We’re beginning to think that Fumi Games might have a banger on its hands with Mouse: P.I. For Hire, and it isn’t just because of that music video that dropped a few days ago.
An explosive new launch trailer is live, and it has us eager to see what Jack Pepper gets up to in a world that’s so absurdly over-the-top, its chaos is just a part of the fun. Mouseburg is already quite interesting on its own, and Jack’s corny one-liners are a perfect fit, reminding us of those old detective films with world-weary protagonists.
It’s a solid showcase of what the game is going to throw at you, from its investigations, combat, upgrade menus, and more. It promises about 12 to 20 hours of gameplay (depending on how you play) for just $30, and that’s not counting the post-launch expansion that was announced a couple of weeks ago. There’s a lot to feel optimistic about with this one.
As always, we’re erring on the side of caution and waiting until we get some time with it before we actually begin celebrating. Like all of you, we’ve been burned before. But we must admit that the trailer, showcased below, makes it pretty damn hard to keep our excitement in check. MOUSE: P.I. For Hire arrives on April 16th, so it’s not long before we can finally dive in.
