A clue; a lead; what more could a Mouse Detective want? How about a new gameplay trailer reveal? Eureka! Our latest gameplay trailer reveals more of our handcrafted gameplay, as you step into the paws of Private Investigator Jack Pepper on a guns-blazing adventure through the seedy criminal underbelly of Mouseburg. Utilize an assorted arsenal of weapons, power-ups and explosives as you unravel the city’s dark secrets and embark on a quest for justice.

• Iconic Style: The monochromatic, hand-drawn rubber hose animation and original retro jazz soundtrack are created with the same techniques of the era. The playful weaponry, whimsical health display, and cartoon chaos add a light-hearted twist to each death.
• Customizable Power-Ups: Enhance melee combat with a can of Spike-D Spinach, or even attach Pepper’s mouse tail to a Grappling Hook to rapidly traverse Mouseberg’s rooftops.
• Fast-paced Action: Discover and combine powerful upgrades with comical weapons to violently blow apart enemies. From crackling Tommy guns to explosive firepower, use a mix of combat styles that adjust to play style preferences to defeat enemies in epic fights and challenging boss battles.
• A City of Danger: Join Jack Pepper’s diverse city playground spanning a movie studio, dockland, casino, swamp marshland, and underground sewer network locations. But beware of what lurks beneath the surface! Embark on a gripping detective adventure and encounter a mischievous cast of big bads as Pepper takes a gritty journey to the dark side of town.

Everything you see here is 100% TRUE (and we’re constantly hard working on it)

We’re still discussing on final MOUSE release date, but 2025 is one to go! (which is essentially our goal) but we’re also aiming to make sure to have the best game possible! Thanks for your support!
