Turns out that the 50-minute show we were promised was actually a 30-minute show, and then 20 minutes of MOUSE: P.I. For Hire. Not that we're complaining, it does look like an interesting game, and I hope it plays as good as it looks!

Join private investigator Jack Pepper on a guns blazing, jazz-fueled adventure in MOUSE: P.I. For Hire. MOUSE combines the charm of hand-drawn rubber hose animation inspired by the classic cartoons of the 1930s with the adrenaline and action of an explosive first-person shooter.
