Fumi Games and PlaySide Studio have recently unveiled exciting new details about their upcoming game, *MOUSE: P.I. For Hire*. This first-person shooter stands out with its unique visual aesthetic inspired by the 1930s cartoons, capturing the essence of rubber hose animation to bring a nostalgic charm to the gaming world. Set in a noir environment filled with jazz and dynamic events, players will step into the shoes of private detective Jack Pepper, who is on a mission to unravel mysterious cases.

One of the most notable announcements from the developers, shared on the game's official X social media page, is the absence of microtransactions in *MOUSE: P.I. For Hire*. This decision underscores their commitment to delivering a pure, uninterrupted gaming experience. 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 approach is particularly refreshing for fans of single-player indie shooters, where microtransactions are less common, and it highlights the team's dedication to their craft.

In *MOUSE: P.I. For Hire*, players will navigate a noir city teeming with mobs, gangs, and other nefarious characters. As private investigator Jack Pepper, your quest for justice will see you using a diverse arsenal of weapons, power-ups, and explosives to thwart corrupt politicians and restore order to a city buzzing with chaos and corruption. The game adds a humorous twist to traditional first-person shooter gameplay, featuring whimsical weaponry, a unique health display, and cartoon-like enemies that enhance the overall experience.

While *MOUSE: P.I. For Hire* does not have a specific release date yet, it is slated to launch in 2025. Fans of noir-themed games and vintage cartoon aesthetics alike have much to look forward to with this intriguing new title.
