📝 SUMMARY

Mouse P.I. For Hire is an upcoming noir-inspired "boomer shooter" that blends gritty, first-person gameplay with a striking 1930s hand-drawn animation style. This early Unity 6 footage showcases a black-and-white aesthetic reminiscent of classic cartoons and Cuphead.

✒️ DESCRIPTION

You play as Jack Pepper, a hard-boiled private investigator (voiced by Troy Baker) and former war veteran. The game is set in the corrupt city of Mouseburg, a place crawling with mobsters, crooked cops, and rival gangs. What starts as a simple "damsel in distress" missing persons case quickly unravels into a massive city-wide conspiracy involving kidnapping and murder.

💥 GAMEPLAY FEATURES

Fast-Paced Combat: Inspired by classics like Doom and Wolfenstein. You’ll use a variety of weapons, from classic Tommy guns and shotguns to cartoonish explosives like dynamite and even power-ups like spinach or cheese to boost your abilities.

Detective Work: Unlike traditional shooters, you’ll spend time investigating crime scenes, gathering clues, and solving puzzles to progress through the story.

Upgrades and Exploration: You can upgrade your arsenal using found blueprints and explore a semi-open hub world in Mouseburg, which includes diverse locations like film studios, sewers, and casinos.

Traversal: Jack has access to advanced movement tools like a grappling hook and wall-running to navigate the environment and outmaneuver enemies.

✅ RELEASE DATE AND PLATFORMS

Coming April 16, 2026 to PC, PS5, Xbox, Switch and Switch 2.
