The mouse squeaks when you click. Not a cute squeak. A wet, panicked little noise that comes right through my phone speaker and I had to turn the volume down because someone in the next apartment might think I'm watching torture porn. Which. I mean.
The Mansion Mouse doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is. You're a tiny rodent thing in a cage and there's this massive dragon lady who owns the estate. Her tits are bigger than your entire body. That's not an exaggeration. The scale work here is actually kind of impressive in a way that makes my brain feel slightly broken. One scene she picks you up between two fingers and you can see every scale on her hand, every claw, and your little mouse body just dangling there helpless. The x-ray toggle is a button I found by accident and then couldn't stop using. You see yourself inside her. Like. Inside. Throat. Stomach. Other places. The unbirth sequence has this slow, detailed descent that I watched three times trying to figure out if the anatomy made any sense. It doesn't. That's not the point.
The writing is rough. Like someone ran it through a translator and then just left it. "With abrupt memories" is an actual phrase from the opening and I still don't know what that means. But the choices actually matter which surprised me. I got eaten on my first run. Second run I tried being submissive and ended up somewhere much warmer and tighter. There's blood endings too. The dragon doesn't always play nice. The domination stuff gets genuinely mean in a way that made me put my phone down for a second. Then pick it back up.
Top 3 Moments You'll Want to Screenshot: when she first opens her mouth and you realize the scale of what's about to happen, the x-ray view during unbirth where you can see your little mouse form curled up, and the bad ending where things get red. Very red. I wish the text boxes didn't cover so much of the art during the insertion scenes. That's my complaint. The art is doing all this work and then a big gray box blocks the good parts. Why.
