MAC AND THE MAD MANSION

Mac and the Mad Mansion is a point and click puzzle game that was created in 2018 by Alex Oviatt (art and writing) and Zach Levine (programming). It was coded in BASIC and all the art and animation are real paper drawings that we scanned into the computer, including all the animation.

Playing as Mac, you venture into your neighbor’s spooky mansion after hitting your baseball into their backyard. There are three different stories in the game, one for each floor. The ground floor involves getting the ball back, the upstairs has you meet aliens and stop an alien invasion, and the basement is filled with ghosts, ghouls, and of course, and monster clown named Nicklesmartz.

Many years later, we would return and morph this idea into what is now Night at the Ray Family Funhouse.
