And to celebrate our launch, here is a message from the CEO and Founder of Fumi Games, Mateusz Michalak, on behalf of the entire team:

“When we first shared the concept video of a 1930s cartoon video game that was also a first-person shooter, we had no idea that it would resonate so much with players and eventually turn into what MOUSE: P.I. For Hire has become. With over 1.7 million wishlists, we are extremely excited for you to finally play the game we have worked so hard on. A handcrafted tale born of ink, sweat, and stubborn dreams. From the bottom of our grinning hearts, thank you for supporting us. We hope you enjoy your time in Mouseburg”.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire draws inspiration from classic cartoons of the 1930s and echoes gritty noir detective movies of the era. Its black and white rubber hose visuals are drawn by hand, frame by frame, delivering a striking vintage aesthetic. With the iconic Troy Baker starring as the main protagonist Jack Pepper, expect non-stop cartoon chaos, explosive FPS combat, and a fully loaded arsenal of classic, creatively twisted and experimental firearms. Lethal encounters and manic boss battles await in this guns-blazing, retro-vibed adventure - and the denizens of Mouseburg never go down without a fight.

Now, what are you still doing here? Start your investigation in MOUSE: P.I. For Hire!

Detectives,

Today we roll out the black and white carpet by debuting the Official Cinematic Trailer for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire. This brand new gameplay footage showcases the opening cutscene for the game, wherein the main protagonist, Jack Pepper, receives a tip on a mysterious lead and gets assigned his very first case.

Globally renowned actor Troy Baker (known for his performances in The Last of Us, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, BioShock Infinite, and more) stars as the main cheese himself. Staying true to the game’s black and white rubber hose visuals, every single cutscene in MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is hand-drawn, delivering a striking vintage aesthetic.

As you sleuth through the game and hunt for clues, these cutscenes will appear every so often to provide vital context and help progress the story of corruption, kidnapping and murder developing in the city of Mouseburg.
