MOUSE: P.I. For Hire Gameplay
Detective Drama
MOUSE: P.I. For Hire offers the full neo-noir detective experience, complete with cartoonish boomer shooter violence. The game blends fast-paced first-person shooter battles with an in-depth storyline told through the cases players can take on. As the army veteran-turned-private investigator, Jack Pepper, players will investigate active cases by hunting down clues in the city of Mouseburg and piecing them together.
Experimental Weapons

Players can collect over a dozen weapons through purchase or exploration, but among these lie a special few. These are "Experimental Weapons" built precisely for kooky cartoon violence. With these cartoony guns, players can melt enemies, freeze them where they stand, and even literally blow their minds.
Mini-Games

MOUSE: P.I. also offers a selection of mini-games, including a baseball card collecting game. Rare baseball cards can be found throughout the city along with other valuable items and weapon upgrades, so players had better be on a constant lookout.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire Setting

Mouseburg is a sprawling city with a rotten underbelly, festering with corruption and crooked rats. The city never sleeps, but thankfully, private eye Jack Pepper doesn't either.
Players will explore numerous distinct areas within Mouseburg, like a lavish mansion, dirty sewers, and gang hideouts. In between missions, players will retreat to the pub, where they can pore over their case files, visit Tammy's workshop, and interact with NPCs.
