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.

Seems like a good game but unfortunately it gives me motion sickness, as most of these slick, fast moving boomer shooters do. It has motion sickness options which I appreciate but I played for 40min and then had to go lay down lol. Won't be powering through.
it is good

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 29.86/day in the week to Jul 31 → 28.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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.

Well, I didn't notice too much cheese on my playthrough
Art style is cool, some good gags, lots of fun stuff and some nice voice acting. Those are the positives. I enjoyed some of this game, but it's really badly designed overall. Much of the game was far too easy, but at some points the difficulty spikes suddenly, rarely in a fun way. Almost finished it but the last section is really dreadful. Jumping between planes and if you miss you fall and are back to start of sequence, with white enemies that blend into the white sky. Brilliant. Then the stupid laser arena. I'm sure I could finish it given perseverance but it's just no fun by this point. The charm kept me going far beyond any enjoyment here. Kept getting stutters when changing weapons which is quite ridiculous for a game where all mobs are simple sprites like original doom etc. It shouldn't be taxing my system like its a modern Crysis! There are many weapons but hardly any reason to use most of them. The ones you get later are terrible, you try em once, shrug, and never use them. The artists behind this game should have hired a veteran shooter designer for the mechanics, and better level designers while they were at it. Such wasted potential.
Balancing is not really funny & done yet, at the end its more frustrating than fun, you just want to finish it & never touch it again! so if its cheap on a sale, but so ..... ????
Оказался вполне качественный и разносторонний шутер. Да ещё и не короткий, если вычесть АФК, то я проходил около 25ч. Стилистику, я думаю, все читающие посмотрели, она классная, а ещё очень хорошо проработана в мелочах. Все уровни отлично сделаны и в них куча нюансов, которые можно исследовать и разглядывать, много отсылок ко всевозможным играм, фильмам/мультфильмам. С визуальной стороны игра радует до самых титров. По трейлерам не особо было заметно, но в игре оказалось много диалогов и сюжета, если бы это оказался просто набор уровней с мультяшной графикой, всё бы это не смогло надолго меня удержать. А тут таки прям полноценная история с запоминающимися и прекрасно озвученными персонажами. Про сюжет особо расписывать не буду, персонажи колоритные, интрига небольшая, следить в целом интересно и сам мир очень круто сделан, здесь описаны события после второй мировой войны, со стороны мышей и землероек. Геймплей разделён на уровни, по которым мы передвигаемся по через глобальную карту (аля Cuphead). Есть уровень-хаб, где общаемся, рассматриваем улики, играем в карты, улучшаем снаряжение и закупаем патроны. Сами уровни сделаны приятно, секреты есть, одни спрятаны хорошо, другие относительно казуально, что мне очень понравилось, потому что меня с одной стороны тянет их найти, а с другой стороны я жуть как не люблю по пол часа ломать голову как попасть вооон туда, где светится секрет. Тут если секрет спрятан хорошо, то вы его и не увидите :) В итоге довольны будут обе категории игроков. Ну и самое главное - стрельба, враги и прочие шутерские элементы тут тоже удались. Всю игру потихоньку выдают новые пушки, а в промежутках между ними мы их улучшаем, открывая альтернативную стрельбу из них. Так-же иногда дают усилялки, например шпинат, чтоб руками всем по мордасам настучать. Единственное чего мне не хватило - местами маловато врагов. Я проходил на максимальном уровне сложности и умирал только если сильно уж обнаглею. Побольше бы средних, не стреляющих врагов, для массовки и былоб идеально. В итоге - крайне рекомендую, игра красивая, разнообразная, не короткая и своих денег стоит.

[h2] Positif [/h2] [h3] Gameplay [/h3] Les power-ups ont des effets rigolos, mais sont assez rare un bon shooter classique, des zones de combat entrecoupées de zones d'exploration, des secrets, des nouvelles armes que vous pouvez améliorer Le mini jeu de baseball est sympatique [h3] Graphisme [/h3] un mélange cartoon des années 30 et film noir qui fait plaisir, même si le jeu est en noir et blanc, il reste lisible et beau Les animations des ennemis sont nickel, que ce soit quand ils sont surpris, meurent ou tirent, elles sont vraiment bien faites [h2] Négatif [/h2] [h3] Bug[/h3] Les photos sont buggées à plusieurs moments, j'ai dû relancer une sauvegarde car impossible de progresser [h3]Gameplay [/h3] pas un fan des bonus sous timer avec aucun moyen de recommencer en cas d'échec les cartes de baseball sont très difficiles à voir, un léger halo pour les mettre en valeur serait un plus -apart le tir secondaire de l'arme de base et du super fusil à pompe, tous les autres sont presque inutiles. faible diversité d'ennemis [h2] Conclusion [/h2] un très bon boomer shooter qui occupe 11-13h de jeu
