You play as Penn, a super-intelligent chimpanzee armed with a &#8220;gravity manipulation device&#8221; who&#8217;s leading a lab animal jailbreak; your pal is not a mouse but actually a rat named Trip. It&#8217;s not clear whether Trip is also super-smart, but he seems to be wearing a Tamagotchi on his ass, which\u2014entirely speculatively\u2014I could see being used as a communications device.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery inline-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0
