Summer Game Fest 2025 offered a fresh glimpse at MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, a first-person shooter blending 1930s noir storytelling with the aesthetic of classic cartoons. The new trailer featured acclaimed actor Troy Baker as the lead, Jack Pepper – a mouse and war hero turned private detective. This unique title, developed by Fumi Games and PlaySide Studios, is slated for release later this year on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam).
In MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, you embark on an adventure through the corrupt city of Mouseburg. The story kicks off with a classic noir trope: a distressed dame seeking help. What begins as a simple case quickly spirals into a complex web of murders, corruption, and unexpected enemies lurking in the city’s dark underbelly. The narrative heavily draws on old noir films, delivering a tale of intrigue and danger that feels both fresh and nostalgic.
What sets MOUSE apart is its bold visual style, reminiscent of the retro “rubber-hose” animation seen in Cuphead. The black-and-white, hand-drawn aesthetic evokes the charm of 1930s cartoons, paired with a jazz soundtrack that enhances the noir atmosphere. As a first-person shooter, MOUSE promises fast-paced action, with Jack Pepper wielding an arsenal from classic tommy guns to quirky weapons that melt enemies.
