The year has barely started and we are already facing a turnaround that no one expected: Mickey Mouse – yes, the very one – is now in public domain. In other words, anyone can use their image to produce new works and creations, without depending on Disney.
As expected, the gaming world wasted no time in capitalizing on this newly acquired freedom over the most iconic mouse on the planet.
‘Infestation 88’ is Mickey Mouse’s new horror game
Who is behind this project is Nightmare Forge Gamesa studio that decided to turn the gaming landscape upside down.
The bold project was initially called ‘Infestation 88’, but its name was changed after accusations of supporting neo-Nazism, as reported in this other matter.
This is a multiplayer horror game that promises to keep up to four players awake at night. As for its premise, it is simple and terrifying at the same time: set in 1988, the game plunges players into a nightmare where an outbreak of rodents reveals an even more sinister threat.
You have to deal with a macabre Mickey Mouse. Yes, you read that correctly, get ready to face a Mickey Mouse completely scary!
The arrival of ‘Infestation 88’
The game’s description on Steam warns:
“A co-op horror in which you are an exterminator dealing with sinister infestations caused by twisted versions of classic characters and urban legends.”
Gameplay involves team strategies, setting traps, using CCTV cameras and searching for the source of the infestation.
With public and private lobbies, character customization and NVIDIA DLSS support, Infestation 88 promises a unique experience in every match. Despite the innovative proposal, questions arose on social media.
The credibility of the project was called into question, and the scarcity of information about Nightmare Forge Games on social platforms aroused curiosity and distrust among players.
With a release scheduled for 2024, ‘Infestation 88’ promises to be one of the games most anticipated and controversial films of the year.
We look forward to seeing how Mickey Mouse, now in the post-dominion era, will become gamers’ nightmare in ‘Infestation 88’.
