Join private investigator Jack Pepper on a guns blazing, jazz-fueled adventure in MOUSE: P.I. For Hire. MOUSE combines the charm of hand-drawn rubber hose animation inspired by the classic cartoons of the 1930’s with the adrenaline and action of an explosive first person shooter.

This review may get a little cheesy. When I saw this game was first announced, I was intrigued. I enjoyed Cupheads floppy-hose animation style which I was reminded of. I also enjoy New Blood's Fallen Aces which I am also reminded of. And for the record I also loved Doom Eternal. Mouse PI I finally picked up during the Steam summer sale. Man am I glad I picked it up. I love this pop-culture referencing packed liner arena noir shooter. I was able to 100% achievements. I enjoyed searching levels and jumping around trying to get into nooks and crannies to discover secrets. The movement and control is spectacular. I will admit the enemy variation can get a little stagnant. However the animation and reskin\costumes for the enemies has such variation I don't mind it all. In fact I love it! The boss fights and deviations from the mold are also a nice touch. I really only had an issue with the final boss. The set pieces sometimes left me in awe and sometimes just a simple OK. Like off-brand brick cheese. All in all I very much enjoyed this one and looking for to more expansion. Thank you Fumi Games! (Yes I found the Veloper secret)
Rubber hose animasyon ve noir teması oyunun uzaktan bakınca kendini satmasına sebep olan en büyük etkeni. Oyun kendi çapında oynanabilir düz hikaye çerçevesiyle tasarlanmış bir nişancı oyunu. Eğer ara oyun arıyorsanız veya paranıza değer özgün görsellere sahip güzel bir hikaye deneyimlemek istiyorsanız bakabilirsiniz indirime girdiğinde. Oyun boomer shooter ve oynadıkça çeşitlilik kazanıyor türü gereği, eğer janraya yeniyseniz başlangıç için güzel bir oyun. Oyunun beni üzen tek eksiği dedektiflik kısımlarında topladığın ip uçlarını senin yerine bağlıyor ve çözüyor, hata yapma şansının olmadığı bir nokta olduğu ve senin dokunuşunu oyunun önemsememesi üzücü. Herşeye rağmen oyunu öneririm ve tavsiye ederim. 6.8/10
Mouse: PI For Hire made me return to gaming in 2026 like no other game. Very engaging, fun and also interesting that keeps on you on the edge with its story mode. Full of surprises as well with different turns in each level of mystery that the main character private investigator Jack Pepper has to solve. I beat the main story line in under 20 hours and I cant wait for the upcoming DLC content that the game will eventually have later on that brings the shining gem this game is in the FPS, first person category made by Fumi Games. Totally worth the price and also the Deluxe Edition as well which I got the full package. I highly recommend this title because it brings magnificent story with itself like no other and its unique as well set in a black and white ink world of mouse. Thumbs up and I give it a positive rating inconclusion.
дуже стильна гра з чудовою атмосферою. я ЖАХ як хотіла її придбати, коли вперше побачила. як тільки зайшла, одразу ж закохалася!! я мало граю в шутери, але в це я залюбки грала б досхочу, якби в мене було більше вільного часу. мені подобається те, якими різними змогли зробити персонажів, попри те, що тут буквально чорно-біла мультиплікація, це просто дивовижно... також анімації настільки плавні, що хочеться змінювати зброю просто заради того, щоб помилуватися ними, просто пік 2026-го року 🥺🥺🥹

Українська мова? Є Цікава гра? Так! Механіки? Офігезні! Стиль? Крутий Купувати? ТАК!
Покупал игру больше из-за стилистики, ничего особо о ней в плане геймплея не знал и... был приятно удивлён. Меня как душем окатило и захотелось вновь пройти такие шедевры, как No One Lives Forever, Wolfenstein New Order, XIII и похожие - люблю, когда в шутерах дают не только одной стрельбой заниматься, но ещё предоставляют не боевые эпизоды, где вы проводите всякие расследования, ищите секреты, гуляете среди мирной толпы и прочее. Тем не менее, в данной игре пострелушной части навалом и не сказать, что она выдающаяся, но левел-дизайн вывозит на своих плечах всё: вы никогда не заскучаете, постоянно получая что-то новое, и, помимо боевых арен, будут и всякие платформенные, подводные, полетные, шизофренические и прочее-прочее (уровней много, все разные по тематике). Вы никогда не знаете что ждать за следующим поворотом, в течении одной миссии вы можете встретить как одного босса (при чем необязательно в конце задания), так и двух-трех. Про стилистику, упомянутую вначале - тут всё на высоте: музыка, аутентичный голос Троя Бейкера, подаренный главному герою, черно-белая анимация из 1930-го года, нуар во все поля. Также игра наполнена всякими пасхалками, приколами, секретами, карточками, газетами и, тут очень важный момент, который мне хотелось бы видеть во многих играх: если вы что-то пропускаете во время прохождения уровня, то у вас на выбор 2 варианта: либо можете заново переиграть уровень, пытаясь найти что пропустили, либо купить упущенные "записочки" в магазине. Рекомендую, если подобный стиль игры не отталкивает. Понятно, что не всем зайдёт, скорее это для публики 30+, которые застали мультфильмы про Микки Мауса и похожие.
I liked this game a lot! From its very unique art style (for a shooter especially) to the constant remarks to mouse-like life and cheese (duh) references all over the place. I love the attention to detail with all the typical comic-esque animations and sounds of the characters, assets and especially the weapons, which all give it a funny tone albeit the story having a noir-like grim tone altogether. (I mean, a prime example would be that if you kill an enemy with fire, he collapses into a pile of dust with two sad eyes looking at you. If this isn't peak comic-esque "funnysad" then I don't know.) The combination of brighter animated objects and stale darker objects fits so well together if you like this kind of artstyle. I constantly admired the work put into every animated object, "person" or even some little funny snails, bats or spiders enjoying their prey, which is a poor crying fly. During all of that, it of course also makes a lot of fun blasting through the levels with the game's varying arsenal of weapons with their own unique animated "wobbly" flair. Also, Troy Baker does a great job voicing the main character. I liked hearing all of his inner monologues and talks with other characters.
Distinguersi dalla massa non è semplice, soprattutto in un genere come quello degli sparatutto FPS. In questo caso però abbiamo l'eccezione perché MOUSE riesce a distinguersi e lo fa con uno stile veramente unico. Descrivervi questa esperienza sarebbe riduttivo nei confronti di questo titolo, quello che posso consigliarvi è di provarlo assolutamente per la sua unicità. La trama si intrica in diversi casi che dovrai risolvere per arrivare alla soluzione finale, i nemici sono vari e le armi pure con ognuna i propri potenziamenti. Ci sono alcuni livelli che tenderanno alla follia e sarà assurdo giocarci, le citazioni e gli easter eggs si sprecano e verso L'Italia in particolare ovviamente non mancano (ce n'è una davvero clamorosa), gli aneddoti ed i giochi di parole col formaggio vi strapperanno qualche risata. Ringrazio l'amico Alby per avermi permesso di giocare a questa esperienza PAZZESCA!
Sadly cannot recommend. I really want to because it is beautiful and whitty. But sadly it just becomes a chore. It goes from interesting, to boring, to annoying. Really wanted to like it but just missed for me. Maybe try it on a deep deep discount.
