Despite its hard-boiled detective story, Mouse: P.I. For Hire will play like a fairly traditional first-person shooter. The game promises to offer a varied assortment of comical weapons and upgrades, which can be combined to dispatch enemies in many creative ways. Its 1930s animation influences extend beyond the visuals, with the game also set to feature a retro jazz soundtrack inspired by the very same era.
