure game developed and published by Sierra Studios on November 24, 1998, and it is the eighth and final game in the original King's Quest series by Roberta Williams (it was neither intended to be a spinoff nor a reboot ). I can't remember if this game saves to the Steam Cloud or not, but it should be easy enough to copy/paste your saved games folder to a backup if it doesn't. If all else fails, then unfortunately a reinstall might be in order. King's Quest VII DOS Movies (KQ7_DOS_Movies) This is the file you would be looking for: They're available at the linked website as well. You could also try installing JUST the video files. I might try reapplying the patch, but this time there should be an option on the patch installer to download and apply DOS video files for KQVII.
VII is the only KQ game that has this issue I believe as the other 6 should already have the correct DOS video files installed. Since old DOS games were unable to utilize MPEG format, the game needs a different format video in order to play movies, otherwise it may want you to insert the CD in order to play the video (cutscene at the beginning).
Just a guess but it sounds like you may need to install the DOS video files.
