A brief history of the game
At first there was Midnight Mansion, now often called MM1. This game package was for Mac only and contained 8 mansions, each on easy, normal and hard level. Above that there was a builder included, so that customers could design mansions themselves.
Then there was Midnight Mansion HD, now abbreviated as MM1 HD for both Mac and Windows. It contained the 3x8 mansions from MM1 plus 3x a bonus mansion: Tomb of Princes. All in high definition!
Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills, includes 28 mansions with a lot of new features. The 8 built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. Yes indeed, the MM2 package also has an included builder to create mansions!

Custom mansions

In the past decades several customers started experimenting with the builders. Creating rooms. Talking about it on the Midnight Mansion Forums. Sending their own designed mansions to other board members to test them. And finally sending them to the administrators of MMF.
Result? Nearly 200 extra mansions are downloadable from these boards and some of them have over 100 rooms.
If you like to download custom mansions, go to the General Custom Mansions Area (Mac and Windows) where you find the lists with all the download spots.

A new future for mansions?

Undecided

Like so many previous custom mansions, also
Immortal Ruins
has a few nice novelties. As earlier said: windmill-fishbones, a shivering skeleton, ...

But I also saw something else that, strictly seen, is NOT a novelty. In a matter of fact, I already saw it in the very first mansion I ever played: Falcon Manor. But, in
Immortal Ruins
it has been widely exposed as a new feature by SandyBean.

What am I talking about? Well: TWO kinds of secrets! Like in all other mansions, there is a number of official secrets, that with good play leads to 100 % secrets at the finish. As far as I know, all those secret-areas in IR are hinted, although in a whole variety and sometimes pretty subtile. But besides that, spread over the complete mansion, there are also a lot of hidden coins to be found. So finding all BLUE SECRETS is one thing, but getting the perfect amount of dollars, that is an other job.

Now, what is the importance of that, in my opinion? To begin with, it gives much more exploration fun. In the sense, that although one has finished a mansion with succes (100 %) he/she has more than enough reasons to restart this mansion. But there is also something else, which is only important for the included mansions. To become number 1 on the world high scores list of a mansion, a player would have to do more than only know the trick about cheating with the playingtime!

Hey Freddy,

can you or anyone make the best Mansion coming to the High Score List? That would be a nice idea or not? Embarrassed
