Odencat has announced that it will release “cute and spooky horror adventure” Mousebusters on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on June 25. The game is available now on PC via Steam.
Recently, Final Weapon reviewed Mousebusters and gave it a 3.5/5. We described it as an “adventure game with point-and-click, puzzle, and shoot ’em up elements. The gameplay loop is okay but slow at times. The characters are fun but not all of them stick the landing. The narrative can be slow but picks up in the second half leading to a satisfying ending. While it has issues the last hour of the game more than make up for them and I enjoyed my time with it. Especially since you can beat it in an afternoon.”
Lastly, here’s an overview of Mousebusters, via Steam:
Welcome to Mousebusters!
You just moved into your new place, and are excited to settle in…when all of a sudden, you get turned into a mouse! Thankfully, you soon meet a fellow rodent who knows how to help.
He asks you to call him “Chief,” and explains that there’s only one way to break the curse: by ridding the whole apartment building of the ghosts that haunt its inhabitants
Get to Know Your New Neighbors
In each apartment, you’ll find a different ghost—but it won’t be that easy to track them down. It seems they prey on negative emotions, so in order to smoke them out, you’ll have to do some major recon to figure out each resident’s biggest insecurities. Just don’t get caught!
A Partner You Can Count On
Luckily, you won’t have to go it alone, because you’ll be in frequent contact with the Chief throughout each mission. From his comfy desk at HQ, he’ll offer plenty of guidance and comedic commentary as you scour the building and solve puzzles to find each ghost.
Engage in Ghost-Zapping Action!
Once you’ve tracked down the source of each resident’s woes, you’ll have to whip out your trusty ray gun and perform a good ol’ fashioned exorcism. Protect yourself from projectiles while targeting their weak points to expose their spectral cores!
Venture Down the Rabbit Hole
Over the course of your investigations, you’ll slowly uncover more and more evidence that suggests something far more ominous is going on with this building…and it seems the Chief knows more about the curse than he’s letting on. Just how deep does this conspiracy go?
