Based mostly on its trailers, you would be forgiven for viewing Mouse: P.I. for Rent as Cuphead meets Doom. Though it does embody FPS motion, Engadget’s Jessica Conditt found surprising depth behind its whimsical brutality. The sport “has extra to supply than shock-value cartoon violence,” she wrote. “It is a clue-gathering, photo-snapping, girlfriend-avenging, noir detective simulator that occurs to star a bunch of slick-talking mice and rats, and I am absolutely into it.”

Baker plays Private Investigator Jack Pepper, the sport’s protagonist. When he is not looking clues or sneaking round in the course of the recreation’s quieter moments, he’ll have a pleasant arsenal readily available. This contains wacky ones like a turpentine gun that melts the inked “pores and skin” of your foes. Enjoyable stuff.
