We sat down with David Van Es and Karl DeAngelo of Barrels of Fun to talk about their new pinball machine, Winchester Mystery House. Focused discussion on why this theme was chosen, how Karl DeAngelo approached the layout and rules, what toys/mechs made the cut, what the art team set out to capture, and why that in-game Pepper's Ghost is more than a neat trick. If you're a home player, an operator, or just curious about how a modern game comes together, this is for you. We cover how they aimed for "spooky fun" that families can enjoy while still giving horror fans something to chew on.
