About
MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is an action-packed first-person shooter that draws inspiration from the classic cartoons of the 1930s.

Meet Private Investigator Jack Pepper, a former war hero-turned-detective in a world where danger lurks even in the smallest mouse hole. Uncover the truth when a simple missing persons case quickly escalates into a complex web of intrigue, with corruption, kidnapping and murder all on the docket.

El viaje detectivesco y sangriento de Jack Pepper es un trabajo técnico, artístico y sonoro destacable. El estilo de arte que combina animación a mano y entornos 3-D es excelente y transmite unas vibras sombrías a la vez que cómicas y divertidas, dejando unas postales y escenarios bastante memorables. Las animaciones a mano y su coherencia con los menús y la UI son de lo mejor que ofrece esta experiencia. Tanto la musica como el diseño de sonido son excelentes al combinar temas de jazz y big band con sonidos cómicos de armas, daño, etc., haciendo de la coherencia general del juego más evidente. El bucle del juego es muy cumplidor gracias a la variedad de armas, la vistosidad del combate, los disparos extras y los mapas llenos de secretos, además de un numero solido de bossfights distintivas; sin embargo, el ritmo tanto de la historia como la sensación de repetitividad entre arenas, más que todo su layout, hacen que el juego se haga un poco largo. La historia toca temas bastante provocadores, pero hay momentos donde el foco se pone sobre subtramas que poco o nada añaden al problema central, lo que le quita agilidad al hilo narrativo. Adicionalmente, las misiones secundarias son bastante vaciás y olvidables. Mouse P.I. For Hire brilla por su presentación y shooting satisfactorio pero algunos detalles lo hacen menos disfrutable. Gameplay [Mecánicas, misiones, progresión, etc.]: 3.0 / 4.0 El juego ofrece una experiencia boomer shooter clásica con los añadidos de un arsenal abundante con armas originales, el doble salto y el planeo que aumentan las posibilidades de afrontar los enfrentamientos. Los jefes son un punto muy positivo tanto por su cantidad como por las mecánicas variadas y entretenidas que presentan, aunque haya alguna excepción. Cerca de los compases finales el juego sufre de demasiada repetitividad, sin negar algunos momentos más dinámicos que compensan esto. El aspecto detectivesco es algo anecdótico pero no esperaba un juego de puzzles o acertijos. Visual [Gráficos, diseño, ambientación, etc.]: 2.8 / 3.0 El rubro grafico es espectacular. El juego cumple con lo mostrado en los trailers, con una combinación magistral de la animación 2D a mano y entornos en 3D creados para dar esa sensación Noir de los años 30. También hay momentos sorprendentes de varias formas y los diseños de entornos, armas, mobs etc., están muy bien cuidados. Lo único negativo es que, al ser 99% a blanco y negro, llega a ser algo repetitivo pero se respeta la iniciativa creativa y el mantenerse así por la mayoría de la campaña. Sonido [Voces, música, ambientación, etc.]: 1.9 / 2.0 Otro aspecto excelente donde el trabajo musical y de diseño captura la energía y melodías de otra época a la vez de sentirse nítido y muy bien cuidado. Las actuaciones de voz también son muy solidas con uno que otro momento poco inspirado. La musica es de lo mejor que tiene que ofrecer el juego. Historia [Argumento, guion, personajes, etc.]: 0.5 / 1.0 Uno de los puntos más conflictivos de P.I. for Hire es que presenta un hilo central que se va expandiendo hasta tocar temas sensibles de una forma efectiva, potente sin ser muy descarada. Lastimosamente, el hilo y la potencia de estas historias interesantes ya sea por su mensaje o por el misterio se ven perjudicadas tanto por la cantidad de misiones que no aportan mucho, y la habilidad que se le da al jugador de navegar las misiones a su gusto, ademas de haberse sobre extendido a mi parecer. A pesar de esto, la narrativa es lo suficientemente intrigante, divertida y llena de referencias como para darle una oportunidad. 8.2 / 10 🧀

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

J'ai adoré l'ambiance et le game play du jeu. Les voix et l'esthétique sont dingue ! Je recommande!
Неплохой сюжет и крутая прорисовка персонажей. Атмосфера нуарного детектива в стилистике ранних работ диснея. Однозначно рекомендую
Świetna produkcja!
Fun game, lots of cheese puns highly recommend if you are looking for a change of pace in the shooter genre or a nice single player game to enjoy and be able to shut your brain off for,
Very nice game, if you want a real challenge, play it on the hard mode, normal mode is a bit easy for people who play other shooters
Могу рекомендовать, стилистика супер, все другое ПРОСТО НОРМ! Но время потраченным не считаю, игрой насладился
