Mousing.

Mousing. is a 3D animated fantasy RPG. As Leela, you’re both a member of the Secret Mousciety and the oldest sibling. You take quests from family and townies that require being Big, and from mice that require being Small. Don't get caught by not-so-secret CIA Agents, or scare your mouse-hating family!

“Mousing. was inspired by a funny little dream I had last summer that I could turn into a mouse. I've spent the past several months worldbuilding, crafting stories and characters, and singlehandedly attempting to turn my sleep-induced vision into a playable prototype. Mousing. combines the various diverse neighbourhoods that I've called home, from Chinatown to small Italian-Canadian communities, and creates a vibrant mishmash of culture and character to explore. The game takes the player through themes of coming-of-age, growing up with a hidden identity, and the experience of being the eldest daughter balancing responsibilities. Pitching this game, I was awarded a grant by the Brampton Arts Organization to continue development.”
