MOUSE boasts a unique visual style inspired by the charm of 1930s rubber hose animation, transporting players to a nostalgic era of early cartoons. Players assume the role of a private detective navigating a noir city teeming with mob violence and a host of characters from the criminal underbelly.
Unravel a quest for justice in a city mired in chaos and corruption. Utilize a diverse arsenal of weapons, power-ups, and explosives to thwart corrupt politicians’ takeover ambitions. The game’s playful weaponry, unique health display, and cartoon-inspired enemy behavior add a lighthearted twist to the first-person shooter genre.
