Andy: You certainly made the best out of a tight budget. It seems like there was a lot of work involved in making this, but you don't have a high price point for the content. In fact, it's a very agreeable $4.99 for three days unlimited access. That's the equivalent of two nice cold beers down at the local bar! Why such a low price point?

Rory: It takes the same approach of renting a DVD from Blockbuster or any video store. You rent a movie and have to return it a couple days later. With MMM, you log in and a countdown timer begins. In MMM’s case, there is nothing to return so the customer is not inconvenienced by leaving their home.

Andy: There have been games similar to this in the past, especially in the early 1990's "FMV Boom", which didn't exactly meet worldwide praise. Were you aware of these earlier games, and how did you ensure that Mystery at Mansfield Manor didn't fall down the same pitfalls as earlier titles?

Rory: I did some research and I wanted to ensure before I embarked on this venture that there is a demand for interactive movies. I’m not familiar with FMV Boom, but in 2006 most households in North America have high-speed Internet access so Mystery At Mansfield Manor can be accessed quickly and conveniently.

Andy: The acting of the cast is particularly solid and believable, which, for me personally, really differentiates Mystery at Mansfield Manor from the earlier games of this genre. What did the cast members have in their auditions that the less successful applicants didn't? What made you choose them?

Rory: When I wrote the screenplay, I had the characters visualized in my mind. When the actors auditioned, I selected the ones who I felt best matched with my interpretations of each character.

Andy: Judging from the "Behind the Scenes" content on the site, you and the cast certainly seemed to enjoy themselves behind the scenes. Were there any amusing bloopers you'd like to tell us about? If so, will you put them online along with the game?

Rory: There will be a bloopers reel added to the Bonus Materials section in the future. It is in progress at the moment. I will also be adding a ‘media’ section that will include all of the interviews I have done as well as any reviews of Mystery At Mansfield Manor.

Andy: If you knew everything you knew now before you started creating Mystery At Mansfield Manor, what would you have changed and why? In retrospect are you happy with the way that the game turned out?
