Fumi on its new FPS:
…MOUSE boasts a unique visual style inspired by the charm of 1930s rubber hose animation, transporting players to a nostalgic era of early cartoons. Players assume the role of a private detective navigating a noir city teeming with violent mobsters and a host of characters from the criminal underbelly.
Unravel a quest for justice in a city mired in corruption and chaos. Utilize a diverse arsenal of weapons, power-ups, and explosives to thwart the takeover ambitions of corrupt politicians. The game’s playful weaponry, uniquely animated UI, and cartoon-inspired enemy behavior add a lighthearted twist to the FPS genre.
