A horror take on Mickey Mouse can come across as a cheap gimmick, but looking at the source material reveals it's more fitting than it might seem.

A new indie title takes advantage of the new public domain status of Steamboat Willie to create a twisted and horror-filled version of the beloved character.
While Disney still owns later Mickey Mouse works, this game carefully avoids using the name Mickey Mouse and includes a disclaimer.
Despite the potential for an interesting horror game, there are doubts about whether this title will deliver a meaningful experience or simply be an engineered attempt to gain attention.
