PlaySide Studios has announced that Troy Baker will play Jack Pepper is upcoming 30’s noir-inspired first-person shooter, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire.
This was announced as part of the Summer Games Fest Live showcase, which revealed a new trailer. Baker is well known for his voice acting in games, starring in the likes of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, The Last of Us, BioShock Infinite, and many, many more titles.
“I have been following the development of MOUSE: P.I. For Hire since it was first teased.” said Troy Baker. “Its art style, gameplay and 1930s film-noir aesthetic continue to win me over. I cannot wait to keep working with the team to bring Jack Pepper to life and hope to have some exciting things to share as we get closer to launch!”
As revealed during Summer Game Fest, Baker will play Private Investigator Jack Pepper – the game’s lead protagonist – a former war hero, now a detective in a world where danger lurks in the smallest mouse hole. His journey starts with a seemingly cliché damsel in distress, but as P.I. Pepper begins to scratch the surface of Mouseburg’s seedy underbelly, it quickly spirals into a complex web of intrigue, involving murder, corruption and the unlikeliest of enemies.
MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is a gritty, noir-fueled first-person shooter that draws inspiration from the classic cartoons of the 1930s. The monochromatic visual style of hand-drawn rubber hose animation was created with the same techniques of the era. As Private Investigator Jack Pepper, you will discover that a corrupt city full of crooks and danger is just a taste of things to come. Explore the noir-inspired city teeming with heavily armed gangs, mobs and characters from the dark side to uncover the secrets within Mouseburg. MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is planned for release this year.
MOUSE: P.I. For hire is coming later this year.
