Usage

Consumable properties

A dead mouse can be eaten raw, which will make the player sick. Consuming after being cooked will not make the player sick and provide the player with some positive effects. However, these will become negative the longer it's left to perish.

Trapping

Main article: Trapping

Mice can usually be caught around farms, trailer parks and urban settings and rarely in forests. They are active all day.

They can only be caught using a mouse trap, and using cheese, processed cheese, peanut butter, chocolate, bacon bits, an apple, orange or tomato as bait.
