Mouse: P.I. For Hire is a gritty and noir-fueled FPS shooter that draws inspiration from classic cartoons of the 1930s.

With guns blazing and a retro rubber hose animation style, battle your way through a corrupt city full of crooks and danger. Inspired by classic FPS and noir films, Mouse is the explosive shooter you've been waiting for.

Mouse boasts a unique visual style inspired by the charm of 1930s rubber hose animation, transporting players to a nostalgic era of early cartoons. Assume the role of a private detective navigating a noir city teeming with gangs, mobs, and characters from the dark side. Unravel a quest for justice in a noir city mired in chaos, corruption, and vibrant energy, utilizing a diverse arsenal of weapons, power-ups, and explosives to thwart the takeover by corrupt politicians.

The game's playful weaponry and distinctive health display, coupled with enemies behaving like cartoon characters, add a lighthearted twist to traditional FPS gameplay.


PlaySide Publishing - in partnership with Fumi Games - has revealed the latest gameplay teaser for Mouse, teasing some of the brand-new gameplay mechanics in development, including:

  • Grappling Hook - Enables attachment to designated points for rapid movement and traversal.
  • Helicopter - Reduces descent speed and facilitates extended aerial traversal.
  • PowerUp Spinach - Used to augment and enhance melee gameplay.

Mouse is incredibly important to all of us here at Fumi Games, and we’re committed to making sure that it lives up to all of the expectations. Our goal has always been to create a game that combines our passion for animation with our passion for first-person shooters. We are genuinely committed to collaborating closely with the Mouse community to craft a game that truly resonates with players. We'll aim to share more details - whenever possible - as development progresses. Our partnership with PlaySide and our dedicated and talented team is working hard to bring you the finest grandboomer cartoon shooter ever created!, ’said Fumi Games CEO Mateusz Michalak.

More details, including the exact release date and information about other platforms, to be revealed next year.

Mouse is coming to PC (Steam) in 2025.
