MOUSE: P.I. For Hire

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire leans heavily into the ink-washed aesthetic of 1930s rubber hose animation, but beneath its hand-drawn charm lies a gritty, fast-paced first-person shooter. Developed by Fumi Games and published by PlaySide, this indie project casts players as Jack Pepper, a private investigator navigating a corrupt noir cityscape crawling with anthropomorphic thugs. While the visual style evokes the golden age of cinema, the gameplay prioritizes high-octane gunplay and environmental carnage. Currently slated for a 2026 arrival on PC and consoles, the title stands out for its juxtaposition of vintage Disney-esque character designs and the visceral impact of a modern tactical shooter.
