Fumi Games and PlaySide Studio have unveiled new details about their upcoming title, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire. This first-person shooter, boasting a striking visual style reminiscent of 1930s cartoons, casts players as private investigator Jack Pepper. He'll navigate a world brimming with jazz, dynamic events, and plenty of noir atmosphere as he unravels mysterious cases.
A key announcement, made via the game's official X page, confirms the absence of microtransactions: "MOUSE: P.I. For Hire will NOT contain microtransactions. We are creating a stunning single-player shooter full of noir atmosphere and explosive combat scenes that we put our hearts into creating." This commitment is notable, especially within the indie single-player landscape.
Inspired by the rubber hose animation of the 1930s, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire delivers a unique visual experience. Players will explore a gritty, noir-infused city, battling mobs, gangs, and corrupt officials. A diverse arsenal of weapons, power-ups, and explosives will aid Jack Pepper in his quest for justice. The game promises a humorous twist on classic FPS gameplay, featuring whimsical weaponry, a distinctive health display, and cartoonish enemies.
While a precise release date remains unannounced, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is slated for release in 2025.
