The new footage gives us our best look yet at the rubber hose animation style in motion, blending the whimsical look of 1930s cartoons with the visceral impact of a modern first-person shooter. In a major reveal for the narrative, industry veteran Troy Baker takes on the lead role of Jack Pepper, a war hero turned detective who finds himself tangled in a web of murder and conspiracy that goes much deeper than a standard missing persons case.
The trailer highlights several gameplay layers beyond the core gunplay. We see a glimpse of the weapon upgrade system, hand-drawn cinematic cutscenes that bridge the action, and a baseball card collecting minigame that adds a bit of flavor to the gritty streets of Mouseburg. It’s clear that Fumi Games is leaning hard into the noir atmosphere, using the high-contrast black-and-white aesthetic to frame a story that feels genuinely mature despite the cartoonish character designs.
For those looking to jump in on day one, the game will be available digitally across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Pricing is set at $29.99 for the Standard Edition and $39.99 for the Deluxe Edition. If you want a deeper look at the gameplay before pulling the trigger, the game is also scheduled for a featured spot during the Galaxies Spring 2026 Showcase on launch day.
Whether you're here for the unique visual gimmick or the promise of a tight indie shooter, the inclusion of Baker suggests a heavy focus on the narrative weight of Pepper's journey. We'll see if the mystery holds up when the case file opens next week.
