About
MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is an action-packed first-person shooter that draws inspiration from the classic cartoons of the 1930s. Its black and white rubber hose visuals are drawn by hand, frame by frame, delivering a striking vintage aesthetic. Unravel layers of corruption with a thrilling noir-fueled detective story, lively environments to explore, an original big band jazz soundtrack, and a fully-loaded arsenal of cartoon weapons and devastating power-ups.
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. Investigate the seedy underbelly of Mouseburg, battle heavily armed gangs and crooked cops, and discover clues to reveal the conspiracy buried underneath the surface.
From crackling machine guns to explosive firepower, each weapon in Pepper’s arsenal is designed to deploy non-stop cartoon chaos. Arm yourself with an array of classic, creatively twisted and experimental firearms, and consume powerful upgrades when you need that extra spinach-loaded punch! Lethal encounters and manic boss battles await in this boomer shooter-inspired, retro-vibed adventure - and the denizens of Mouseburg never go down without a fight.
Explore a diverse city playground, from dark streets to classic film studios, opulent opera buildings, poisonous swamps and underground sewers. With a myriad of cases to solve and collectibles to find, Mouseburg is truly a detective’s delight!

Reviews
Been hyped for this game since I first saw the trailer in 2023. If it had been just a simple, gimmicky little shooter with little substance, I'd have still been very happy. This game is a lot more than that! Mouse expertly blends a thrilling detective story about a city soon to be corrupted by Nazis with engaging, classic shooter gameplay and a tight visual style. Although it lacks some of Cuphead's polish, there's still an incredible attention to detail you'll notice in almost every aspect of this game! Outside of a few bugs, underused weapons/features and a couple story kinks here and there, Mouse exceeded my expectations! Potential future classic, imo

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.

Excelente juego, y viene con mucho queso!!
All in a days work..
A pretty average and easy shooter. The last level is the worst design with really fragile positioning, and then some lame lasers, and then made easy by giving infinite ammo, including to your bazooka. I would not recommend this game unless on a deep discount.
Loving Mouse PI for hire, animation is peak can't get enough.
It's pretty fun! It can get a little hard in some of the boss fights but it's really satisfying to finally beat that tough fight eventually. I also really like the story.
très bon jeu solo avec une da très original humour assez sympathique arme et combat bien doser pas boss avec des arènes bien mise en avant quêtes secondaires un peux facile pour certaines mais qui demande de bien fouiller les zones et histoire chouette je le conseille pour les fan de doom et pour ceux qui veulent essayer le genre ce jeu sera vivement conseiller
thank you for allowing me to express my disdain for steamboat willie on all these mice
