12 oz. Mouse

2005–2020 · 3 seasons

A surreal, drunken puzzle box that feels like a cheap cartoon slowly revealing a paranoid conspiracy, equal parts hilarious and unsettling.

Overview: 12 oz. Mouse revolves around Mouse Fitzgerald, nicknamed "Fitz", an alcoholic mouse who performs odd jobs so he can buy more beer. Together with his chinchilla companion Skillet, Fitz begins to recover suppressed memories that he once had a wife and a child who have now vanished. This leads him to seek answers about his past and the shadowy forces that seem to be manipulating his world.
How it feels: Absurd, dark, eerie and satirical. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Identity, memory, conspiracy, addiction
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
