Mickey Mouse has been the protagonist in lots of other games.
However,Mickey P.I.
for Hireis probably the most recent one to spring to memory that treads closest toBad Cheese.
Both have the same Steamboat Willie 1920s art style.
However, the latter upcoming game makes an interesting case for itself.
Rather than a guns-blazing adventure, the new game wants to incorporate horror.
Youll still be meeting Mickey Mouse characters along your journey.
However, the adventure is very much spooky, with some pretty terrifying monsters to escape from.
Lets comb through everything we know aboutBad Cheeseso far.
What is Bad Cheese?
Bad Cheeseis an upcoming psychological horror that draws inspiration from the Steamboat Willie 1920s art style.
So, you’ve got the option to look forward to a black-and-white and eerie-rampant animation style.
Theres also an exciting story that youll be unraveling.
In addition to causing no trouble for your dad, you better confirm he stays happy with you around.
Story
Bad Cheeses story is pretty straightforward.
Your mom has left you in charge of taking care of your dad, who is currently dysfunctional.
Its unclear what your dad is suffering from.
However, you do have the responsibility to behave yourself and keep your dad happy.
The new game will star Mickey Mousethe version from Steamboat Willie.
However, from the trailer, he seems to have gained a couple of pounds.
Nevertheless, most of the characters and aesthetics you might expect remain intact.
You still maneuver hand-drawn art that draws heavily from a 16 mm 1920s film-inspired aesthetic.
Gameplay
The gameplay also seems pretty straightforward.
The main incentive here is the spooky experience from the grotesque monsters youll come across.
Besides your dad, mom, and brother, there are other creatures roaming your home.
In all of the chaos, youre still expected to remain on your best behavior to avoid being punished.
So, you go about your day helping around the house.
Whether its scrubbing, sweeping, cleaning, or cooking, youll perform essential tasks with no complaints.
As you’re free to imagine, gamers who love routines will likely love the core gameplay.
However, there is an incentive for fans of collecting items, too.
They are hidden treasures that beef the game up.
While the first two gameplay may be a breeze, the third part carries more weight.
Its the part that challenges you, sprouting at different areas of the house.
Often, these will involve demons that send chills down the spine.
Development
Developer Simon Lukasik and publisher Feardemic will be working onBad Cheese.
Theyve just launched a reveal trailer.
This means that the project could go either way.
Thankfully, though, Feardemic has more experience, specifically in bringing games to market.
Theyll soon be publishingGarten Banban I-IVon consoles andTales from Candleforthon PC.
Trailer
Bad Cheeses announcement traileris out on YouTube.
Its pretty detailed for a first trailer, with lots of story beats and gameplay to mull over.
Jazz blues play on in the background as the horrific monsters leap out from the shadows.
Mickey Mouse scampers around, cleaning and performing house duties.
Yet the demons persist, chasing after you and threatening to destroy your world.
The monster designs are so impressive, with distinct features and genuinely spooky undertones.
They make screeching noises, too, that pair up well with the eerie atmosphere and music.
There are words to the music, although Mickey Mouse himself doesnt seem to speak.
Its unsurprising, given he only began to speak in The Karnival Kid in 1929.
Moreover, the 90s aesthetic brings out the retro charm youll be swimming in.
Sure, there are other games that have adopted the Steamboat Willie aesthetic.
However,Bad Cheesecould possibly offer the ultimate horror experience we never knew we needed.
Release Date, Platforms, & Editions
Bad Cheesewill be launching sometime soon.
Thanks to the reveal trailer, we know itll be released in 2025.
However, we cannot pinpoint a specific release date at this time.
For now, you canadd the game to your Steam wishlistto get a notification when it drops.
The upcoming game will only launch on PC platforms.
Editions, however, remain unconfirmed.
Still, feel free tofollow the official social handle hereto keep track of new updates.
