In the upcoming game, “MOUSE: P.I. for Hire, you step into the shoes of a private investigator, Jack Pepper, in a city reminiscent of gritty 1930s noir.

Your mission: uncover hidden secrets lurking within this noir-inspired urban jungle. The game is set for release this year.
In 2025, the game titled “Mouse: Private Investigator for Hire” will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC through Steam.
