Set to launch in 2025, PlaySide Publishing and Fumi Games has released a new gameplay trailer for first-person shooter, Mouse.
The 1930s noir and cartoon inspired FPS was shown during the Triple-I Initiative showcase on April 10th, and showed off some new facets of the game we hadn’t seen before, like the helicopter (“reduces descent speed and facilitates extended aerial traversal”), PowerUp Spinach (“used to augment and enhance melee gameplay”), and grappling hook (“enables attachment to designated points for rapid movement and traversal).
Check out the trailer, below:
MOUSE boasts a unique visual style inspired by the charm of 1930s rubber hose animation, transporting players to a nostalgic era of early cartoons. Assume the role of a private detective navigating a noir city teeming with gangs, mobs, and characters from the dark side. Unravel a quest for justice in a noir city mired in chaos, corruption, and vibrant energy, utilizing a diverse arsenal of weapons, power-ups, and explosives to thwart the takeover by corrupt politicians. The game’s playful weaponry and distinctive health display, coupled with enemies behaving like cartoon characters, add a lighthearted twist to traditional FPS gameplay.
