Creation

September - October 2020

This level was built for use in the Garry’s Mod gamemode TTT; a spot-the-killer game similar to Werewolf or Among Us. This particular map was created with the intention of use only by a personal circle of friends, and is not to be released on the Steam Workshop. The Mystery Mansion map is the first of a series of maps each created in the Source Hammer editor with a self-imposed month-long deadline.

Inspiration

Inspiration for this map was primarily sourced from the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California. The house is intentionally built with winding corridors, non-sensical rooms, dead-end halls, and doors that open to drops. I was interested in mimicking this on a very small scale as I felt the twisted design and creepy vibes of a Winchester-inspired map would be perfect to exploit in the Traitor’s favor.

Functionalities

This map does not feature any major custom functionalities, but does have some small ones. These include Traitor-only interactions (a common feature of TTT maps) and a working jukebox included purely as a fun feature for my friends to interact with.
