The whole discussion regarding the IGN review of Mouse: PI for Hire and the games handling of tone is super weird because its not a discussion on how well the game approaches it topics but just like. People discussing it exclusively under the framing of it being "True Noir."

half of the game so far take my word with a grain of salt but it balances itself rather well and hasn't subverted my personal expectations. I am really enjoying it. But this debate of rubberhose mouse vs gritty noir is overlooking a discussion I think we should be having about the tropes-

People are talking about the game as though it the first time noir or any related subgenres of detective media have been approach in a way that parodies the genre, the time period and the tropes. This is not even the first time a video game has done it. I say this having only gotten through about -

For starters, I wanna catch y'all up with HI-09 a bit. I basically dropped the Steam Page and dipped, but for Shipwrecked 64's 2-year anniversary, I dropped a string of teasers for HI-09! I'll drop them here #Shipwrecked64 #HI09 #Hotel09 (Thread)

I could go on about my interest in the in betweens of game development forever but I love when a placeholder is slightly able to endure itself to people, be it through digging through code, or devs deciding to keep it or it accidentally switching into the finished product -

"placeholder text" "concept art" either the temporary thing you put in matters to the process, in which case you need to get a human to work on it, or it doesn't, in which case you can just as easily put a bright pink rectangle that says PLACEHOLDER in and save everyone time and effort

And that endearment is only achievable if there's clear human input. I cant remember it specifically but there's a object inspection placeholder text from a survival horror that has become an onrunning joke solely because it's a note to an individual, and not just lorem ipsum. This isnt to say that-
