Playing Mouse PI and I am invested in little nuggets of societal backstory they think they’re sneaking in. John Brown? John Brown who explicitly talks about the systemic racism against shrews? It hasn’t exactly been bashful in references socioeconomic conditions either with the background npcs and various posters. I gotta keep playing to see how far they go with this! All in a silly, self referential, 1930s Mickey Mouse looking, noir, sorta detective, first person shooter.
#this game!#so many little nuggets!#mouse pi for hire#i’m not usually a fan of fps#but i don’t mind it in this game because the non stop references keep me actively engaged#i really wanna do political analysis of this game 😭#like i’m supposed to be focusing on shooting any rodent looking thing on screen while tracking down a missing magician#not thinking how these mostly optional dialogues might be parallels to ongoing geopolitical tensions#and now wanting to know what exactly is a shrew irl
