Mouse: P.I. for Hire - Official 'Meet The Cast' Trailer

The upcoming black and white first-person shooter, Mouse P.I. for Hire, features several key characters voiced by a talented cast. Troy Baker voices Jack Pepper, the main protagonist, an ex-war hero and cop turned private eye. Jack is tasked with solving three cases that lead him into the dangerous parts of Mouseberg. Tammy Tumbler, voiced by Florian Clare, is an intelligent and resourceful young mouse who works as a skilled mechanic and tinkerer. She operates a workshop called Tammy Barrens in Mouseburg, where she upgrades Jack's weapons. John Brown, voiced by Frank Todaro, is a hardworking shrew who opened a bar called Little and Big in Mouseburg after his hometown was destroyed. Cornelius Stilton, voiced by Cameron Grimes, is a jovial, upper-middle-class former war commander who became a politician. He serves as a crucial ally to Jack, providing essential information throughout the game. Wanda Fuller, also voiced by Florian Clare, is a seasoned journalist who teams up with Jack to work on cases, driven by a desire to help people despite her tough, cynical exterior. The voice actors shared insights into the inspirations behind their characters. The team decided Jack Pepper should sound like a grizzled detective who "ate too many cheese sticks," giving him a deep, world-weary tone. Wanda Fuller's voice was inspired by a blend of deadpan sarcasm, drawing from Mella Aubrey Plaza, April from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Newsies. For Tammy Tumbler, the inspiration came from Tony DiPoni from "An American Tale," resulting in a tomboyish vocal style. Cornelius Stilton's voice incorporated elements of a New York mayor or a World War I veteran, with a hint of a timid Frasier Crane, suggesting a character who puts on airs but remains capable. The actors also shared their favorite lines and moments from the game. Troy Baker enjoyed a scene where Jack's narration is performed live, making it audible to other characters, leading to humorous interactions. Florian Clare's favorite line is Tammy's "Hiya, Jack!" while Cameron Grimes appreciated the multiple cheese puns in the dialogue. Frank Todaro highlighted a line about "perfect bog fondue" that "makes your whiskers curl." Mouse P.I. for Hire is set to release on April 16th for PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X and S. The cast expressed excitement for players to experience the fun, cool, and nostalgic game.
