MOUSE: P.I. for Hire is a black-and-white shooter in the style of the very first Mickey Mouse cartoons. Let's find out what's hidden behind the impressive appearance.
Main details:
- Gameplay MOUSE is a first-person shooter-metroidvania (with the greatest emphasis on metroidvania).
- There are upgrades that improve movement (like a grappling hook), mini-games, detective elements and interaction with NPCs.
- The plot will be quite adult and dark. The action takes place in the 1930s, in the city of Mausberg, which has experienced an economic crisis. The authors are going to touch on topics such as political extremes, racial segregation, poverty and social inequality. "MOUSE is a kind of dark, distorted reflection of America in the 1950s," say the developers.
- However, the dark nature does not mean deadly seriousness - MOUSE is still closer to satire. Among the intonation reference points, the developers think of Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator.
- The appearance of the game has been pumped up quite a lot compared to the old trailers.
MOUSE: P.I. for Hire is set to be released in 2025.
