Infestation 88 was announced by developers Nightmare Forge Games yesterday (January 1) in the New Year celebrations as the iconic black and white cartoon character Steamboat Willie (an older version of Mickey Mouse) is now in the public domain.
The upcoming homage to the old cartoon is set to be a survival horror game that sees up to four players working together as exterminators to eradicate a troublesome rodent population. It's all a far cry from what we're used to seeing, as Steamboat Willie has never looked so terrifying. Covered in blood, guts, and dirt, the short trailer shows a brief glimpse of the character in his brand-new look as he fights off exterminators.
