Reviews
В целом неплохая игра, но ожидал от неё немного большего. Главное достоинство MOUSE - визуальный стиль. Чёрно-белая картинка под мультфильмы 30-х выглядит действительно круто, анимация персонажей и музыка отлично передают нуарную атмосферу. По трейлерам игра сразу цепляет именно этим, и в самой игре стиль не разваливается - локации достаточно разнообразные, постоянно появляются новые персонажи и ситуации. По геймплею это в первую очередь олдскульный шутер, а детективная составляющая здесь скорее дополнение. Стрельба довольно бодрая, есть несколько видов оружия, разные типы противников, усиления и способности передвижения. Можно бегать, прыгать, использовать крюк и исследовать уровни в поисках секретов и коллекционных предметов. В начале всё это ощущается довольно свежо, но ближе к середине становится заметно, что основа у игры всё-таки довольно простая: зачистил арену - прошёл дальше - снова зачистил арену. С исследованием похожая ситуация. Иногда интересно свернуть с основного пути, найти секрет или дополнительный предмет, но полноценной свободы здесь нет. Уровни скорее коридорно-аренные, чем настоящие большие локации. При этом некоторые дополнительные маршруты и способности заставляют возвращаться к уже знакомым местам, что немного разбавляет линейность. Сюжет мне скорее понравился своей подачей, чем непосредственно историей. Начинается всё как относительно простое детективное дело, но постепенно история раскручивается в более крупный заговор с преступностью и коррупцией. Персонажи забавные, диалоги нормально написаны, а общий стиль хорошо поддерживает происходящее. Но какого-то невероятного детективного расследования я здесь не увидел - ты скорее следуешь за сценарием, чем самостоятельно распутываешь дело. Отдельно понравилась атмосфера. Джазовый саундтрек, старая мультипликационная стилистика, гротескные персонажи и нуарный сеттинг отлично сочетаются между собой. В этом плане у игры действительно есть своё лицо, и её сложно перепутать с чем-то другим. Но есть ощущение, что потенциал использовали не полностью. Механики постепенно перестают удивлять, противники начинают повторяться, а некоторые моменты прохождения ощущаются как искусственное растягивание кампании. Хотелось бы больше именно детективной работы, больше интересных расследований и головоломок, а не просто использовать слово «детектив» как часть образа главного героя. В итоге получилась хорошая стильная инди-игра, которая особенно хорошо работает как короткое приключение на несколько вечеров. Визуал, музыка и атмосфера здесь явно сильнее, чем глубина отдельных игровых механик. Поиграть было интересно, но после прохождения осталось ощущение «прикольно, но могло быть намного лучше». Если брать ради необычного визуального стиля и атмосферы - вполне стоит. Если ждать полноценный детективный симулятор с глубокими расследованиями - лучше немного снизить ожидания.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 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.

Such a great story and I love the art work! Can't wait for the new DLC!
Don't let the cheesy reviews get in the way of your detective instincts.. and stay off the cold fondue
Solid, Lot of love put into this. Unique in many ways. The amount of content is super solid.
Mixture of bendy and Cuphead aspects. I love it.
I was really ashamed of the game, I was hyped for it when I first saw it maybe 2 years ago, but this isn't as fun as I thought
çizim tarzı iyi olan bir shooter oyunu çevre ve sanat dizaynı iyi olsada ve yeni silahlar,çift zıplama gibi özelliker olsada hikayede sürekli aynı döngü oluyor,ama yinede oynayışı güzel
Instant classic.
THANK GOD for the new update. I can now say this is worth playing if you like a continuous stream of dopamine hits. I bought it day one but its probably better if you grab it on sale.
FUCXCCCKKK that ghost woman boss man was soo annoyinggggggggggg
