MOUSE: Noir Shooter Skips Microtransactions

Fumi Games and PlaySide Studio have unveiled fresh details about MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, a game generating buzz for its distinctive 1930s cartoon-inspired visual style.

This noir-tinged first-person shooter casts players as private eye Jack Pepper, unraveling mysteries in a jazz-infused world packed with dynamic encounters. Notably, developers confirmed MOUSE: P.I. For Hire will avoid microtransactions, proudly stating on their official X account:

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire contains ZERO microtransactions. We're crafting a premium single-player experience blending noir storytelling with heart-pumping shooter action - every detail poured directly from our passion.

The studio's explicit microtransaction disclaimer stands out, particularly for a narrative-driven indie shooter where such features rarely appear. This bold declaration appears strategically placed to reignite interest.

Channeling the rubber-hose animation of classic 1930s cartoons, MOUSE delivers a hardboiled FPS adventure. Its signature art style perfectly captures that nostalgic golden age of animation while delivering visceral gunplay.

Step into the trenchcoat of a wisecracking PI prowling crime-ridden streets teeming with mobsters and mischief. Outfit yourself with outrageous weapons and gadgets to dismantle a corrupt political machine amidst the city's chaotic charm. The game reinvents FPS conventions through cartoonish arsenals, inventive health mechanics, and delightfully peculiar enemies.

While MOUSE: P.I. For Hire lacks a concrete launch date, expect this stylish shooter to hit shelves sometime in 2025.
