Mouse, the answer to the question, "What if Cuphead was in black-and-white and a first-person shooter?" has got a new official name: Mouse: P.I. For Hire. To celebrate the new name ahead of Gamescom 2024, Fumi Games and Playside have released this new gameplay trailer.

About This Game

MOUSE, a gritty and noir-fueled FPS shooter that draws inspiration from classic cartoons of the 1930s.

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.

Just wait for Disney to see this...

Spoiler: Explanation

Disney finally lost copyright to Steamboat Willy character which is why this game can be made.

After this trailer we can say that gaming is absolutely dead

Or not?

Looks awesome. I love film noir, and anthropomorphic mice; Mrs Frisby, Great Mouse Detective, The Rescuers, Redwall, Jack and Gus Gus from Cinderella, Moss Book, etc.

Hope this makes its way to PS5.

Yeah, I think they are using vertical field of view instead of horizontal, which makes me somewhat disoriented too.

Disney built its cinema empire on the backs of the public domain. It's about time they give back.

Day 1, looks fun......wait a minute..

OMG STOP! WE NEED TO KEEP POLITCS OUT OF GAMING! WTF! I was out here looking to buy a game, not a lecture.

We play games to escape from reality, yet this game is in the 1930s, a time period that can be referenced, WTF!!!!! /s

Specially since they dont give a fuck about their past and dont loose any opportunity to shit on it.

 

[BlackTron]

I just noticed this elsewhere and I'm shocked. The animation is insane. Cuphead FPS

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Looks good. I'd play through it just to see all of the animation they have to offer.
I like stuff like this; such as Cuphead.

 

[SportsFan581]

I like the cartoon aesthetic, hopefully it plays well.
