Nightmare Forge Games is releasing Mickey Mouse Horror Game Infestation 88, a cooperative horror game for 1-4 players. Here’s all you need to know…
Nostalgia fans, buckle up for a chilling twist on childhood memories. Inspired by the recent Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse Horror Game promises to inject terror into familiar faces.
Mickey Mouse horror game: Infestation 88 – What awaits you?
The year is 1988, and what starts as a simple rodent infestation turns into something much worse. In Infestation 88, you can fight, run, and hide in closets as you navigate twisted versions of classic characters (including, you guessed it, Mickey Mouse). Random item layouts and CCTV surveillance keep you on your toes, while scaled enemy behavior ensures the game isn’t like any other.
Infestation 88 offers private and public lobbies, allowing you to choose friends to fear. Customize your character and face the horror with your friends. DLSS support ensures a smooth frame rate as you encounter the gruesome remnants of Disney’s past.
Mickey Mouse went public domain
Beyond the eerie shadows of Infestation 88, 1 January 2024 marks a monumental shift in intellectual property. Steamboat Willie and his silent counterpart Minnie Mouse are freed from the leash of Disney’s copyright and enter the vast landscape of the public domain.
This is not just about a cartoon mouse with oversized shoes. Public domain advocates rejoice as iconic works such as D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, and J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan are set free, ready for new interpretations and adaptations.
From Bertolt Brecht’s Threepenny Opera to M.C. Escher’s engraving of the Tower of Babel, the public domain welcomes a variety of artistic expressions. The National Jukebox of the Library of Congress even offers a treasure trove of 1923 sound recordings to be rediscovered.
While Mickey’s public domain status comes with some caveats (subsequent design changes and trademarks remain under Disney’s control), it opens doors for creative reuse and re-imagination. Copyright law for enduring characters like Mickey remains a tangled web. Still, today marks a celebration of reclaimed cultural heritage and reborn stories.
Infestation 88 embodies the complexity of copyright and public domain concepts. It challenges and recontextualizes beloved icons while the wider public domain stream ignites creative opportunities. Whether you’re a horror enthusiast eager to confront a twisted Mickey Mouse or a creator ready to breathe new life into classic works, 1 January is a day to celebrate the power of shared stories and the endless possibilities within the public domain.
Infestation 88 release date
Unfortunately, Infestation 88 does not have a specific release date yet. However, we do have some clues:
- Planned for 2024: The developers have confirmed that the game will be released sometime in 2024.
