A new trailer has just been released for Mouse: P.I. For Hire, the upcoming black and white, first person shooter from Fumi Games and PlaySide Studios. Live out your sci-fi dreams with these “experimental” weapons, each providing a unique but devastating way of taking down Mouseburg’s seedy underbelly:

COOL-D Cold Steam Applier - The Freeze Gun: Stay frosty with the Freeze Gun, an icy device that can keep your cheese fresh and freeze your foes in place (side effects may include accidental shattering). Forget the ice box and be one of the first in the world to try out its arctic breeze.

MIND-D Self-Aware Attitude Changer - The Conscious Gun: Our most mesmerizing product yet, the Conscious Gun is all about hypnotizing and subduing the competition. Making friends has never been so mind-blowingly easy, especially at these low-low prices.

Fast-paced Action: Discover and combine powerful upgrades with comical weapons to violently blow apart enemies. From crackling Tommy guns to explosive firepower, use a mix of combat styles that adjust to play style preferences to defeat enemies in epic fights and challenging boss battles.

But beware of what lurks beneath the surface! Embark on a gripping detective adventure and encounter a mischievous cast of big bads as Pepper takes a gritty journey to the dark side of town.
