Exciting news for fans of unique and visually captivating games: Fumi Games and PlaySide Studio have unveiled new details about *MOUSE: P.I.

In this game, you step into the shoes of private detective Jack Pepper, diving into a world brimming with jazz and dynamic events as you unravel mysterious cases.

A significant announcement from the game's official X social media page is that *MOUSE: P.I. For Hire* will not feature any microtransactions. The developers stated, "MOUSE: P.I. For Hire will NOT contain microtransactions. We are creating a stunning single-player shooter full of noir atmosphere and explosive combat scenes that we put our hearts into creating." This commitment to a microtransaction-free experience is noteworthy, particularly for a single-player indie shooter, and highlights the developers' dedication to providing a complete gaming experience without additional costs.

*MOUSE: P.I. For Hire* transports players back to the nostalgic era of early cartoons, drawing inspiration from the distinctive visual style of rubber hose animation from the 1930s. As a private investigator in a noir city teeming with mobs, gangs, and sinister characters, you'll navigate a world rife with chaos and corruption. Armed with a variety of weapons, power-ups, and explosives, your mission is to thwart corrupt politicians and restore justice to the city. The game adds a humorous twist to classic first-person shooter mechanics with its whimsical weaponry, unique health display, and cartoon-like adversaries.

While *MOUSE: P.I. For Hire* does not have a specific release date yet, it is set to launch in 2025. This game promises to be a must-play for those who appreciate a blend of vintage aesthetics and engaging gameplay, all wrapped up in a microtransaction-free package.
