Cool game, enjoyed it. But achievement wise, it can be very painful. I thought i could get all collectibles without a guide, costing me multiple playthroughs. 🤣There's no new game+ or mission select at all; you are SOL if you can't get what you need at the end. You'll have to restart from scratch and collect it all again. 🤯 i thought i was losing my mind by the end of it! Achievements were also BUGGED at launch, requiring more playthroughs either way. (fixed now)

There's so much you can easily miss; baseball cards and comics are well hidden. If you walk into an area, a door will likely lock behind you, so you are cooked if you ran past a collectible you needed. The only shot is to hope you have an autosave if that happens. You CAN buy some missed items from the shop, but there is still not much room for error. GL if you are doing this blind without a guide!

TLDR: USE a guide for the game, even if you don't like to. Don't make the same mistake as me. Wont even be close to 64 hours if you use powerpyx or something 👍

i have been following the road for maybe 5-10 minutes and i haven't gotten anywhere. It just repeats, i could go back but i am hesitant because of how far i've already went.

You meet him in one of the early levels in a bathroom. He's like a janitor type guy and says something about not having time to talk and he hears some baddies coming. Jack kind of glosses over him as if it's nothing out the ordinary.

However he later reappears I believe the first time you go to Jack's office and are returning to your car, seen under the intersection. After a few seconds he disappears like a magician into smoke. As of now there is one post on this sub about it with about 3 comments, and this is the only instance of discussing his reappearance I've seen on reddit AND ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET.

However he appears again in one of the road houses behind damage/hole in the wall, and he's completely stationary. I just encountered him for a split second in a locked room in the Nuthouse level and he again disappeared. I've seen him other times too. He's like the guy who randomly appears in the Half Life games where it's really easy to miss.

Anyone else seen him? Is there any discussion about this?

EDIT: For anyone unaware, Jack's first meeting with Mike Maple is at 18:40 in this random youtubers walkthrough video. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edeuEuiCvN8

The reason why Jack pepper wears green instead of red now is because mickey wore Green in his first color appearance so it's a reference to that. Also the enemies wearing red is intended to be a jab at Mickey.

I guess you could say this is where the fun begins.

I have fallen and I cant get up. Idk where I should post bugs but I found a hole in the map. Just reloaded save and I can do it again too.

As you can see in the screenshot you will be able to revisit any location with the white hand being the main mission you need to go to and the grey hands being the side missions you can do as well.

Get ready for MOUSE: Reloaded a mod coming soon to PC for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire

I just finished the story of this game and I'll start off by saying I LOVED it and so far I have it as my number 1 contender for indie game of the year.

The review:

As for the game itself it was a really fun time and I was never bored while playing it, the rubber hose animated characters meshed surprisingly well in a 3D environment, the story was really fun to playthrough and the characters were all really charming as well. It deadass felt like they ripped these characters straight from the og black and white cartoons back in the day which i grew up watching thanks to some old discs and tapes my aunt had. Also the cheese puns didn't get old surprisingly enough, there were a lot but not too much to the point where it felt overused.

Top 3 characters (in no particular order)

-Jack

-Tammy

-John

What I would change/add:

Honestly the only I would add is some sort of chapter/mission select after you finish the game's story since there's A LOT of missable collectibles along the way. I did manage to collect all the comics, newspapers and cards since I followed a guide however I somehow managed to miss key clues for the blue Betty and missing magician cases at some point meaning I missed my chance at the platinum and I can't find any guides anywhere that tell you where all the key clues are so I hope someone makes one at some point. Plus I also didn't get enough money to do 30 baseball card matches, even though I triple checked every room and enemy corpse to collect all the money I could it felt like it's impossible to get every achievement in one playthrough because of it (or maybe it is and I'm just bad at collecting money).

Overall I give this game bare minimum an 8/10, at most a 9/10 if they do add a mission select or ng+ in the future. 100% recommend everyone at least try it once.
