About the game

Join private investigator Jack Pepper on a guns blazing, jazz-fueled adventure in MOUSE: P.I. For Hire. MOUSE combines the charm of hand-drawn rubber hose animation inspired by the classic cartoons of the 1930’s with the adrenaline and action of an explosive first person shooter.

    Finally got the chance to play this unique game earlier in April, there were other priority titles like Pragmata and Saros that I had to play first. From the moment news broke about MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, the game's standout feature was immediately apparent: its aesthetic.

    Great art style, great voice actors, very below average gameplay. I'm 2 hours in, and the last hour hasn't been fun... the weapons are bad (I only have a pistol and shotgun; they don't even seem to do different amounts of damage or function differently at all), level design isn't great, either. It's visually fun and will make you smile with the art style they implemented, but the gameplay leaves a LOT to be desired.…
