AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
IGN South Africa has released twelve minutes of exclusive gameplay for Mouse: P.I. for Hire, showcasing the second mission of the rubberhose-animated shooter starring Troy Baker.
The latest look at Mouse: P.I. for Hire is finally here, giving us a deep dive into what makes this noir-inspired shooter tick. As part of its IGN First coverage, IGN South Africa recently debuted twelve minutes of exclusive gameplay from the upcoming first-person shooter. The footage drops players right into Vaudeville, which serves as the second mission in the game's campaign.
Starring Troy Baker as rodent private investigator Jack Pepper, the title leans hard into its distinct 1930s rubberhose animation style. Seeing the classic cartoon aesthetic clash with frantic first-person gunplay immediately sets it apart in a crowded market. It gives off strong throwback vibes while keeping the mechanical pacing modern, which is a tricky balance for indie developers to pull off.
For players tracking unique visual directions and narrative-driven shooters, this extended look offers plenty of promise. We will have to see if the full release can maintain the momentum of its striking art style throughout the entire campaign. You can check out the original twelve-minute gameplay breakdown over at IGN South Africa.
