Meet Robo-Betty. As her name suggests, she’s quite mechanical. But that doesn’t mean she’s easy to defeat.
Mouse: P.I. for Hire is a gritty, noir-fueled, first-person shooter game inspired by classic 1930s cartoons. Its monochromatic visual style and retro jazz soundtrack are created with the same techniques used in that era. Play as private investigator Jack Pepper and discover that a corrupt city full of crooks and danger is just the beginning. Explore the noir-inspired city teeming with heavily armed gangs, mobs, and characters from the dark side to uncover the secrets of Mouseburg.
Jack Pepper is a former war hero turned detective in a world where danger lurks in the smallest mouse hole. His journey begins with a clichéd damsel in distress. However, as Pepper starts to scratch the surface of Mouseburg’s seedy underbelly, his quest for justice quickly spirals into a complex web of intrigue involving murder, corruption, and unlikely enemies.
Discover and combine powerful upgrades and comical weapons to knock down, slash, stomp, and blow apart enemies in creative and violent ways as Pepper ventures through nonlinear maps, trying to thwart the takeover by corrupt politicians. Enhance melee combat with a can of Spike-D Spinach, extend aerial traversal with a helicopter, or attach your mouse tail to a grappling hook to rapidly ascend across platforms.
From crackling Tommy guns to explosive firepower, each tool in Pepper’s arsenal is designed to evoke the grit of noir and the chaos of cartoons. Epic fights and boss battles feature an array of classic yet creatively twisted weaponry and comical demises. Pepper embarks on a gritty journey to the dark side of town, encountering a mischievous and disturbed cast of big bads. Playful weaponry, a distinctive health display, and enemies that behave like cartoon characters add a lighthearted twist to traditional first-person shooter gameplay.
Explore a diverse city playground, including the dark streets of Mouseburg, a noir film studio, casinos, the marina port and dock district, vast underground sewers, and swampy marshlands. Beware of what lurks beneath the surface! Collect loot and clues, play minigames, and fight through the city’s towns, alleyways, and more.
The new trailer showcases the never-before-revealed Robo-Betty boss fight. Robo-Betty is just one of the unique bosses players will encounter in Mouseburg. She dwells in the pits of a secret laboratory and must be taken down in an epic three-stage battle. More will be revealed soon about this boss fight and level as part of an upcoming hands-on preview of the game.
Mouse: P.I. will be released on March 19 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
