Get ready for some seriously stylish mayhem! Fumi Games and PlaySide Studios have just dropped a brand-new trailer for their upcoming first-person shooter, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, and it’s packing some truly unique firepower. This black and white, rubber hose animation-inspired title is looking more exciting than ever, thanks to a fresh arsenal of “experimental” weapons revealed by the dev team at SPIKE-D. Cloud gamers, prepare to freeze, stun, and even erase your cartoonish foes!
Experimental Tech for a Grimy World
Forget your standard shooters – MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is bringing a whole new level of creativity to combat. These aren’t just guns; they’re “home essentials” with a decidedly destructive twist. Let’s take a look at the bizarre but brilliant line-up:
- CLEAN-D Automatic Turpentine Cleanser (The Turpentine Gun): Need to tidy up the mean streets of Mouseburg? The Turpentine Gun is your answer! This “must-have for every household” boasts a patented mixture of toxins and a corrosive design, perfect for literally erasing those stubborn “stains” – both on surfaces and, presumably, your enemies.
- COOL-D Cold Steam Applier (The Freeze Gun): Keep your cool and your enemies frozen solid with the Freeze Gun. Marketed as a way to “keep your cheese fresh,” this icy device offers a more… permanent solution for unwanted guests. Just be careful about accidental shattering – we wouldn’t want any messy clean-up!
- MIND-D Self-Aware Attitude Changer (The Conscious Gun): Prepare to bend minds with the most intriguing weapon of the bunch: the Conscious Gun. This “mesmerizing product” is all about hypnotizing and subduing your opponents. Forget awkward introductions; making friends in Mouseburg is about to get a whole lot easier (and weirder).
Dive into the Cartoon Underworld
MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is slated to launch this year on PC, consoles and cloud, promising a unique blend of classic cartoon aesthetics and fast-paced FPS action. Here’s a reminder of what makes this title stand out:
