About Troy Baker<\/h3>\n

Troy Baker, renowned for his dynamic voice performances in The Last of Us<\/em> and Bioshock Infinite<\/em>, takes on an unexpected but compelling new role as a hardened, battle-scarred mouse navigating a brutal, rodent-sized underworld. This gritty tale explores themes of survival, loyalty, and revenge, with Baker lending his signature emotional depth to a small hero in a dangerous, oversized world.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been keeping an eye on Mouse: P.I. For Hire ever since it was first announced,\u201d Baker shared in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe game\u2019s visual style, mechanics, and 1930s noir vibe keep pulling me in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"TroyThough it draws inspiration from classic animation, reminiscent of Cuphead<\/em>, PlaySide Studios has emphasized that Mouse: P.I. For Hire<\/em> isn\u2019t taking the easy route.

ABOUT THE CHARACTER<\/h3>\n

The character voiced by Baker, Jack Pepper, might have an adorable appearance, but his past is anything but soft. A former soldier turned private eye, Jack has seen his fair share of hardship. The game begins with him looking into a classic case involving a damsel in distress, but it quickly becomes apparent that there\u2019s more beneath the surface.
