Fumi Games and PlaySide Studio have unveiled new details about their eagerly anticipated game, *MOUSE: P.I. For Hire*, which has captured the attention of gamers worldwide due to its unique visual style inspired by 1930s cartoons. This first-person shooter dives deep into the noir genre, allowing players to step into the shoes of private detective Jack Pepper as he unravels mysterious cases amidst a backdrop of jazz and dynamic urban landscapes.

In an exciting announcement made on the game's official X social media page, the developers have confirmed that *MOUSE: P.I. For Hire* will be free from microtransactions. They 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 decision to eschew microtransactions is noteworthy, particularly for a single-player indie shooter, as it underscores the developers' commitment to delivering a complete gaming experience without additional purchases.

*MOUSE: P.I. For Hire* transports players to a nostalgic era with its distinctive visual aesthetic, drawing heavily from the charm of 1930s rubber hose animation. As players navigate the noir city filled with mobs, gangs, and other nefarious characters, they'll use an array of weapons, power-ups, and explosives to thwart corrupt politicians and restore order to a city teeming with chaos and corruption. The game injects humor into traditional first-person shooter mechanics with whimsical weaponry, a unique health display, and cartoon-like adversaries, adding a playful twist to the gritty atmosphere.

While an exact release date for *MOUSE: P.I. For Hire* has not been announced, fans can look forward to its arrival in 2025. This game promises to be a delightful blend of vintage cartoon charm and intense noir action, making it a must-watch for enthusiasts of both genres.
