What to Expect From MOUSE: P.I. For Hire
MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is a first-person shooter with a rubber-hose animation style. If you notice any similarities between lead protagonist Jack Pepper and Mickey Mouse, that’s because this game is one of the first projects that entered development when the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse hit the public domain.
A short behind-the-scenes documentary was released in October 2025, covering the development of MOUSE. It was shared during the ID@Xbox Fall showcase.
The game is full of charm and cheese. There are also puns, lots of puns. If you want to know more, you can check out our equally pun-filled preview of the game at this link.

Everyone should buy this great price and game looks amazing
Devs always inflate the hours to get sales so MAYBE its 10-15 hours.
Its also an overpriced indie game compared to the amazing 15 dollar ones we already have.
