Forums - Indie - Mouse: P.I. for Hire — Most visually interesting indie I’ve ever seen

What are your thoughts? I’ve known about this game’s existence for a while, but was only just reminded of it recently.

I have my eye on it as well, both for its visual style and also cos I'm a big fan of these old school retro FPS titles.

Nice to see games trying something a bit different.

Cuphead could have brought a revival of pre-WW2 animation styles, as it's art style has been very well received. This one looks like early Merry Melodies with a bit less wackiness (going by the trailer, no talking plants or objects), while Cuphead looked more like Betty Boo in Technicolor. And I dig it, both the art style and the fact that it's an old-school shooter, not the bland hero/looter shooters that get pumped out so much these days.



A longer look at the game in action:

The game releases on the 19th of March on Switch 1 and 2, PS4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, and PC.



Well, reviews are in: 81 MC & 83 OC. Solid scores! Granted, you should ALWAYS take aggregate review scores with a grain of salt, though it does signal that perhaps the game has stuck the landing. I’ve also read +20hr content… which, yeah, that’s pretty jam packed for your standard indie game.

The game is getting a physical version July 10th that will include a proper Game Card release for Switch 2:

That’s cool! Though know how much more expensive physical is than digital (often times its more than double the price, e.g. Bubsy 4D, Super Meat Boy 3D, etc.), I honestly don’t care enough to drop the cash. Almost feels like a scam TBH.

…Sorry for going off on a tangent lol!
