Starring globally renowned actor Troy Baker (The Last of Us, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, BioShock Infinite and more) as Private Investigator Jack Pepper, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire puts you in a world where danger lurks even in the tiniest mouse hole.

Something stinks in Mouseburg, and it’s not just the overripe brie.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire draws inspiration from the classic cartoons of the 1930s and echoes gritty noir movies of the era.

For Hire, with fans across the world on March 19, 2026”, says Mateusz Michalak, CEO & Founder. “Set in the cartoon-noir city of Mouseburg, MOUSE: P.I.
