Nightmares and urban legends come to life in the new “Mickey Mouse” horror game, thanks to its public domain.
Not even a day has passed since Steamboat Willie, the masterpiece that brought Mickey Mouse to life, was released to the public and we are already seeing a remarkable transformation. Nightmare Forge Games, an independent game developer and publisher, has braved this classic character, bringing us “Invasion 88”. This new title in the field of horror video games is revealed in a newly released trailer, which is partnered with IGN for the release.
Invasion 88: A scary adventure with Mickey
“Invasion 88” is more than just a horror game. This is a co-op experience, for 1 to 4 players, where you and your friends become destroyers. Your mission is to cure the mysterious plagues that have appeared in various locations. What appeared to be an epidemic turned into something more sinister. In this universe, twisted versions of classic characters and urban legends come to life, creating an environment filled with horror and challenges.
The trailer begins with an important explanation: all of the game’s content is based on material that is now in the public domain. It is not endorsed or endorsed by the original authors. This savvy move by Nightmare Forge Games not only shows respect for intellectual property, but also opens up creative possibilities for the Mickey Mouse character and the home of Disney away from its traditional image.
What to expect from Infestation 88?
The main question is, will “Invasion 88” be successful? The game certainly looks disturbing, but this does not guarantee the final quality. It could be the first of many indie titles looking to capitalize on the fame of the world’s most famous mouse. However, the expectations created by the trailer are high, and the fan community is eagerly waiting for its release sometime in 2024.
“Invasion 88” is not just another game on the market; It represents a major milestone in the evolution of how to recreate ancient characters. This game stands out for its creative and dark approach, something that is not often seen with characters as embedded in popular culture as Mickey Mouse.
With “Pandemic 88” we’re seeing not only the rebirth of a popular character, but a change where independent developers can interact with works that have entered the public domain. This game could usher in a new era of innovation and renewal in the world of digital entertainment, where urban legends and ancient stories merge with modern horror to create unique and unforgettable gaming experiences.

Access to the public domain allows creators to explore new stories and adaptations without copyright restrictions.
Similarly, Peter Pan, JM Barrie’s creation, has amazed generations with his adventures in Neverland. Releasing these characters into the public domain invites reinvention and reinterpretation, allowing new voices and perspectives to enrich their mythologies.
