Mouse Pi For Hide who is the meeting between Mickey and Cuphead, and especially one of the most anticipated games of the year, takes advantage of the period of the Summer Game Fest 2025 to make a comeback.
Thanks to conferences of Summer Game Fest 2025a whole flopping of games, independent, AA and AAA, have been highlighted whether they are already known or freshly announced titles. Among the plethora of video game productions, there is Mouse Pi For Hire, the first project of Fumi Games. An action title which refers to the aesthetics of old cartoons and in particular the famous short film Steamboat Willie. Does it deserve its place in the list of most coveted indesigned games of 2025? It looks crazy!
Mouse Pi For Hire releases the big game
Yes, we know that many players have eyes only for Hollow Knight Silksong And it happens by the end of the year. Finally if we trust that the Cherry team said. But this suite is not the only independent game that shines with its artistic direction and the future Mouse PI For Hire is clearly a pretender to one of the most beautiful games ever released. It’s what ? A meeting between Mickey and Cuphead.
In Mouse Pi for Hire, we play the detective Jack Pepper, who converted into a private investigator after being a war hero. A police officer who will find himself involved in a story involving murders and corruptions in the lowlands of Sourisville. On the occasion of the Summer Game Fest 2025, we could see new extracts and it always makes you want. Fumi Games has chosen to unveil a mission that takes place in an opera that is infiltrated in search of a certain Roland. And for that, our rodent detective will have several possibilities. Either pay $ 30 to bring a server of the kitchens of the building, or look around to make the trunk through a ventilation duct.
And Mouse PI For Hire seems very linear, there are times when we must take different roads, or turn back as when one of the gates of the ventilation duct gives up under our weight. There is therefore a whole exploration and platform part which will evolve over the game since we can for example obtain a double jump to access secret collectibles.
A magnificent indie game
As soon as Mouse Pi For Hire announced itself as one of the The most anticipated indés games of 2025 thanks to its absolutely magnificent aesthetic which reproduces “The charm of a retro animation drawn by hand inspired by the cartoons of the 1930s”. Yes, as Cupheadthe difference being that we are here on black and white. For an independent game, it is teeming with details. Each action, weapon or object is an opportunity to offer a very licked and lively animation. Whether it is weapon shots, hemoglobin splashes, the dead, the TNT boxes that move on their own or the characters who make their meals on their sides, Mouse Pi for Hire clearly captures the cartoon.
The only unknown for the moment, which deserves to wait until you have the game in your hands is the gameplay. We doubt sensations or even AI, which is at times too spectator of the action, and takes time to react. In this presentation of Mouse Pi for Hire, there is also an overview of a boss fight against the singer which is relatively quickly dispatched. After defeating her, our detective plays Nathan Drake and tries to run away from the Opera on fire by liquidating all the enemies that flock. If there are questions, the software still deserves to be among the indesible games to monitor 2025.
