From what can be seen in the trailer, it looks like there&#8217;s even some blood for that added sense of mindless violence. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2416450\/Mouse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wishlist the game<\/a> right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MOUSE Early Gameplay Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4KoNDAW4JrE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The studio describes <em>Mouse<\/em> thus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>With guns blazing and a retro rubber hose animation style, battle your way through a corrupt city full of crooks and danger.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-it-s-like-mickey-mouse-meets-edward-g-robinson\">It&#8217;s like Mickey Mouse meets Edward G Robinson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the moment, there&#8217;s no exact release date, but Fumi is aiming to launch in 2025. While the trailer says it&#8217;s &#8220;early gameplay footage,&#8221; it&#8217;s looking pretty good so far.

The most obvious example that comes to mind is <em>Cuphead<\/em>, which goes for that rubbery style of animation, but in a more fun \u2013 albeit brutally challenging \u2013 context. Then there&#8217;s <em>Bendy and the Ink Machine<\/em>, which leans way more into the horror aspects, but clearly takes inspiration from this era of cartoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s nice that we live in a time when 1930s cartoons can be reborn as gritty shooters. There&#8217;s a kind of fast-paced action to <em>Mouse<\/em> that seems like what <em>Steamboat Willie<\/em> would be like, if it was remade by Quentin Tarantino.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Less Steamboat Willie and more Steamboat&#8230;Shoot-y (??)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":868,"featured_media":440283,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","ub_ctt_via":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"[]","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[429,19500,19109,19126],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[23725],"article_type":[23116],"coauthors":[{"id":868,"display_name":"Andrew Heaton","user_nicename":"andrew-heaton"}],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mouse.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","author_info":{"display_name":"Andrew Heaton","author_link":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/author\/andrew-heaton\/"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mouse.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440280"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/868"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=440280"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440280\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":440354,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440280\/revisions\/440354"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/440283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440280"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=440280"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=440280"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=440280"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=440280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
